Support

Contributed by Lou Nicholes on Jan 25, 2005

In chapter nine Paul deals with those who invoke the principle of Christian liberty. He points out that there are many things that he is free to do but which he abstains from doing for the sake of the Church. He is well aware of Christian freedom, but equ

THOUGHTS ABOUT THE PASSAGE: In the summer of 1986, two ships collided in the Black Sea off the coast of Russia. Hundreds of passengers died as they were hurled into the icy waters below.

Contrast

Contributed by Lou Nicholes on Dec 10, 2004

If you want to know the heart of the Bible, and the central truth about world history from God’s point of view, you only need to know two people. This section of Scripture shows a contrast between Adam and Christ.

THOUGHTS ABOUT THE PASSAGE: Several years ago Billy Graham preached in St. Petersburg, Russia. During the crusade a very brilliant architect, an atheist, came to hear him. Night after night he listened to the preaching of the gospel. He didn’t make a decision during the crusade. As he thought ...read more

Digging Ditches

Contributed by John Gaston on Feb 26, 2018

By presumption, 3 Kings left God out, then had to backtrack to God for help. God's message: you can't fight spiritual warfare until you have repented of sin, indifference, disobedience, selfishness, and neglect. Then the anointing will flow!

DIGGING DITCHES 2 Kings 3:5-24 INTRODUCTION A. HUMOR: PLAYPEN 1. A young mother complained to her friend about the difficulties of child rearing, especially the lack of peace and constant pestering by her small children. 2.

"They Shall Know That I Am The Lord.”

Contributed by Lee Houston on Aug 29, 2024

A House Divided Against Itself Cannot Survive

Contributed by Lee Houston on Apr 8, 2024

This morning, I was reading Mark 3:24-25, “A house divided against itself cannot stand.” I did not remember the context in which he said it. I found it in a Collected Works of Abraham Lincoln. I thought about Lincoln’s realization. It seems to me that we are again a divided nation.

A House Divided: an Interesting Talk This morning, I was reading Mark 3:24-25, “A house divided against itself cannot stand.” I remembered history and Abraham Lincoln quoting that.

Fields Of The Fatherless

Contributed by Tom Davis on Oct 1, 2007

Ministry to the poor, the orphan, and the widow is about joining the work of God in his favorite field. Meaning and satisfaction in life don’t come from striving, it comes from loving. The gospel message is a message of love. Loving God means loving peop

Something is Missing God is passionate about orphans The scriptures speak of a God who cares for the alien, orphan, and widow. When you look, these passages (like Psalm 68:5 and James 1:27) come jumping off the page. God speaks about orphans and widows as a unique and special group of people. ...read more

The sermon was originally preached by Rev. Steven Simala Grant of Laurier Heights Baptist Church (Edmonton, Alberta, Canada); I have added a point and tweaked others to make it work in my parish.

The Warning Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Mar 31, 2021

The Bible makes it clear that men are responsible for how they respond to warnings. If they choose to ignore them and are unprepared, their blood will be on their own head.

On a Friday afternoon, May 31, 1889 a man by the name of Daniel Peyton came galloping down the road in Johnstown, Penn. Sparks were flying from the hoofs of his big bay horse. He was shouting for all he was worth that the damn had broken. Some believed his warning and fled to the hills. Others ...read more

"He Showed Himself Alive …” 2 Of 2

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Apr 6, 2022

As I stated earlier, when a preacher preaches on the resurrection of Christ he is preaching on the most important topic of the Bible.

That statement was the truth when I said it and it is the truth now! I vehemently want to state again, it is not one of the most important, but THE MOST IMPORTANT topic of the Bible. As we focus in on this most important topic again today, with all the Easter traditions we have in this country ...read more

The Heroine Of God Series

Contributed by Jeff Strite on Nov 30, 2014

Deborah was one of the great "she-roes" of God. What was it about her that made her a heroine in the book of Judges and what is it about her faith that got God's attention?

Someone once said that “It is important for us to recognize and celebrate our heroes and she-roes!" - Maya Angelou To that person's mind the term “she-roes” was a unique and eye-catching way to talk about heroines. And I like that word. In the Bible there are many heroes, but ...read more
