That We Might Be Like Him

Contributed by J. Yeargin on Mar 7, 2017

A dozen men “WHO MIGHT BE WITH HIM”. I’m sure Jesus knew these men and their past… Jesus knew all of the mistakes they had each made with their lives. Nevertheless Jesus wanted them to follow Him...regardless of their shortcomings.

THAT WE MIGHT BE LIKE HIM A lot can be learned about someone by talking to the friends who are closest to them. There are people that I am close to that know me very well, and there are others who know me only by name, but they don’t really know me. The people who know me best know my ...read more

Christ Lives In Me

Contributed by Geoffrey Foot on Aug 20, 2018

The type of person we see in Jesus or indeed what Jesus means to us is very variable, unique and very personal - Jesus, not just a Leader, Teacher, Physician, not even as Saviour, but John describes Jesus as food. I AM the bread of life.

CHRIST LIVES IN ME. JOHN 6:51-58. Jesus said, ‘I AM the Bread of Life’ and this saying of Jesus has profound implications for a Christian, a follower of Jesus Christ. In fact the type of person we see in Jesus or indeed what Jesus means to us is very variable, unique and very personal All of ...read more

The Word Of Faith

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Mar 6, 2021

The dying thief on the cross next to Jesus made one request to be remembered, and Jesus responded to that by promising him that he would be joining Jesus that very day in paradise. Look to Jesus and your future is always bright.

Not all heroes die a noble death. Jacques de Lalaing, the flower of knighthood, who was considered the pattern of chivalry for all of Europe, and who was called the last hero of romance, died an early death in 1453. It was not of a lover’s broken heart, or in a tournament with his flag flying. He ...read more

Bid Him Come And Die Series

Contributed by Donald Whitchard on Apr 6, 2021

Following Jesus is an all or nothing proposal, and far too many so-called "believers" are riding the fence, playing a game, or trying to look devout when their character shows otherwise. Either follow and obey Him, or be honest in your unbelief and leave.

In today's social set-up, especially here in America, the prevailing philosophy seems to be, "I want it, and I want it NOW!" Young people are crying out for this at a pace that is bordering on the ridiculous, petty, and unrealistic. I do not see even the slightest awareness in most ...read more

Funeral - Sudden Heart Attack

Contributed by Perry Greene on Sep 16, 2021

My friend, Jon had many health issues and died suddenly of a heart attack. Sudden heart attack is a real pandemic in America.

Most don’t have one, but when I asked Linda she immediately said, “Joshua 1:9.” Joshua 1:9 (ESV) 9 Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be ...read more

Go and Tell that Fox: An Exposition of Luke 13:31-35 When we read Jesus’ words, we realize that He was a master of word pictures.

Barging In

Contributed by Michael Koplitz on Dec 10, 2024

A woman of a low class barges into a Pharisee's home to plead for forgiveness from Jesus. He grants her the request. It shows that the common Jews desired the Messiah!
