    Unbelief is very stubborn. In fact, there are some who will simply not believe in Jesus, no matter what evidence is offered.

    Addressing The Realities Of Life Series

    Contributed by Ed Vasicek on Mar 23, 2015
     | 7,160 views

    Being human is generally a good thing. The temptation in our day is to manipulate or engineer human nature and deny its realities. But a church is about real people, redeemed by Jesus, but fully human — even more human — because of that redemption.

    Addressing the Realities of Life (I Timothy 5:1-16) 1. Some people have a sanitized view of life. Life, however, is often less glamourous. 'Cash, check or charge?' I asked, after folding items the woman wished to purchase. As she fumbled for her wallet, I noticed a remote control for a ...read more

    The resurrection of Christ is not simply a philosophical idea whereby His Spirit lives on in our memories. It is a reality of history. But what does this mean to us today?

    Though we acknowledge that God is in control, we will never find peace until we spend time alone with Him. What exactly is the best way for each of us to encounter Jesus? We are each unique individuals, and each of us is drawn to Jesus by different ways

    Oh the riches of this world True joy I have not found The pull of your might The chase of my wants My flesh cannot contend With the spirit man within Though we acknowledge that God is in control, we will never find peace until we spend time alone with Him.

    One of the birthrights that God gives to each one of his children is the assurance of their Salvation. I can't think of anything more important in the Christian life than knowing beyond a shadow of a doubt that we have eternal life.

    The Corinthian church was having problems. They have asked Paul to help. This passage is Paul’s 8th answer to them about a specific problem. Paul gives them the root cause for the trouble they were having. It was pride—pride in who they were and what they knew.
