    Contributed by Tom Fuller on May 19, 2008
    based on 1 rating
     | 3,193 views

    The reality of the resurrection dawned slowly on those involved. Each was missing a crucial piece of the story. How does Jesus put the story of His new life together for you?

    In broadcasting or film making there are several types of ways of getting from one scene to another. Two of the most common are a cut and a fade. In a cut one scene is suddenly replaced with another. In a fade one scene fades out to black and is then slowly replaced with another that fades back up ...read more

     | 13,104 views

    A study of David's pains expressed in Psalm 55 and Dr. Stephens Ten Hidden Emotions to help us deal with our pain in everyday life.

    Pain is a part of life that every person endures. The bigger question is: How do you handle your pain? Are you the kind that stuffs it down deep? Or do you wear it on your chest as a badge for all to see? David was a man who dealt with a lot of pain in his life. He was the youngest of seven ...read more

    Breaking The Power Of Household Wickedness

    based on 4 ratings
     | 104,779 views

    Household enemies are more dangerous because you are usually less cautious with them. You usually have no problem dealing with known enemies. But you lower your guards at home because you believe you are in the midst of people who love and care for you.

    BREAKING THE POWER OF HOUSEHOLD WICKEDNESS Study Texts: Daniel 6: 1 – 5, Micah 7:5-8, Mat 10:36 - Household enemies range from a wicked husband or wife to a greedy step-mother, an envious brother, an uncle or aunty who does not want your mother or father’s children to do better than ...read more

    Don't let pride blinds you to the need of God and the needs of others. Be humble and faithful. We need God's grace and mercy. As we are led by God, let us do the will of God and be instruments of blessings for others.

    Obadiah reveals God’s stern words to Edom, a nation South of Judah. • The Edomites were the descendants of Esau, the brother of Jacob. Esau and Jacob are the twin sons of Isaac. • Remember, Jacob cheated his brother for the father’s blessing? The two brothers were in ...read more

    based on 5 ratings
     | 9,137 views

    Peace is something that we long for but seems so elusive. How can we find lasting peace in the midst of a world full of conflict.

    I read an article the other day that suggested that 95% of recorded history includes stories of war and/or national violence. That statistic is staggering isn’t it? A quick glance at national and international news would indicate this truth. The world seems to be in constant conflict! ...read more

    Even within the churc we fall prey to the temptation to look after ourselves. Too often it is about what we get over what we give.

     | 4,816 views

    The human mind is self-rationalizing and self-deceptive. Without a guide, we have no idea what is right and good. God's Word offers that guide but it's more than just reading a guidebook and determining to do better. We need to come to grips with the brok

    Today we are going look at just three verses. Normally these verses might be couched in terms of “this is really bad stuff—this is sin—don’t do it!” While that is true, I want to handle these verses a little differently. Firstly, remember that these words are written ...read more

    How Do I React To Sin? Series

    Contributed by Tom Fuller on Nov 28, 2011
    based on 4 ratings
     | 3,549 views

    There are two seemingly automatic reactions to seeing sin in the life of someone else. One is to avoid them. The other is to judge. In Galatians 6 we begin to see a third alternative. It's harder, but much more loving and effective.

    The main theme of Galatians is about whether legalism, in the form of the Jewish law, is required for a Christian. Paul’s answer is an emphatic “no!” Legalism, in general, is superimposing an external set of rules or expectations on yourself or others—even Biblical rules or ...read more

     | 5,236 views

    God's will for each individual is to say yes to Jesus. How does that play out though. God's primary will for everyone is for each individual to konw Him. Read on to find out how that is practically lived out.

    Intro: Many of us as believers can take a test and answer yes to questions like, did Jesus die for your sins, did he rise from the dead, is Jesus coming back to earth?
