    Contributed by James Chandler on Jun 9, 2019
     | 3,003 views

    Joy is something to be lived out in the life of a Christian. This message challenges Christians to develop the character in their life that will produce the spiritual fruit of joy, using the very familiar, yet simple, recipe of Jesus, Others, Yourself.

    based on 1 rating
     | 7,853 views

    Peter, like all of us, had commitment issues. He was the leader of the disciples but he denied Christ three times. He was impulsive. He cut off the ear of Malchus. But still he followed Jesus. There is hope for all of us.

    “Commitment Issues” John 18:15-18; 25-27 All of us have at least one. All of us have at least one sound; one noise that really annoys us. For some it is the sound of the dentist drilling in your mouth, for others it may be the sound of screeching tires on pavement or perhaps when kids used to rub ...read more

     | 582 views

    Why are Christians afraid to talk about their blessings from Jesus Christ? Peter did in this narrative. BUT when he received the Holy Spirit he went out and proclaimed the Gospel. We have the Holy Spirit and should do the same as he did.

  • Liars Or Living Letters? (1994)

    Contributed by John Williams Iii on Oct 20, 2022
     | 703 views

    Christian speech involves kindness, purity and truth as the three elements of godly speech for Christians. Take away any of those three and you are in danger of being a liar when the Bible makes it clear that we are to be living letters for the sake of the Gospel of Jesus Christ.
