Dialogue With Job

Contributed by Vicki Williamson on Feb 28, 2022

Today we are going to go back in time and journey together with a man called Job. His name means hated or persecuted.

Job lived in a time when his culture believed that prosperity on earth was connected to a person’s goodness and consequently suffering was connected to an individual’s sin or offensive thoughts, words and behaviour. As a result of these beliefs, false perceptions were formed about the Creator of ...read more

The Life Of A Wicked King (King Manasseh)

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Mar 3, 2022

There are many wicked characters mentioned in the Bible. King Manasseh has to rank as one of the most wicked men who ever lived on this earth.

He is certainly considered to be the most wicked king of Judah. His grandfather, Ahaz, was a wicked king, but his father, King Hezekiah is considered to be the most godly king of Judah. It's hard to imagine that someone as righteous as Hezekiah could have a son as evil as Manasseh. This ...read more

She Is Cut To Pieces!

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Dec 9, 2021

Often we hear disturbing things as we listen to the evening news. Sometimes the news we hear is so shocking that we are temporarily mesmerized by what we hear.

Such is the case in our text. I doubt that anywhere in the scriptures we could read a more disturbing passage than we have in this text. Let me show you what I mean. First, we read about... I. THE CONCUBINE WHAT IS A CONCUBINE? She was a secondary wife. In the Bible, most tribal chiefs, ...read more

The Book Of Revelation (Revelation 7)

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Apr 22, 2022

The seventh chapter of Revelation we have a pause between the sixth chapter and the eight chapter.

The reason we have this interlude in chapter 7 is because chapter 6 closed with this question Revelation 6:17 For the great day of his wrath is come; and who shall be able to stand? In Chapter 7 we have this interlude answering that question. We are told the only ones who can survive the wrath of ...read more

The Subject Of Sin Series

Contributed by Jerry Cosper on Oct 11, 2022

Jesus promised this woman the living water of spiritual rebirth. But before she could receive the living water of spiritual rebirth the matter of sin had to be discussed.

Last time we got into the story of the Samaritan woman at the well in John 4: 1-14. We found that the woman was intrigued when Jesus asked her to give Him a drink. Jesus then offered this woman the Living Water. But we also said that there were some matters that she had to straighten out before ...read more

Have We Had The Sin Test? Series

Contributed by Chris Swanson on Nov 3, 2022

Scripture firmly censures sin and leaves no justifiable reason for it. Sin generally upsets our walk with God.

This passage of Scripture firmly censures sin and leaves no justifiable reason for it. While this warning notice is frequently deciphered as a litmus test for salvation, John's particular crowd is really Christian believers. Salvation is not a good reason for someone to commit a transgression, ...read more

The Wages Of Wickedness

Contributed by Wilson Oshorakpor on Jan 24, 2022

The earth is covered with wickedness. People conceive and hatch evil without fear of repercussions. God hates wickedness and punishes wicked people for their acts of evil.

TEXT: Psalms 7:14-16 (NLT) "The wicked conceive evil; they are pregnant with trouble and give birth to lies.They dig a deep pit to trap others, then fall into it themselves.The trouble they make for others backfires on them. The violence they plan falls on their own heads." PREVALENCE ...read more

Sin Leading Unto Death

Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Feb 9, 2022

The Bible tells us that there is a sin that leads unto death - one single sin - and it might not be what we expect. In fact, this one disqualifying sin will exclude us from ever going to heaven and receiving eternal life. So, what is this sin?

If there was a crime worthy of death, what would it be? Would it be murder, rape, spouse abuse, adultery, theft, gambling, or perhaps lying? Many of us would say that murder is worthy of the death penalty; and if any of us had a child that were raped, we would probably believe the person who ...read more

Sixteenth Sunday In Ordinary Time- Weeds And Wheat

Contributed by Paul Andrew on Jun 27, 2023
