Contributed by Jim Butcher on Feb 22, 2022

All three of these groups dealt with the same problem: hypocrisy. How do we combat that?

Preach The Word -- Which One? 1 Of 2

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Mar 7, 2022

Paul’s exhortation to Timothy was, “Preach the Word...” This same exhortation is given to pastors today.

However, if they are going to preach the Word of God today, they have to make a judgment as to which one of the many Bibles available is actually God’s Word. If all the translations, versions, revisions, and paraphrases taught the same thing, there would be no controversy, BUT THEY DO NOT! ...read more

A Conversation With A Rich Young Man

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Mar 15, 2022

Have you noticed that most of our conversations are with people that are in the same age bracket we are in?

There is an obvious reason for that, we generally talk to people our own age because we feel that we have something in common with them. For example, I can listen to young people talk and they are talking about singers, athletes and entertainers I never heard of. So naturally, if they want to ...read more

Esau's Egregious Errors

Contributed by David Nolte on Aug 29, 2022

When we want instant gratification, we commit the same kind of errors as did Esau.

Jacob and Esau were twins but they were as different as day and night. 1. Jacob was more the domestic Homeboy who enjoyed the quieter things while Esau was the hunter out in the woods bringing game for the table. 2. Jacob was smooth of skin, Esau had a hairy body. 3. Jacob was suave, Esau ...read more

God Does Not Change Series

Contributed by Doug Fannon on Jun 14, 2021

The God of creation is the same God we have today. All Scripture references are from the NASB.

It is easy to say in the Sunday School environment that God is unchanging – the 50 cent theological word for that is “immutability.” But the fact that we live in an ever changing world, where quite literally everything is changing around us, whether it be knowledge, the culture, our attitudes, our ...read more

Love Adores Extravagantly Youth Sermon

Contributed by Youth Sermons on Sep 5, 2023

Jesus loved extravagantly, and we can follow His example by loving others in the same way.

Imagine you've got the most expensive thing you own. Maybe it's your phone, your gaming console, or those brand-new sneakers. Now, imagine giving it away to someone you really care about. Sounds crazy, right? That's exactly what Mary did. Jesus was chilling at a dinner party when Mary, a woman ...read more

Kingdom Keys - Malachi Series

Contributed by Robert Butler on Oct 6, 2023

One of the great enemies of God is apathy. A lack of interest in God is the same as rejection without declaration.

So maybe you’ve heard it said, ‘read your bible’ so you tried and failed. Our hope as leaders is that all of us will pick up God’s word and come to understand the true nature of God. After all, the bible is God’s Word curated over centuries detailing His nature, His will, the meaning of life and ...read more

Triple Threat

Contributed by Alison Bucklin on Aug 22, 2023

We have exactly the same weapons against temptation that Jesus used against Satan in the wilderness.

How many of you remember your first day at school, or your first day at a new job? You usually get some kind of orientation, don’t you. At that new job, maybe you spent the morning in the human resources signing benefits papers and getting company policies explained to you, maybe you get led ...read more
