Plundering The Enemies Camp

Contributed by Gregory Smith on Oct 12, 2009

Most Christians don’t realize how much the enemy has stolen. Even if they do, they often don’t know how to get it back. David "plundered" the Philistines camp after his victory over Goliath. We can do the same because Jesus has defeated our enemy.

Introduction: I have been talking about foundations for the entire year. Today I am going to share with you another foundational truth about warfare. When we receive Jesus as our Lord and Savior, it is much like enlisting in the army. You become a solider whether you want to admit it or not. ...read more

A Great Cloud Of Witnesses: Faith-Living Vs. Me Centered Life Series

Contributed by Justin Steckbauer on Aug 25, 2024

How to walk "by faith" in a me centered world

Faith is a mystery to the world. It seems crazy. It seems stupid. But I’ll tell ya what’s stupid. I’ll ya what’s dumb. What’s dumb is trying to control my own life and manipulating events to make things I want happen. It just doesn’t work. And even if it does work, I’m not happy. I get exactly ...read more

Lessons From Jeremiah – Part 17 – The Task To Find Just One Righteous Person. Sorrow To Come On Judah Series

Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Apr 17, 2024

Jerusalem was filled with wicked people and judgment was coming. The people ignored God but were overtaken by sorrow in the Babylonian invasion. This world is soon to experience the wrath of God because of increasing evil and unrepentant sin. Not one is righteous, NOT EVEN ONE.

True Communion

Contributed by Greg Allen on Apr 16, 2006

I honestly don’t know if Jesus is glorified through crackers and grape juice. And I wonder what he must think when we come together, go through our little religious ritual and leave with the same me-first mentality that we came in with.

Today I want to look at the different viewpoints of the last supper from the 4 gospels. Traditionally only 3 of the gospels are credited with recognizing the last supper, Matthew, Mark and Luke. Let’s look at those: Matthew 26:20-30 20When it was evening, Jesus sat down at the table with the ...read more

Tempation 101 Series

Contributed by Winson Butler on Aug 9, 2005

Always take a good look at what you’re about to eat. It’s not so important to know what it is, but it’s critical to know what it was. When it comes to tempation we can follow the same advice. Let’s examine the subject together!

Introduction It is inevitable. Tempatation that is. In other words, one is being TEMPTED, overcoming TEMPTATION or heading towards TEMPTATION. It’s a part of the ChristiAn life and walk! Every born-again believer ought to be a student of the subject. The more one is aware and forearmed the ...read more

The Twelve Men Who Shaped The World , Part 3 - The Apostle Andrew Series

Contributed by Warren Lamb on Jul 8, 2006

Jesus drew from the same raw materials that He draws from today when He calls men and women to be His disciples. In this series, we are looking at each of the Twelve as in-depth as we can, based upon what we can know and discern from the Scripture.

Once again we turn to the 10th Chapter of the Gospel of Matthew. We focused on the Apostle Peter last time, and we learned quite a bit about how Jesus can use the raw material of a person who is willing to be used. What do you remember about the way the disciples are grouped and paired in the ...read more

Portrait Of A Father

Contributed by Chuck Warnock on Jun 26, 2007

Today is Father’s Day and I want us to look for a few moments at the portrait of a father that Jesus paints for us in Matthew’s gospel. What Jesus is doing here is Matthew’s gospel is the same thing that he has done so many times before – challenging the

The Barren Fig Tree Series

Contributed by Eric Carey-Holt on Feb 16, 2003

Jesus was responding to news about a calamity Luke 13:1-5. He was told of how Pilate (the Roman governor) had killed some Galileans (Jews from Galilee, the same region Jesus was from), and had anticipated the thinking of those who brought Him this news.

THE BARREN FIG TREE—Luke 13:6-9 INTROUDUTION As we were making our way through the parables of Jesus as recorded in Matthew’s gospel, we noticed several that were directed toward the nation of Israel in particular. "The Two Sons", this speaks of the rejection of John the Baptist- Mt 21:28-32. "The ...read more

A Simple Path Series

Contributed by Chris Surber on Aug 23, 2007

Mother Teresa spent her life living out her faith, serving others – may it be said of us that we did the same. When we serve others we plant seeds of love in their hearts. When we serve others the fruit of love grows in our hearts.

A Simple Path, I Corinthians 16:14 Introduction “We have all been created for greater things – to love and to be loved. Love is love, to love a person without any conditions, without any expectations. Works of love are works of peace and purity. Works of love are always a means of becoming closer ...read more

You're Invited To A Party!

Contributed by Tom Fuller on Oct 8, 2002

God is throwing a huge party and you’re invited. The only way you get in is by special invitation and by putting on wedding clothes. At the same time the world demands your loyalty and is having a party of it’s own - so which party do you want to go to?

As a reporter I often got to go places that others didn’t. Sometimes it was to places others wouldn’t want to go – like behind police lines or maybe to Iceland. But there were also times when you felt privileged – like being able to meet a president or former president. I remember when President ...read more

Distractions Series

Contributed by Tom Fuller on Sep 20, 2009

Did you know that this age seeks to distract you from becoming like the Lord and serving in His story? Plenty and want are two sides of the same coin and they seek to keep us from freely loving and being used by God. Find out how to beat them at their own

So far in our study of the book of Matthew we have seen Jesus proclaim that only by realizing our lack or rightness and God’s provision of life can we have hope and a future. We saw that God intends for us to be light and salt—communicating His message to a dark and bland world. We saw that God is ...read more
