    What does abiding in Christ, who is the true vine mean for me today - mission?

    Sermon Story: When Maddy and I lived in Switzerland we had a couple of vines in the back garden.

I got a ...read more

    Hate The Sin; Love The Sinner

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Jul 20, 2014
     | 3,066 views

    If we are to effectively witness the Gospel to the world, regarding all kinds of evil, and living virtuous lives, we must do exactly as God has done to us: love the sinner and hate the sin.

    It’s amazing how similar the climate in the Holy Land is to the climate here in South Texas, especially in the summer. The figs in our back yard are ripening, and I understand that this hot month in Palestine is also the season for ripe figs. The Scriptures are right even on agricultural ...read more

    A Brief Glimpse Of Heaven

    Contributed by Craig Condon on Oct 13, 2015
    based on 1 rating
     | 6,672 views

    In order for us to understand the resurrection, we have to expand our ideas about who and what God is and what we can do. We can’t limit God with our own limited human reasoning. God continually surprises us. The future he has planned for us is glorious.

    Have you ever wondered about what life will be like in heaven after we die? If so, you’ll be interested in what Jesus has to say about the subject in the passage from Luke 20:27-38. The Sadducees’ question about the resurrection was a ridiculous one because the Sadducees did not ...read more

     | 6,002 views

    Until Jesus returns and ushers in the eternal heaven, what is life like for God's children who are in heaven now?

    We have made note of the fact that God isn’t through with heaven. When a child of God dies, they pass into the immediate presence of our Lord and do go to heaven. But the heaven they go to is an intermediate heaven. Upon the return of our Lord, He will establish a new heaven and a new earth - ...read more

    Part 7 of 10 in a series dedicated to debunking commonly held myths that we think are in the Bible but really aren't, myths that can and often do have devastating effects on our faith.

    INTRODUCTION: I’m pretty much convinced that it could go without saying that each and every one of us wants to make right choices, we want to do the right things, and we desire positive outcomes in all decisions that we make, and as believers we ultimately want to glorify God in the ...read more

    Malachi: "God’s Love Is On The Way"

    Contributed by Dave Mcfadden on Dec 13, 2016
     | 5,355 views

    The believers in Israels in Malachi's day needed to have their eyes opened to the compassion of God above them; the need of those around them; and the callousness within them.

    Through-out this book, the prophet Malachi addresses the unbelieving people of Israel. But in our passage today, he turns to the few believers left in the nation. They were lamenting the lack of action on the part of God to bring judgment to unbelievers around them. They'd concluded God was ...read more

    Emotions And Sensory Spirituality

    Contributed by Dr. Craig Nelson on Jan 24, 2017
    based on 5 ratings
     | 6,913 views

    God never intended emotions or feelings to guide or reveal what is right or wrong. They are constantly changing, and they need to be controlled because they can take control of a person and lead them into serious error and deception.

    Human emotions are deeply intertwined with the five basic senses of sight, smell, taste, touch, and hearing, which human beings use to investigate and perceive the world around them. They are essential for processing, learning, perception, reasoning, problem-solving and adapting to the events of ...read more
