    Contributed by Isaac Butterworth on Feb 20, 2004
    based on 16 ratings
     | 4,560 views

    Is our God too small? Do we labor under misconceptions about what he is really like? Isn’t it time that we seek to be more like God and give up trying to make him more like us?

    Too often we think God has too many rules and laws and we do not embrace God because of the rules/legalism

    Believing and Not Believing The God of Rules May 7, 2017 I believe there are lots of people who would love to be followers of Jesus, people who want to believe, however, something holds them back.

    Psalm 1:1-6 shows us the path of blessing and fulfillment in life.

    Scripture I came across a poem that I believe is titled, “Don’t Grieve for Me.” It reads as follows: When I’ve been to my last service, / And fades softly on the air, / The notes of the last song for me, / And then the final prayer. When friends arise and slowly walk / Down the long church ...read more

    Repent Or Perish

    Contributed by John Williams Iii on Mar 18, 2022
     | 2,768 views

    What is Jesus’s teaching about “repent or perish” telling us? Is it not the same as saying choose life or choose death? Today we will talk about tragedy and repentance.

    REPENT OR PERISH Text: Luke 13:1-9 Luke 13:1- 9 At that time, some people who were there told Jesus about the Galileans whose blood Pilate had mixed with their sacrifices.  (2)  He asked them, "Do you think that these Galileans were more sinful than all the other Galileans because ...read more

    What Do You See?

    Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Apr 7, 2022
     | 3,539 views

    Have you ever been hit on the head and had someone take you to the emergency room and a doctor examined you?

    He held up some fingers and asked you, “How many fingers do you see?” If he holds up four fingers and you see four of them, then he says you are OK. But if he holds up two and you see four of them, you have a problem. In Mark 8, this is similar to what happened. Look at verses 22-25, we read, ...read more

    Finding The Lost Series

     | 2,897 views

    We are happy to look for the lost. We are happy that Jesus, at least, is willing to venture out to find those who have strayed and to bring them home for a celebration. The problem is, at some point, many of us give up on the lost. We give up, but Jesus Goes to get you, to find the lost.

    Finding the Lost Having Words with Jesus FOURTEENTH SUNDAY AFTER PENTECOST, YEAR C Luke 15:1-10 The Story of the Lost Sheep 15 1-3 By this time a lot of men and women of questionable reputation were hanging around Jesus, listening intently.

    What’s So Good About Good Friday Series

    Contributed by Lalachan Abraham on Apr 17, 2025
     | 428 views

    Beyond etymology, Good Friday can be called “good” because of the results of Christ’s death on the cross. Jesus’ sacrifice was a demonstration of God’s love for us (Romans 5:8).

    The significance of a person’s death depends largely on two things: who they are and what caused them to die. Good Friday, the Friday before Easter, is the Christian day to commemorate the crucifixion of Jesus and His death at Calvary. Jesús willingly suffered and died by crucifixion as the ...read more

    Five Things God Doesn’t Know

    Contributed by John Gaston on Jul 26, 2025
     | 385 views

    One of the attributes or characteristics of God is omniscience, He is all-knowing, He knows everything. Yet, I can think of some things that even God doesn’t know. We’re going to look at 5 of them.
