Logic For Unbelievers To Consider

Contributed by Dennis King on Aug 28, 2018

When you come to a mind closed to God, Jesus, and all Biblical Truth, maybe logic can be used to begin a discussion?

God's Grace is freely offered to all., but what if there were no Bibles, no written words showing the way to eternal salvation? Some peoples close their mind when you just mention the God or the Bible. How could you influence someone you knew had an ironclad mind against hearing God's Word? Surely ...read more

What's In A Worldview? Series

Contributed by Tim Smith on Jun 16, 2013

What’s your worldview? Everyone has one. Whether or not we realize it, we all have certain presuppositions and beliefs that affect the way we view all of life and reality

What’s in a Worldview? Romans 12:2 I was watching the NBC national news over the holidays with my father in law. He is a very conservative Republican and loves Rush Limbaugh. Nothing wrong with that.

Anyone here named Eutychus? No? Good. Do y’all know that the Apostle Paul preached so long one night, that a young man who was perched in a window, fell asleep and fell to his death?

Now listen, I know Paul resurrected that young man, but I’d just as soon wish everyone would stay awake for the next 3 hours that I’ve been given to speak to you. Seriously though, I want y’all to receive this in the spirit in which it is given. Pastor Parrish encouraged us to “be real” in our ...read more

"Real Life” Series

Contributed by Dave Mcfadden on Sep 13, 2010

In Luke 18:9-14, Jesus describes two very different men, who took two very different approaches to connecting with God, which resulted in two very different outcomes.

Today we begin a new series on rejecting religion for something real. The “something real” is the way of Christ (Christianity), which is not a religion, but a relationship with the living God. Too many non-believers wrongly think of Christianity as “just another religion,” and, sadly, many of ...read more

How Do You Receive The Word Part 2 Series

Contributed by Tom Fuller on Oct 5, 2008

The philosophers of Paul’s day are not really that much different from what we see in the world around us in a post-Christian society. How Paul addressed them can help us in dealing with people who collect thoughts like Matchbox cars.

What did you collect as a child? I collected a number of things, pennies, model trains, marbles, and Matchbox® cars. I would wait anxiously until my mother would drive me down to the toy store so I could drool over the latest and greatest tiny little car or truck. I used to show off my more ...read more
