    Gardening Tips

    Contributed by Alison Bucklin on Apr 28, 2023
     | 1,252 views

    Is doing good things without reference to God any more acceptable than worshiping God without loving your neighbor?

    How many of you are gardeners? What do you plant, vegetables, flowers, herbs? My father liked trees. He planted exotics like deodars and tapped our maple trees for syrup. My mother liked flowers and shrubs. And BOTH liked vegetable gardens. But I never got into it. I like the idea of gardening, you ...read more

    Broken Body & A Borrowed Tomb Series

     | 18,332 views

    In the death of Jesus we see God’s Directing: God’s: 1) The Rich (Mt. 27:57–60), 2) The Relatives (Mt. 27:61), 3) The Religious (Mt. 27:62–66)

    One of the majestic attributes of God is His absolute sovereignty, His supreme rulership and ultimate control over all things in the universe. He has created and He sustains all things that exist, and He ordains and brings to pass all things that happen. Nowhere in Scripture is God’s incredible ...read more

    Responding to God’s antidote for the guilt that comes from living for the flesh, loving the world, and listening to the lies of the devil, will enable you to express true gratitude as you live for Him.

    3. Thoughts In 2 Peter - Number Three - A Listening Discipline - 2 Peter 1:18 Series

    Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Nov 28, 2025
     | 59 views

    How well do you listen? How should Christians listen? This message is about a listening discipline, and we need to discipline ourselves in how to listen. Lots of points from life’s observations are shared here. Allied to listening are attitudes of hearing.

    3. THOUGHTS IN 2 PETER - NUMBER THREE - A LISTENING DISCIPLINE - 2 Peter 1:18 “Didn’t you hear what I said?” “Weren’t you listening!” “Pay attention!” - a favourite of teachers. We hear these expressions often around the home and at school, though not confined just to those places. The ...read more

    We Must See Jesus

    based on 241 ratings
     | 6,359 views

    Only personal, significant contact with our risen Lord brings about true faith and obedience. All else is only ritual, and religious rhetoric. We MUST see Jesus!

    Although it seems in my own experience that the account of the two disciples on the road to Emmaus is primarily used when preaching during the Easter season, I am sure that through the years it has been a favorite passage for many preachers, as well as lay students of the scriptures. This ...read more

    Things Christians Can Know

    based on 23 ratings
     | 4,158 views

    One of the biggest differences between the Christian faith and many other religious belief systems is that it is a faith based on fact, not speculations. Things that we can know, not have to guess about.

    Introduction: One of the big things about the Christian faith that is different from all other faiths, except Judaism, is that it is a faith based on fact. It is a faith based on the evidence of real people, places and events. It is a faith based in and on history, handed down through reliable ...read more

    The Destruction Of Jerusalem (6 Of 6) Series

    based on 60 ratings
     | 7,591 views

    All religious books claim to be the word of God, but prophecy sets the Bible apart as having God’s seal of authentication. This section looks at the destruction of Jerusalem and the prophecies that foretold it.

    The Destruction of Jerusalem (Part 6 of 6) At this point we should lay the historic foundation and take some time to look at the destruction of Jerusalem. After Jesus’ triumphant entry, He looked over Jerusalem and wept. Look at Luke 19 41 Now as He drew near, He saw the city and wept over it, 42 ...read more

    The Five Kernels Of Thankfulness

     | 15,992 views

    Our country cannot continue to exist prosperously financed, abundantly favored and religiously free if we fail to be grateful to our God, thankful for His blessings and respectful to His leadership!

    A little girl asked her mother, “Mommy, why do you cut the ends off the meat before you cook it?” The girl’s mother told her that she thought it added to the flavor by allowing the meat to better absorb the spices, but perhaps she should ask her grandmother since she always did it that way. So ...read more

    The Hero's Power, Position, And Person Series

    based on 5 ratings
     | 5,679 views

    When the religious authorities fail in their attempt to trip up Jesus with the Scriptures they descend to character assassination. They come dangerously close to eternal separation from God. How can that happen?

    No one could deny that Jesus was different than anyone who had ever walked the earth. The words He spoke rang true and reamed His opponents. His actions were unmatched—healing, setting people free from possession and disease. His enemies, the Jewish leaders of the day, tried to trip Him up ...read more

    Jesus enters Jerusalem on the colt to the praises of a throng of followers and under the scrutiny of the religious leaders, but His mind is focused on the souls of the city of Jerusalem, which represented God's chosen nation.

    Read Luke 19:41-48… Setting the stage: v.41-48 detail the conclusion of Jesus’ journey toward Jerusalem toward the destined sacrifice He was sent here to make for the sins of the world. For many days Jesus had been on a resolute journey toward the city of Jerusalem. He had predicted ...read more

    God's Word Or Ours?

    Religious traditions are dangerous. We can easily be satisfied by them. Passified by them so that we go to sleep and do not follow God's call. May God deliver us!

    Matthew 15:1-20 has been a key passage to point out the danger of vain worship by following man made traditions instead of God's word. I have often heard this passage applied to the activities that we do in our church services, but Jesus' application is actually much broader. So just what is a ...read more
