Woes Upon The Privileged

Contributed by John Lowe on Jul 2, 2012

Today, we are told that humankind is getting better, and that we are also better. But that is not correct, since in the past, there were times when all men knew about God, and most men worshiped Him. That was true for generations after Adam left the Gard

The Easiest Yoke We Can Carry

Contributed by Craig Condon on Nov 9, 2015

As we come together to worship every week, we admit our hunger for God. God sees our emptiness and feeds us the choicest food, the flesh and blood of the one who invites us today to take his yoke upon us and learn from him for he is meek and humble.

Have you ever noticed that there are always some people who can never be satisfied or happy with anything?

The Sovereignty Of God And Human Responsibility

Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on May 18, 2014

Does God Make Good All Bad Life Experiences? A Deep Exegesis Of Romans 8:28.

Contributed by Dr. Craig Nelson on Nov 19, 2019

It seems very clear from both the Bible and life itself that everything does not work together for good just because a person loves God. Many evil things happen to those who love God.

A Generation Of Spoiled Children

Contributed by Mark Aarssen on Jun 19, 2018

As a church body of believers separated to God we have rejected God’s call to repentance collectively just as Israel as a nation has rejected Jesus as Messiah. We have gotten comfortable with our sin. So much so we don’t even call it sin anymore.

Some of you may be dealing with this as part of your daily life and others may have to go back to your babysitting ...read more

What Makes Jesus' Yoke Light? (Matthew 11:1-30) Series

Contributed by Garrett Tyson on Feb 7, 2022

Jesus' expectations are high (Matthew 5-7). So how can he say his yoke is a light burden? Jesus' yoke is not optional, and not secondary. You come to Jesus, in part, by taking on his yoke.

What makes Jesus' yoke light? (Matthew 11:1-30) We were doing family devotions the other night, and I was so proud of two of them, and found their insights so helpful, that I thought I'd sidetrack for a week and just make a record of this for myself. And the best way I know to do that, ...read more

A Touch Of Faith

Contributed by Anitha Jabastion on Jun 19, 2020

The woman with the flow of blood received her outstanding miracle not just because of her touch but because of her touch accompanied with faith. Your miracle depends on your measure of faith. What is your level of faith today?

Come Unto Me: An Exposition Of Matthew 11:16-30

Contributed by Mark A. Barber on Jun 27, 2020

Jesus' invitation to come to Him has an "or else" component to it.

Come Unto Me: An Exposition of Matthew 11:16-30 The Gospel lectionary text selection for what is called Proper 9, seems at first to be quite odd. The selections are Matthew 11:16-20 and 11:25-30, leaving out what is between. The first selection talks about the people rejecting the message of both ...read more
