    Rahab's Scarlet Robe Of Redemption Series

    Contributed by Manny Salva Cruz on Sep 6, 2015
    based on 4 ratings
     | 15,828 views

    This study is about the life of Rahab, the harlot who is an example of the grace of God at work. In spite of her past, she was rewarded beyond measure because she had faith to believe. In the same manner, God can save us regardless of our sins.

    RAHAB'S SCARLET CORD OF REDEMPTION SCRIPTURE READING: Joshua 2:15-21 15 So she let them down by a rope through the window, for the house she lived in was part of the city wall. 16 She said to them, “Go to the hills so the pursuers will not find you.

    The Good, The Bad, & The Snuggly

    Contributed by Jonathan Meyer on Nov 1, 2016
    based on 4 ratings
     | 12,587 views

    Jesus points to our salvation by the Father's grace alone, not by our works--first through a parable, and then in action as He welcomes children (even infants).

    The Word of God that engages us today is our Gospel reading from Luke 18. And in our Gospel reading, Jesus challenges the presuppositions of those around Him. Our Gospel reading is really broken down into two sections—and quite often you’ll get a sermon on one or the other, as if ...read more

    Fighting Temptation (The Impala Christian)

    Contributed by Kayode Omotoso on May 18, 2016
     | 4,108 views

    Fighting temptation is foolish. The Bible does not enjoin any to resist temptation but the devil while we abstain from every appearance of evil.

    Sometimes in the month, I saw a documentary involving the animals, jackal and impala. Jackal with an average weight of 10kg is a carnivore belonging to the same family as wolf and dog while impala is an African antelope having two long horns and an average weight of 60kg. Both of them live in the ...read more

     | 5,273 views

    In the Church of The Nazarene there is a wing of missions called Extreme Nazarenes and we are thankful for their service in the Kingdom of God, but, are they really Extreme or just what Jesus calls us all to be?

     | 4,820 views

    Christmas is a time of joy, at least it should be. But sadly, many will have a Bah, Humbug attitude. A heart two sizes too small for this season. You don’t have to be green & have bad teeth to mess up Christmas, and you don’t have to live in Whoville t

    It’s true, one of my favorite Christmas shows is the Dr. Seuss classic, ‘How the Grinch Stole Christmas!’ (1966). The wiry villain plans to dress up like Santa and sneak into houses to steal stockings and presents and trees… that is, until he meets little Cindy Lou Who from ...read more
