    Contributed by Howard Strickland on Feb 22, 2009
    based on 24 ratings
     | 9,521 views

    The folly of trusting in humans is contrasted with the wisdom of trusting in the Lord. The families of Judah were committed to Baal worship.

    Walking in Abundance or Lack? Text: Jeremiah 17: 5-8 In academic circles a favorite type of question to ask in an exam or an essay starts with the words ‘compare and contrast’. The task is to discuss the differences and similarities between two different ideas or situations, to show where they ...read more

    Jesus knew what He was doing! He always does. He had just finished giving peace to his discipes troubled by an angry demonic storm. And He would not be thwarted in giving peace to some troubled men who were in the grip of demonic influence.

    Part 13 - Matthew 8:23-34 - DOES JESUS SLEEP IN YOUR STORMS TOO? "I got into the boat with the other disciples and we started across the lake. Some Pharisees seemed annoyed and the crowd was disappointed that we were going, but I saw Jonas, a man who had been healed of leprosy placating the crowd ...read more

    Losers Never Win

    Contributed by Craig Benner on May 18, 2011
     | 2,927 views

    You don't have to be a loser. Unfortunately, many choose this route as a way of life. They never really become overcomers. Make the right choices, as hard and sacrificial as they may be. Remember Lot and Lots' wife.

    Central Text---Gen. 13:7-14 Lu 17:28 Likewise also as it was in the days of Lot; they did eat, they drank, they bought, they sold, they planted, they builded; Lu 17:29 But the same day that Lot went out of Sodom it rained fire and brimstone from heaven, and destroyed them all. Lu 17:32 Remember ...read more

    Contributed by Michael Stark on Oct 6, 2013
    based on 1 rating
     | 7,140 views

    The message of Christ and His work on our behalf is a mystery of God. In fact, Paul speaks of this as "the mystery of godliness."

    “Great indeed, we confess, is the mystery of godliness: He was manifested in the flesh, vindicated by the Spirit, seen by angels, proclaimed among the nations, believed on in the world, taken up in glory.” [1] Mysteries are a favourite genre in books, movies and television ...read more

    Doctrinal Drift Series

     | 6,156 views

    We who follow Christ are to exhibit a godly response to doctrinal drift in these later days.

    “The Spirit expressly says that in later times some will depart from the faith by devoting themselves to deceitful spirits and teachings of demons, through the insincerity of liars whose consciences are seared, who forbid marriage and require abstinence from foods that God created to be ...read more

    Apostasy is an ongoing threat to the faithful. It is a process rather than an event.

    “Now the Spirit expressly says that in later times some will depart from the faith by devoting themselves to deceitful spirits and teachings of demons, through the insincerity of liars whose consciences are seared, who forbid marriage and require abstinence from foods that God created to be ...read more

     | 6,097 views

    The responsibility of the pulpit to promote godliness in the Community of Faith is explored

    “If you put these things before the brothers, you will be a good servant of Christ Jesus, being trained in the words of the faith and of the good doctrine that you have followed.” [1] Godliness looms large in the thinking of the Apostle. The term “godliness” occurs fifteen ...read more

    Dealing With The Preacher-Eaters

    based on 4 ratings
     | 6,875 views

    Sons of Diotrephes will arise among the churches. The people of God are responsible to recognise their presence and to expose their evil work.

    “I have written something to the church, but Diotrephes, who likes to put himself first, does not acknowledge our authority. So if I come, I will bring up what he is doing, talking wicked nonsense against us. And not content with that, he refuses to welcome the brothers, and also stops those who ...read more

    How shall the people of God respond to the challenges and threats of contemporary life?

    ESTHER 4:1-17 DANGEROUS SHEEP “When Mordecai learned all that had been done, Mordecai tore his clothes and put on sackcloth and ashes, and went out into the midst of the city, and he cried out with a loud and bitter cry.

     | 5,572 views

    One may either live for the moment, or live in view of eternity. Christ calls us to live for the coming glory of God.

    “There was a rich man who was clothed in purple and fine linen and who feasted sumptuously every day. And at his gate was laid a poor man named Lazarus, covered with sores, who desired to be fed with what fell from the rich man’s table. Moreover, even the dogs came and licked his ...read more

    Paul instructs the elder in broad strokes to exert himself to excel. In these instructions is a pattern for all who pursue the Master if they will honour Him.

    “Fight the good fight of the faith. Take hold of the eternal life to which you were called and about which you made the good confession in the presence of many witnesses.” [1] Six commands are issued in the final statements of this vital missive to a young theologue. ...read more

    The First Person To Die In The Faith Series

    Contributed by Michael Stark on Dec 24, 2011
    based on 1 rating
     | 6,072 views

    Simeon is easily overlooked in the account of Christ’s birth. This should not be, as he was the first person to die in the Faith.

    “There was a man in Jerusalem, whose name was Simeon, and this man was righteous and devout, waiting for the consolation of Israel, and the Holy Spirit was upon him. And it had been revealed to him by the Holy Spirit that he would not see death before he had seen the Lord’s Christ. And he came in ...read more

    “Concerning the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ and our being gathered together to him, we ask you, brothers, not to be quickly shaken in mind or alarmed, either by a spirit or a spoken word, or a letter seeming to be from us, to the effect that the day of the Lord has come.

    Can A Christian Be Lost Again?

    Contributed by Michael Stark on Jan 7, 2012
     | 4,282 views

    Eternal life means unending life; this is what Christ offers. Some, however, are convinced that His gift is probationary. The life He offers is meant to encourage us, and not to intimidate us.

    “My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me. I give them eternal life, and they will never perish, and no one will snatch them out of my hand. My Father, who has given them to me, is greater than all, and no one is able to snatch them out of the Father’s hand. I and the Father ...read more
