    For those who are resistant to God’s Word consideration beats conversation

    ENGAGE/TENSION When it comes to being a witness for Jesus, which is more important - what you do or what you say? It seems that when Christians are asked that question they tend to come down on one side or the other. Some say that the best way to be a witness for Jesus is to just love other ...read more

    When I love like Jesus loves I see life’s interruptions as divine opportunities

    ENGAGE This week, I came to the conclusion that perhaps I’ve done enough preaching on loving like Jesus and maybe it’s time to move on to something else. That’s because I’m finding that God seems to be providing way too many opportunities for me to apply what I’m ...read more

    Contributed by Bruce Lee on Aug 24, 2017
    based on 3 ratings
     | 18,734 views

    No where in the bible does it tell us to treat people the way we want to or to get even with those who don't like us. The bible does teach us not to stoop to their level.

    How to Deal with People Who Don’t Like You “Woe to you when all people speak well of you, for that is how their fathers treated the false prophets. But I tell you who hear me: Love your enemies, do good to those who hate you, bless those who curse you, pray for those who mistreat you.” Luke ...read more

    When I go through trials, what matters is who I know not what I know

    ENGAGE I can’t prove it absolutely, but my guess is that the most asked question throughout history, regardless of culture, has been this one: Why do bad things happen to good people? And that question is certainly at the heart of the life of the man that we’ll look at this morning – ...read more

    No, I didn't actually tear up a Bible, but my audience didn't know that. Find out why I pretended to do that, and what that means to those who actually do tear pages from Scripture.

    Last week I said that we’re going to make one statement over and over throughout this series: We don’t have to APOLOGIZE for our faith. We don’t need to rally to God defense. Our God is bigger than we are – and doesn’t really need our help. But in spite of that… God calls us to contend for the ...read more

     | 36,006 views

    Can Jesus raise the dead? The big question in any religion concerns death. Death is a great mystery. And life is a great mystery, but life is practically meaningless if there is no resurrection of the dead.

    Perea to Bethany Lesson: Resurrection of Lazarus John 11:1-44 Introduction Jesus’ public ministry is over and now He is concentrating on His private ministry. He centers on individuals and He is no longer reaching out to the nation of Israel. The raising of Lazarus from the dead occurred ...read more

    If you want real reconciliation and healing in your relationships, confess your own sins and forgive those who sinned against you; believing that God is in control.

    Stewart Ruch, a pastor in Wheaton, Illinois, talks about the “huge gap” between the ideal and the real in our everyday lives, using a family outing as an example.
