    based on 4 ratings
     | 14,570 views

    Abraham was commanded to sacrifice Isaac. What resulted was a foreshadow of a greater sacrifice to come.

    THE SACRIFICE There is a trial that is probably the hardest of all to go through in life. That trial is watching your child suffer and wonder if they will live or die. To suffer yourself is one thing, but to watch your own child hover between life and death is unbearable. Some of you know this ...read more

    The disciples responded immediately to Jesus’ invitation. They left everything to follow. And heaven was their final destination.

    “How to Respond When Jesus Calls” 3/25/2007 Jesus was walking along the shore of the lake. I’m told it was much like Walker Lake, near Hawthorne, Nevada, where I once pastured. Kind of a treeless lake in the desert. But I imagine it could have been something like the north shore of Lake ...read more

    When Jesus talks about us denying ourselves, taking up a cross & following Him – what does He mean? What does the Bible teach about "cross-bearing?"

    MELVIN M. NEWLAND, MINISTER RIDGE CHAPEL, KANSAS, OK (Revised: 2011) This morning I want us to look at a passage of Scripture found in Mark 8:34-35. "Then Jesus called the crowd to Him along with His disciples & said: ‘If anyone would come after ...read more

    The Greatest Power Is Often Simple Patience Series

    based on 6 ratings
     | 6,536 views

    Life outside of Christ, Paul says. It’s angry life. Its confrontational politics and caustic talk shows. It’s accusatory e-mails that appear to have been sent from a flamethrower. As God’s chosen ones, holy and beloved, clothe yourselves with patience.

    Opening illustration: This past week I read about a first-grade teacher who was having a difficult day. It had rained that entire day and the children couldn’t go out for recess, so they got more and more restless and hyperactive as the day wore on. The teacher couldn’t wait for the bell to ring ...read more

    You haven’t completed the race until you’ve passed the baton.

    A number of years ago I heard about a survey of centenarians (people 100 years or older). The study asked these folks if they had any regrets about their lives.

    Can You Be A Christian Without Being Religious? Series

    based on 10 ratings
     | 12,844 views

    Christianity differs from all religions in that it’s not about us finding God, but about us responding to God who has been reaching out to us.

    Can you be a Christian without being religious? It almost sounds like a contradiction in terms. However, according to Webster, a religion is a system of faith and worship... Christianity is certainly that! According to Webster, a religion is the service to and the adoration of God expressed in ...read more

    In ever age and in every way biblical faith in Jesus Christ has come under attack.

    The former talk show host Phil Donahue wrote in his best selling autobiography, “If God the Father is so all-loving, why didn’t He come down and go to Calvary!

    To live is Christ; to die is gain. This is the great creed of the Christian who wants to live a joyful life whether in this life or the next.

    THE MEANING OF LIFE…AND DEATH I emailed a friend recently who is an adventurer. I told him that I look back on his exploits with awe and sometimes I live vicariously through his ventures.

    Why would God put His Spirit inside us a sealof our salvation? He could have used anything ot "mark" us as His. Why do it this way?
