"What If No One Told The Story?"

Contributed by David Henderson on Dec 29, 2014

One was taken with church members asking then which character in the Christmas story they most identified with. Mary? Joseph? The shepherds? The wise men? Most people who answered the question said ...read more

Contributed by Chad Bolfa on Oct 1, 2010

Temptation comes in many forms; we are tempted not to tell the truth, to take something that does not belong to us, to take advantage of someone, to gossip, to over eat, to hold a grudge, or to withhold from the Lord that which rightfully belongs to him.

How to Handle Temptation James 1:13-18 Introduction Do you struggle with temptation? I heard of someone who said, “I don’t struggle with temptation, I just give in to it!” That is not the answer! But the fact is, there isn’t a day that goes by that we are not tempted in ...read more

The Good News Is The Bad News Was Wrong

Contributed by Pastor/Author: Terry Sisney on Oct 12, 2009

Lot's Day Vs. Our Day

Contributed by Thilini Perera on Jan 3, 2021

“IT WAS THE SAME IN THE DAYS OF LOT” said Jesus in Luke chapter 17:28 teaching invaluable lessons about the latter days, popularly known as the End-times. Jesus masterfully points to the parallel conditions between the two eras, LOT’S DAY and OUR DAY.

When we dissect the BELOW text we can identify two noticeable eras paralleled in the text along with three people categories belonging to each era, namely the 1. SODOMITES, 2. LOT’S FAMILY and 3. LOT’S WIFE. It’s worth looking at the conduct and the choices made by people of each category, as they ...read more
