The Danger Of Isolation?

Contributed by Wade Martin Hughes, Sr on Apr 25, 2018

God's work is seldom accomplished by individuals. God's plan is team work. Our enemy will use the ANACONDA PLAN to divide and conquer. Beware, unity has power.

Learning To Listen

Contributed by Jim Keegan on Dec 21, 2020

Modern society is very functionally oriented, and that tendency has carried over into the way we pray. The Kingdom of God, however, is far more relational, and we would do well to learn that way of being in God’s presence.

Listening Prayer Luke 1:5-23, 76-79 [Read Luke 1:5-23] It was the middle of the morning at the Temple in Jerusalem. A group of about fifty priests were gathered to cast lots to determine who would have the honor of entering into the Most Holy Place to offer incense at the altar. The burning of ...read more

Look! Who Is Coming To Dinner? John 12, Part 1

Contributed by Jay Yousling on Dec 29, 2020

People have preconceived notions of public figures. People have immediate, often polarizing opinions, about the person. Jesus was like this. He was a well know but little understood national figure. When you see Jesus, who do you see?

“Fear not, daughter of Zion. Behold, your King comes, sitting on a colt of a donkey.” John 12:15 1. Dinner Anyone? There is a ‘getting acquainted’ question that is asked sometimes. You may have asked it or answered it before. The question is, “If you could, what famous person would you like to ...read more

A Gracious Call To A Social Outcast Series

Contributed by Donald Whitchard on Jan 25, 2021

So many people today feel like they exist more than they live, thinking that everything in this world is against them and that no one cares. Matthew, the tax collector, is just such a case. It turned out that Jesus had a plan for him, and for you as well.

Jesus' compassion for people is evident as we progress through this Gospel. This display of Divine love is recorded by Matthew and Luke as well. The Lord Jesus is not the exclusive property of any group or man- made religious system. Nobody can mold Him into one particular behavior to suit ...read more

Jumping To Conclusions Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Apr 1, 2021

The friends of Job explained life's sufferings, and specifically Job's sufferings, as very simple and obvious. They said there is no mystery here at all. It is clear as a bell that suffering is God's judgment on the sinner. Job is suffering, therefore, Job is a sinner.

There is a poem that I have enjoyed for many years, but I could never see how it could be used in a sermon, until I began to study the friends of Job. I want to share it with you, for it both describes them, and gives us insight into why they could be so wrong when they were so often right. It is ...read more

Old Dogs And New Tricks Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Apr 2, 2021

Shallowness always leads to folly, but depth, when it is directed by wisdom, will lead to a life pleasing to God and appealing to man. Very seldom is a truly wise man proud. He is humbled because he knows so well how little he really knows.

Proverbs by their very nature are often paradoxical, and they often seem to contradict one another. They only do so, however, if we take them as absolutes which are true in every case. If we take them as stating a truth of a segment of reality, and not all of reality, we will see there are ...read more

Don't Trample On God's Grace: An Overview Of The Book Of Nahum

Contributed by Mark A. Barber on Feb 25, 2021

God had graciously spared Nineveh in Jonah's day. But their repentance did not last. Josiah started a reformation but it did not last either. Judgment awaits those who trample upon the grace of God.

Don’t Trample on God’s Grace: An Overview of the Book of Nahum Introduction We continue our study in the Minor Prophets today by taking a look at the Book of Nahum.
