The Lord Can Use Even Me

Contributed by Eloy Gonzalez on Feb 15, 2003

Epiphany 6: What great sacrifice have we thought we’d need to endure for the faith? We may be inclined to climb mountains... but no need, Christ already climbed Golgatha.

Universalism: A History Series

Contributed by Bob Faulkner on Oct 28, 2015

Where did this pernicious doctrine of universalism originate?

INTRODUCTION 1. When my brother called me vicious. Was I wrong to tell my brother that universalism is a false teaching? He called my comments "vicious."

Contributed by Charles Cunningham on Mar 11, 2020

Since many folks in our culture appear to be consumed by hatred - much of it aimed at, but some of it by, Christians - we would be wise to review our Lord's confrontation with and transformation of Paul.

The Lords Supper: A Spiritual Banquet Series

Contributed by Ed Vasicek on Mar 7, 2016

The Lord’s Supper: A Spiritual Banquet (Mark 14:22-25) 1. Mark’s account is by far the shortest account of the Lord’s Supper. Even Paul’s account in I Corinthians 11 is longer.

Character Study Of Jeroboam Series

Contributed by Rev. Samuel Arimoro on Mar 22, 2025

Jeroboam had the opportunity to establish a great dynasty, but he chose fear over faith, idolatry over righteousness, and political survival over spiritual truth. His life is a cautionary tale of how leadership can be misused when one does not trust in God.

“What is Righteousness?” Matthew 1:18-25 What is the first image that pops into your head when you hear the word “righteous?” Do you think of some fire and brimstone preacher with a red face who points a finger at sinners and declares them guilty in the eyes of an angry god?

Blessed Are The Persecuted Series

Contributed by David Swanger on Feb 27, 2013

Called to live a beatitude kind of life, the hard reality is anyone who lives out the first seven beatitudes is guaranteed at some point to experience the eighth.

Blessed are those who are persecuted for righteousness’ sake, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. Jesus ends the beatitudes by saying “Blessed are those persecuted, reviled, and spoken against.” Would anyone care to get in “the blessed line?” Most of us prefer ...read more

Wacky Wall Walkers
