    Contributed by Tim White on May 8, 2011
     | 5,416 views

    The second mark of a leader exemplified in Nehemiah is his/her prayer for their people.

    Chapter Two of Swindol’s Hand Me Another Brick, (his commentary of Nehemiah’s leadership) is entitled “A Leader---From The Knees Up.” This characteristic of leadership is certainly seen in Nehemiah’s ministry. One out of every ten verses in Nehemiah is a reference to prayer. J. Oswald Sander in ...read more

    Who Killed Jesus?

    Contributed by Robert Leroe on Aug 25, 2025
     | 72 views

    Who killed Jesus? Was it Judas, Caiaphas, or the Jews in general? The Apostles Creed says “He was crucified under Pontius Pilate,” no one else. If we’re looking for someone to blame, the buck stops at Rome.

    One cold December morning in Sunday School, a child was busy drawing a picture of the Nativity. He drew 4 people next to a truck getting ready to board an airplane.

     | 4,333 views

    In John 3 Jesus is speaking to Nicodemus, a religious man, about religion yet Jesus doesn't offend Israel's teacher with His superior knowledge. How can we imitate Jesus in this. How can I avoid offending and taking offense?

    I stand before you this morning a condemned man … every bit as guilty as that poor woman caught in the act of adultery. I don’t know whether or not Jesus wrote their sins in the sand but He certainly knows my many sins and I do know that my sins were swept away that day on the cross.

    [Pick up little stone.] Yeah … there’s been a lot of jokes about the risk I’m taking by handing out stones before the sermon. Look at the stone in your hand. Yeah … getting hit by a rock this size could hurt … especially if it hit me in the head or hit me in the eye or something, amen? I guess ...read more

    There is more and more talk about the Spirit in our day, and a shifting of emphasis upon what makes a spiritual leader.

    THE SPIRIT 7. Does God Speak Today? If I told you that God speaks to me, would you be offended, amused, intrigued? Well, does not the Scripture teach that His Spirit is to live in us? Then should it not be assumed that He will speak? You say, He already spoke, through the Bible. Yes, He did, and ...read more
