Offense Of The Cross

Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Feb 18, 2022

Romans 1:16 says the gospel is the power of God to salvation for everyone who believes. Power is something that is very invasive, and more than likely power will offend people. By design, the gospel contains a necessary offense.

In Romans 1:16 the apostle Paul said, “For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ, for it is the power of God to salvation for everyone who believes.” How many of us can actually declare, “I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ?” How many of us truly believe that the gospel is “the power of ...read more

The Mount Of Olives – The Priority Of The Great Commission (12/12) Series

Contributed by Eduardo (Eddie) Fernandes on Oct 12, 2020

The urgent task and maximum priority of the Church is the fulfillment of our Lord’s final instruction. The Way of the Cross does not end at the crucifixion or with the resurrection. It ends 50 days after Passover with the Great Commission. We bleed evangelism.

Four Special Blessings In Heaven

Contributed by David Nolte on Nov 6, 2020

Heaven, a blessing in itself, is filled with blessings beyond measure, but here are 4 special blessings.

We all prefer receiving blessings more than we enjoy being cursed. At least those among us who are not masochists who take pleasure in being hurt or punished. That holds especially true when we refer to how God works in our lives. I have never yet sought the Lord’s curse, but constantly request ...read more

Deliberate Church Series

Contributed by Scott Maze on Jun 4, 2021

One law professor said that without lying and bragging, half the pickup lines in bars across the country wouldn’t exist. Churches are deliberately places where bragging is non-existent (about ourselves) and where grace is paramount.

The Race Set Before Us

Contributed by Sam Mccormick on Jun 16, 2021

The fact that we are alive testifies that we have a race to run, and that it requires endurance. Such races often stem from extreme misfortune. Some suffer from health conditions, or conditions of their own making. In any case, everyone has a race set before them.
