True Worship And The Triumphal Entry Series

Contributed by Nigel Heath on Mar 29, 2009

The shouts of ’Hosanna!’ at the triumphal entry were shallow in contrast to the devotion Mary showed to Jesus in anointing him at Bethany the day before.

TRUE WORSHIP AND THE TRIUMPHAL ENTRY John 12:1-19 INTRO From the beginning of this year we have swept through the Scriptures as though we were watching a drama unfold. A few weeks ago we reached the climax in the drama with the arrival of the King. We have looked at some of the teaching of Jesus ...read more

Seeking Grass!

Contributed by Bala Samson on Dec 5, 2012

The words ‘Ahab went one way by himself looking for grass….’, prompted me to write this devotion today.

What Can We Learn From Mary & Martha (Part 2) Series

Contributed by Dean Courtier on Apr 30, 2010

Duty and devotion are both necessary but there must be a balance. A balance where neither one would hinder us from exhibiting the other.

Last time we were together we looked at the famous story of Mary and Martha. We concluded that the Lord wants us to be like Mary in our worship, and like Martha in our work. Duty and devotion are both necessary but there must be a balance. A balance where neither one would hinder us from ...read more

"we're Fit To Be Tithed!"

Contributed by Robert Leroe on Apr 11, 2020

A lot of us are reluctant to preach on giving. Churches are often criticized for their financial appeals, yet giving is an act of discipleship, devotion, and worship.

A minister wanted to impress his congregation with the need to increase giving. He described extensive repairs required to overhaul the sanctuary. Just as he was about to ask the ushers to come forward for the offering, a piece of plaster fell from the ceiling and hit a man square on the head. ...read more

Gain The Whole World

Contributed by Bala Samson on Dec 13, 2024

So why did I title this devotion as ‘gain the whole world’, people are fascinated with the word ‘gain’ rather than ‘soul’.

SOUL Gain the whole world Mark. 8:[36] “For what shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul?” So why did I title this devotion as ‘gain the whole world’, people are fascinated with the word ‘gain’ rather than ‘soul’, anybody listening?

To An Unknown God

Contributed by Joseph Smith on Jan 15, 2010

Our world is incurably religious and is filled with people on a spiritual search. We find it easy to talk religion, but our calling is to share our relationship with the living Christ.

We are incurably religious! Wherever you go, you will find that people are religious. We are groping for something we never quite find. Ride with me up and down Sixteenth Street, here in the city, or out New Hampshire Avenue, past Colesville. The architecture is ample proof that people are ...read more

"No Additives" Series

Contributed by Keith Bunch on Feb 28, 2003

In a world where men are perverting the Gospel in the name of "Religious Unity", let us find the strength to stand fast and preach Christ ALONE!

THE COURSE OF THE GALATIANS (Vv. 6-7) "I marvel that you are turning away so soon..." I think it is safe to say that at least, part of the Galatian Christians were believers (v. 9), but they were being led astray by false teachers; We read in (Acts 18:23-28) that Paul had preached the Gospel to ...read more

I Am...the Way, The Truth, And The Life Series

Contributed by Matthew Stoll on Jan 27, 2007

In our age of religious tolerance Jesus’ supposed intolerant message is still the truth. He is the way, the truth, and the life and the only way to the Father.

During this season before Easter, which we call Lent, we have been looking at who the real Jesus is. Not who other people THINK Jesus is, but what Jesus actually said about himself according to an eye witness, his disciple John. Specifically, these are Jesus’ seven “I am” statements.
