    Our Prayers Have Been Answered Series

    Contributed by Gordon Pike on Apr 11, 2019
     | 5,420 views

    Throughout the Hebrew scriptures, the promise of a messiah is clearly given. These messianic prophecies were made hundreds, sometimes thousands, of years before Jesus Christ was born … and clearly Jesus Christ is the only person who has ever walked this earth who could fulfill them.

    “Jerusalem, Jerusalem … the city that kills the prophets and stones those who are sent to it!” (Matthew 23: 37). Prophetic and chilling words given the one who spoke them. They are the last words that the Lord Jesus Christ would address to His beloved city, Jerusalem … the city that hailed Him ...read more

    One of the intriguing things about people is their differences.

    Illus: For example, have you noticed the difference between the employer and the employee, such as: • When you take a long time, you're slow. • When your boss takes a long time, he's thorough. • When you don't do it, you're lazy. • When your boss doesn't do it, he's too ...read more

    When Samuel grew old, and Israel looked around and saw other nations had kings, they decided they wanted one also.

    Looking around and wanting something that someone else has can get us into lots of trouble. Illus: A man saw other men with their good looking wives, and decided he wanted a wife. One day, he walked into the restaurant with a full-grown ostrich behind him, and as he sat there, the waitress came ...read more

    The Book Of Joshua 2 Of 9

    Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Mar 26, 2022
     | 2,254 views

    The Book of Joshua teaches us many valuable lessons. One of the lessons we learn in the book of Joshua is that God is a GOD OF GRACE.

    When I say God is a God of Grace, I am saying that God does what He does for us, not because of our goodness, but because of His goodness! Illus: When we think about the God of Grace, we think of the man who owned the city's newspaper who had 3 sons. He offered ownership of the paper to the ...read more

    Vanishing Values

    Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Mar 29, 2022
     | 2,923 views

    William Bennett, author of “Vanishing Values,” dealt with how the American values our forefathers held dear are rapidly vanishing in our age.

    It has proven to be true that history repeats itself. When God established Israel as a nation He gave them very strict laws, but by the time we reach the book of Judges we find those values, that God had tried to instill in that nation, HAD VANISHED. Look at Judges 17:6. We read, “In those days ...read more

     | 10,311 views

    Psalm 23 is perhaps the most well-known Psalm. It's often quoted at funerals. Although you may be familiar with it, have you ever really studied it? That's what we're going to do today and next week. Let's see what we can learn David's 23rd Psalm.

    THE LORD IS MY SHEPHERD (part one) Psalm 23:1-3 In his book, I Shall Not Want, Robert Ketchum tells about a Sunday school teacher who asked her group if any of them could quote the twenty-third psalm.

    Do You Have The Courage To Go A Different Way?

    Contributed by Jeremiah Menyongai on Mar 10, 2020
     | 8,011 views

    Anyone who comes in contact with Christ must have the courage to act when necessary. Courage is the ability to do something that frightens others. “You can choose courage or you can choose comfort but you cannot choose both.”

    DO YOU HAVE THE COURAGE TO GO A DIFFERENT WAY? 1. Matthew 2:2-12: 1 Now after Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judea in the days of Herod the king, behold, wise men from the East came to Jerusalem, 2 saying, “Where is He who has been born King of the Jews? For we have seen His star in the East and ...read more

    This message describes Jesus' response to the Pharisees because His disciples did not fast. The Pharisees opposition stemmed from a defense of the status quo. Jesus came to smash the status quo and create something new and superior.
