Today I want to talk about man’s oldest problem – temptation; it goes back all the way to Adam. • We all face it.

How To Drive Your Mother Crazy

Contributed by Joseph Smith on May 3, 2009

Know your own self, do what is right whether you like it or not, and go beyond the norm. It will drive your mother crazy and will call from your Father, "Well done".

Our relationship with our mothers is at once the most wonderful and yet the most difficult of all our relationships. We love them deeply, and we get so upset with them we almost hate them. Few of us are neutral about our mothers; we hold them close and then push them away forcefully. We get ...read more

Why 2,000 Years Ago Series

Contributed by Doug Fannon on Dec 6, 2018

Why did Jesus Come when He did. Why not before? Why not later? We will see that God had just the right time in history, like none other, for Jesus to come.

Why 2 thousand years ago? Think about it, the land of Israel was occupied by the Romans. A pagan nation ruled over Israel and the Jewish people were in a state of upheaval, and the priestly system was corrupt. If Jesus came as a Ruler, or as a King, as a warrior Messiah, to drive out the Romans, ...read more

The Anatomy Of Hope Series

Contributed by Scott Maze on Jun 4, 2021

Christ saw pain as an opportunity for greater pleasure. Christ saw enduring pain for doing what is right as a door for His greatest delight – God Himself. We are to arm ourselves with this same mindset.

Psychologists tell us people want to be known. Some people want to be known for their work as an actor, a singer, or other want to be known as a culinary artist. Others just want to be known. Some people take the need to be known to the extreme. A Jamaican man set a distance record of 23.11 miles ...read more

Jesus Uncut

Contributed by Scott Maze on Jun 24, 2021

A preacher is very much like a traffic engineer. And the preachers of Jesus’ day were routing the traffic right off a washed-out bridge with no warning. For real love always stands against deception.

While Jesus was speaking, a Pharisee asked him to dine with him, so he went in and reclined at table. The Pharisee was astonished to see that he did not first wash before dinner. And the Lord said to him, “Now you Pharisees cleanse the outside of the cup and of the dish, but inside you are full of ...read more

Return To The Lord

Contributed by Stephen Aram on Jun 20, 2019

We are right to emphasize that God loves us, but we too easily forget that because he loves us he wants us to be the best we can be and calls us to a deep repentance.

Return to the Lord Isaiah 1:12-20 Ash Wednesday, February 22, 2012 Rev. Stephen Aram We live in a time when the church really emphasizes the mercy and grace of God.

In Word, In Power And In The Holy Spirit Series

Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Aug 21, 2021

If we are, in the words of one of the saints, going to be a "spectacle of saints," what better time to be alive than now, when the Church is encircled by enemies from both the left and the right.

Monday of 21st week in Course This is a great time to be alive and to be a Christian. Now it’s not a very convenient time to be a Christian. In fact, with threats of terror coming from every part of the world, it’s not even a very convenient time to be alive. But greatness does not very often ...read more

Regaining Our Purpose Series

Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on May 5, 2021

If a church has lost its purpose, then that congregation will be deprived of direction and momentum. Understanding our purpose will enable us to stay on the right path, in order to remain faithful and fruitful in our kingdom efforts.

I wish to begin by sharing a verse from the book of Proverbs. Proverbs 29:18 wisely cautions, “Where there is no vision, the people perish” (KJV). The American Standard Version says it like this: “Where there is no vision, the people cast off restraint.” Vision, or rather purpose, establishes ...read more

My Advice Sir, Get Godly Advice Sir! Series

Kingdom Of Heaven (Part 5) Series

Contributed by Ajai Prakash on Aug 31, 2015

The quickest path for you to obtain peace inside yourself, peace with God and display Christ-like love is for you to confess and forsake. Then, go to that brother or sister in Christ and make things right.

Opening illustration: When I was about nine or ten, my grandmother a very godly woman, would give spiritual advice to keep the grandchildren on the straight and narrow. I remember one thing she said very clearly. “Stay away from sin, because you don’t want to commit the unforgivable ...read more

Spirit And Truth Series

Contributed by Jimmy Seibert on Feb 23, 2015

We become what we behold. As we behold Jesus and His glory, we need to equally revere the Scriptures and the Holy Spirit. Both are worthy, both are right, and both are vitally needed.
