  • Making Jesus Real

    Contributed by Brian Williams on Sep 27, 2023
     | 805 views

    The Love of God was put on display for all the world to see. Those who believed became the personal recipients of that love. As His family we want continue to make the love of Jesus obvious to others, through our words and our actions, we cannot divorce one from the other.

    We took this summer to discuss many different philosophical as well as biblical arguments that point to God’s existence. Yet amongst all the arguments, I believe one of the greatest testimonies for the existence of a personal God is His love (1 John 4:8). Love is at the core of the Christian faith ...read more

  • We Must See Jesus

    Contributed by Clark Tanner on Jan 23, 2001
    based on 241 ratings
     | 5,706 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

    Luke 2:21-38. "Fulfillment of a Promise" INTRODUCTION During the Advent and Christmas Seasons, we have had many messengers and models to encourage and direct us on our walk of faith.

    Malachi 2.10-16 Schizophrenia is apparently a quite frightening illness to watch but to the person suffering from it the world seems perfectly normal.

  • Paul's Sermon At Athens: Culture And Common Ground

    Contributed by Donald Whitchard on Jun 8, 2021
     | 1,347 views

    Paul's sermon before the men of Athens began with a topic familiar to all of them. It was the common bond of religious belief and practice in their respective cultures. Jesus demonstrated it throughout the Gospels. It is a biblical pattern for effective evangelism.

    It has been over forty years since I traveled to India on vacation, away from the business of the McDermott Fabrication Yard in Dubai where I worked as an oil rig sandblaster and painter. I moved there in early 1980 to live with my dad and to grow in maturity of character. I learned the value of ...read more

     | 4,081 views

    One of the greatest hindrances you will encounter in your Christian walk is that of the religious spirit. Religious spirits endeavor to interfere with the free flow of the Holy Spirit in our lives.

    based on 69 ratings
     | 19,306 views

    One prominent religious website said the doctrine of Justification was "controversial". Really? Why would that be?

    OPEN: How many of you have ever read “Fox in Socks”? I’ve read many Dr. Seuss books to my kids, though I’m not sure I’ve ever read this one. But there are many people who love this book. Its uniqueness lies in the fact that it features 2 main characters Mr. Fox and Mr. Knox who converse almost ...read more

  • What God Wants On Sunday Morning

    Contributed by Joseph Smith on Jun 16, 2010
    based on 5 ratings
     | 8,780 views

    We are incurably religious, thinking that if we use the right formulas, we will be acceptable to God. But God wants our personal involvement and our investment in understanding Him.

    Our most persistent sin is that we are religious. Of all the sins that men and women commit, of all the wrongheaded directions we take, of all the wayward wanderings on which we go, none is more persistent than this: that we are religious. As someone has put it, we are incurably religious. ...read more

  • Salvation - A Relationship

    Contributed by Robert Sickler on Apr 24, 2012
    based on 1 rating
     | 5,074 views

    To place our faith in the performance of a salvation ritual is to place our faith in the person leading us to the ritual; but, if we place our faith in a relationship with Jesus Christ we have placed our faith in the author and sustainer of salvation.

    SALVATION – A RELATIONSHIP INTRODUCTION If a person is uncomfortable with the idea that there is no special event or ritual that marks the time and place of their salvation, then they certainly have a great deal of company. In fact, almost all existing denominations and Christian religious ...read more

  • An Appeal Of Love Series

    Contributed by Dennis Davidson on Jul 30, 2009
    based on 35 ratings
     | 17,089 views

    There are many church, synagogue & mosque members today devoted to rituals & rule-keeping. They are living in religious bondage. They need to hear that spiritual freedom is possible only through the grace of God in Jesus Christ.

    GALATIANS 4:8-20 AN APPEAL OF LOVE The conclusion reached in verse 7 is that those who have received the Spirit are now sons and heirs of God. Paul now tells the Galatians they are not acting like heirs of God! So he asks them if they prefer slavery or freedom, legalism or the Spirit? Did ...read more

     | 9,091 views

    The Pharisees were a religious and political party in New Testament times. They were known for insisting that the law of God be observed, as the scribes interpreted it, and for their special commitment to keeping the laws of tithing and ritual purity.

     | 772 views

    Satan imitates a false resurrection, sends someone to act godly, performs fake miracles, and then demands humanity's worship. Why? Because he is so desperate to be accepted that he attempts the things of God to fool humanity.

  • Defilement Comes From Within Series

    Contributed by Donald Whitchard on Mar 22, 2021
     | 3,120 views

    It is not the food you eat or religious observation you practice that enables you to claim that you are right with God. Your attitude, behavior, and response to His commands show whether or not your life is defiled before Him.

    Worship is supposed to come from a grateful heart and mind, focused on how God's mercy and grace has taken us off of the road to hell and by the redemptive work of Jesus Christ on our behalf, placed us on the narrow road leading to eternal life. Our submission to Him as Lord and Savior, ...read more
