The Villain Series

Contributed by Roshelle Brenneise on Aug 23, 2024

It is important for us to understand the role The Villain plays in the story. He is not a Halloween caricature - a guy in red pajamas carrying a pitchfork. He is the very worst of enemies and life can be very confusing if we don’t take into account that there is a Villain in the story.

August 24, 2024 The Prologue concluded last week by telling us that Adam and Eve were naked, yet not ashamed. How long did this beautiful, peaceful, perfect situation last? We don’t know. God did not see fit to tell us the time span between the end of the Prologue and the beginning of the Big ...read more

Peter: An Unfaithful And A Forgiven Man

Contributed by Benjamin Utomo on Mar 4, 2025

Peter was a prominent Apostle who had a very close relationship with Jesus. He promised to be faithful to Jesus, even willing to die with Him. But then, Peter denied Jesus three times. How could he do that?

Let’s read Mark 14:66-72. I don't know how you feel when you just read the story of Peter's denial of Jesus. While preparing for this sermon, I felt sad, surprised, and disappointed in Peter. Why is that? Two weeks ago, we discussed how the relationship between a rabbi and his students was ...read more

Life Is A Beach

Contributed by David Dunn on Sep 23, 2025

Jesus calls every disciple to daily self-denial and Spirit-empowered cross-bearing that ends not in loss but in resurrection life.

(Losing to Gain) Part 1 – The Comfortable Illusion It sounds so inviting: Life is a beach. The phrase promises calm tides, soft sand, a life where the hardest choice is whether to nap or swim. We crave that ease. Sometimes we even remake God in that image—faith as a sunny getaway where problems ...read more

Saved By Grace!

Contributed by Mitchell Skelton on Jun 10, 2003

The 3 R's Series

Contributed by Keith Tankersley on Mar 31, 2009

In a busy world, where do we put God in the priorities? This is the first in a series of "seeking first" & prioritizing our lives.

The 3 R’s Matthew 6:33 Matthew started this verse with a conjunction (joins words or groups of words within a sentence)“but.” I believe it is inserted here and a central focus on how we can live what He gave to us on what is popularly known as “the sermon on the mount.” Sounds like a classroom ...read more
