    God's Chosen Disciple Peter Series

    Contributed by Rich Anderson on Feb 11, 2011
    based on 9 ratings
     | 13,002 views

    The disciple Peter is the first mentioned in all four Gospels. Jesus knew Peter was a diamond in the rough and not merely a rock.

    Peter was the leader of the disciples. Simon was his real name and Jesus gave him the name Peter in addition. Peter means “Rock” (Petros in the Greek) and the church was founded on this rock. John MacCarthur refers to him as the disciple with the foot shaped mouth. His name is ...read more

    Leafy Growth

    Contributed by Jon Lipka on May 6, 2012
     | 3,988 views

    As branches of the vine, it is our purpose to produce much fruit, not simply to serve ourselves by producing leafy growth.

    God told Abram, “All people on earth will be blessed through you” (Gen. 12:3). He was not pointing to Isaac. Nor to Jacob, the first Israel; even though he brought blessing where he went, he was not the perfection of the promise—of God’s covenant. Similarly the sons of Jacob ...read more

    Who Is God And How Can You Get To Know Him? Series

    Contributed by Tom Fuller on Jun 18, 2012
    based on 1 rating
     | 5,088 views

    Jesus had to answer some very complicated questions designed to trap Him. But being the master chess player, Jesus turned the traps into times of teaching and revealing much about His true identity.

    Jesus is in the middle of debating the religious leaders who have come to challenge Him after He cleared the Temple. Last time they demanded that He prove His authority (He wouldn’t because they wouldn’t admit where John the Baptist got his authority) and then they tried to trap Him ...read more

    We become like who/what we worship. Take care in your adoration!

    1. Quotes on Worship: Ralph Waldo Emerson hit the nail on the head when he said: THE GODS we worship write their names on our faces, be sure of that. And a man will worship something —have no doubt about that, either. He may think that his tribute is paid in secret in the dark recesses of ...read more

    "Believing In Our Hearts - Knowing With Our Minds" Series

    Contributed by Rich Anderson on Jan 10, 2011
    based on 4 ratings
     | 6,765 views

    Ture wisdom only comes from God. And as we gain more wisdom our faith becomes stronger. We want to serve God and we have a desire to know Him. And the more we know Him, the more we love Him.

    I read once of a man who was lost in the desert, just dying for a drink of water. He stumbled upon an old shack – a ramshackled, windowless, roofless, weather beaten old shack. He looked around and found a little shade from the heat of the desert sun. As he glanced around he saw a pump about ...read more

    based on 8 ratings
     | 9,651 views

    In dealing with both Christians and non-Christians I have heard people say, “I am afraid that I have committed the unpardonable sin, and therefore there is no hope for me. I can’t be forgiven.” What is the unpardonable sin? Who can commit it?

    I Can’t Be Forgiven Matthew 12:32-37 In dealing with both Christians and non-Christians I have heard people say, “I am afraid that I have committed the unpardonable sin, and therefore there is no hope for me. I can’t be forgiven.” What is the ...read more

    Exposition of John 3 regarding the sending of God’s Son on Christmas was part of one of the greatest displays of the immeasurable love of God ever.

    Text: John 3:16, Title: Love Displayed, Date/Place: NRBC, Christmas Eve 2011 A. Opening illustration: I had a Greek professor in seminary who was a great help to me. He taught us how to love our wives. He wrote “The Myth of Adolescence” and taught us how to love our children. He ...read more

    The Best Is Yet To Come!

    Contributed by Warner Pidgeon on Jan 22, 2012
    based on 4 ratings
     | 9,173 views

    There are similarities between the start of John's gospel and Genesis, culminating with water into wine on the 7th day (see full text for explanation). I believe this miraculous sign reveals the glory of Jesus and says the best is yet to come.

    Christ Church - the best is yet to come! John’s gospel focuses upon signs that pointed to, and revealed the identity and glory of Jesus (2:11); and towards the end of his gospel John states why he wrote his book: ‘Jesus did many other miraculous signs in the presence of his disciples, ...read more

    Paradise is not without work. God does not ask us to do anything that He is not willing to do Himself, rest, be a father and to serve.

    What does Paradise – Fathers – Stewardship make? The Hawaiian Islands could be called paradise and that is why it is Hawaiian Sunday today. I want to share with you about paradise and what it means. Beautiful beaches, warm blue water washing up the shore. Maybe there is a soft breeze ...read more

    Why? Why? Why? Things Look Bad?

    Contributed by Wade Martin Hughes, Sr on Jul 14, 2021
     | 3,043 views

    Many seem to demand to know WHY? God does not always explain what He is doing. God teaches us just to trust his plan. Joseph could not see God's plan for many years. God was there all the time.

    WHY? WHY? WHY? THINGS LOOK SO BAD! DREAM? By Wade Martin Hughes, Sr. Kyfingers@aol.com WHY? WHY? WHY? TELL ME WHY? WHY MAKE ME GO THROUGH THIS? Years ago I was traveling and I stayed in a motel and was watching the local news. It was summer time. Football camps were taking place. ...read more
