When It’s Ok To Break The Rules

Contributed by Kerry Haynes on Aug 25, 2019

Jesus healed on the Sabbath, and used it to make a point: God cares deeply, there's always a critic, and we are to live free from the chains of legalism.

Luke 13:10-17 When It’s OK to Break the Rules Jesus was always getting into trouble over the “blue laws” of his day. Remember blue laws? Stores can’t open before a certain hour on Sunday, or at all? Or stores can’t serve alcohol before a certain time? I grew up in a church-attending household. On ...read more

Samson: The Weakest Strongman (Part 1) Series

Contributed by Brad Beaman on Aug 18, 2022

Yes, Samson was the strongest man in the world. But there was a glaring character flaw. No one could defeat Samson matching strength to strength. They did not have to match his strength because all they needed to do was to exploit his inner weakness.

Ask any Sunday School child who is the strongest man in the Bible. There will be no hesitation. It is Samson. The winner of any modern-day strongman competition would not be able to stand against Samson. He was the GOAT, the greatest of all time. He tore a lion apart with his bare hands. There ...read more

Social Distancing: What Jesus Has To Say About It! Series

Contributed by Dr. Dave Hartson on Aug 20, 2020

Social Distancing may be a new term to me, and it may be a new term to you; but mankind did not need a virus to teach us how to Social Distance. We have been practicing Social Distancing for the longest time.

I looked up the definition, and it defines Social Distancing as the practice of keeping space between yourself and others to reduce the ...read more

On the way to meet his extranged brother Esau, Jacob experienced a strange encounter with a "man," who Jacob identified as God himself.

WRESTLING WITH GOD Please turn to Genesis 32. Having made a covenant of peace with Laban, his nettlesome father-in-law, Jacob traveled southward through the country east of the Jordan River.

Jesus, A King For All.

Contributed by Dr. Jeffrey Dukeman on Nov 27, 2018

At the triumphal entry, Luke emphasizes that Jesus has some similarities with Roman rulers, even while having important differences, in order to help make the point that Jesus is a king for all.

Strength With No Power

Contributed by Caleb Sowers on Dec 29, 2018

Power. The world puts a lot of value into the word. For us power can mean many things; the amount of influence a person has or the amount of physical capability a person possesses. It can mean how much a vehicle can move or haul, or the ability to influence world politics. It can mean many things.

I know a lot of people who are sports fans. Whether you are a fan of football, baseball, hockey, or soccer. Some people are fans of boxing, although I will admit I am more of a fan of UFC then boxing. And for every person who is a fan of a certain sport, they also have favorite teams and players. ...read more

Contributed by Eugene Moore on Jan 2, 2019

On this high and holy day in the christian calendar, I want to preach from the word of God, and share with you some truths about the mission of the Christ.

The more that I read and study scripture, particularly, and specifically the gospels Matthew, Mark, Luke and John; I am reminded that Jesus did not just come to do the ministry of salvation.

Contributed by Otis Mcmillan on Feb 4, 2025

But they wanted a king “the same as all the other nations” (1 Samuel 8:5). So they rejected their true King, the God of heaven and earth. God granted their request and gave them over to their desires, but not without a warning.
