    When We Are Called To Those Who Are Hostile

    Contributed by Johnny Wilson on Feb 15, 2009
    based on 1 rating
     | 5,674 views

    After being abused and accused by his fellow Jews, Jeremiah’s counsel was sought and ignored. Modern believers need to take note.

    If I hadn’t had a similar, though less lethal, experience, I probably wouldn’t relate to that scene in “The Godfather” where the old Mafioso tells the young boss how the traitor would try to kill him after his death. With me, we were in a nice restaurant in San Francisco (my executive editor and I) ...read more

    Jesus’ signs demand faith even when he provides no miracle.

    Scripture Introduction I love the idea of magic. And I’m fascinated by science fiction – I think because it seems to bring magic into real life. When the situation is desperate – Captain Kirk is being choked by a Klingon while on a planet in the final convulsions before its cataclysmic explosion ...read more

    Contributed by Justin Steckbauer on Apr 23, 2024
     | 2,150 views

    I think God gave us the caterpillar and the butterfly to tell us about ourselves. To tell us that we need a transformation to become all we’re meant to be.

    “Now the Lord is the Spirit, and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom. 18 But we all, with unveiled faces, looking as in a mirror at the glory of the Lord, are being transformed into the same image from glory to glory, just as from the Lord, the Spirit.” -2nd Cor 3:17-18 We as ...read more

    The Necessary Process Series

    Contributed by Richard Tow on Oct 17, 2022
     | 2,122 views

    The process for Israel's salvation is explained in Zechariah 13:7-9. The substitutionary death the Good Shepherd is essential for our salvation as well. This is a powerful text for preaching Christ!

    Intro In our previous studies we have seen the glorious victory God gives Israel at the Battle of Armageddon. We have seen the national conversion that occurs at the end of the Tribulation period. Wonderful things will happen “on that day.”i But there was a price to pay for that to happen. What we ...read more

    A Welcome Change In Government Series

    Contributed by Reuben Bredenhof on May 26, 2022
     | 2,419 views

    Christ is Lord even over those who seem to have all the influence today. They’re not running things, He is. They’re not shaping history, He is. None can override him, for Christ holds the keys. He will be forever secure on his throne!

    A change in government is always a big deal: there are new cabinet members to choose, new policies to begin implementing, new office spaces to move into. The old is quickly shuffled to one side, and the new is put into the spotlight. In our text today, we see something similar. Isaiah 22 describes ...read more

    Contributed by D Marion Clark on Oct 30, 2012
     | 4,176 views

    Divorce is a difficult subject to deal with, not merely because the issue is complex, but because divorce is so widespread and painful. We must consider it honestly before the Lord and examine our hearts in light of it.

    Introduction Divorce is a difficult subject to deal with, not merely because the issue is complex, but because divorce is so widespread and painful.

     | 7,872 views

    So many people, even Christians, are confused on what is right and wrong because of the current climate of the flood of lies being spread by all news sources. We must hold to the Holy Spirit and God's Word to illuminate us with the truth of God.
