Can You Have God's Gifts Without God's Blessing Series

Contributed by Charles Jones on Sep 3, 2008

Samson demonstrated that it is possible to experience the gifts and power of God without the blessing of God. God gives people abilities to accomplish His purposes, but that in no way guarantees that they will seek to know Him or follow His ways.

When we look in the book of Hebrews Chapter 11 which is called "The Heroes of the Faith" we see where the Bible lists Samson as a hero of the faith the unknown writer of Hebrews say’s in (Heb. 11:32 And what shall I more say? for the time would fail me to tell of Gideon, and of Barak, and of ...read more

A Parable Of Two Sons

Contributed by Ray Ellis on Oct 6, 2008

In this parable Jesus is comparing the younger son to the tax collectors and sinners who came to Jesus. The elder son represented the Pharisees and religious rulers who continually found fault with the teachings of Jesus.

A Parable of Two Sons Luke 15:1-2, 11-32 “Tax collectors and other notorious sinners often came to listen to Jesus teach. This made the Pharisaical teachers of religious law complain that Jesus was associating with such despicable people – even eating with them.” Luke 15:1-2 The Pharisees and ...read more

It Wasn't Me!

Contributed by Scott Jensen on Oct 14, 2008

It is elastic, in that it includes a large measure of liberty for the creature; it is rigid in that it includes the ...read more

Be A Matthew

Contributed by Christian Cheong on Nov 25, 2008

Unlike the Pharisees, Jesus saw Matthew’s need, his worth and his potential. Matthew understood his own need, was willing to follow Christ and shared the Good News.

We are going to look at a man called Levi (also called Matthew in Matt 9:9-12). I will use the more familiar name Matthew here. It is surprising that Jesus would even call a tax-collector to follow Him. • Jesus was preparing a group of disciples who would eventually bring the good news about ...read more
