    Receiving And Rejecting The Light

    Contributed by Donald Whitchard on Dec 17, 2021
    based on 1 rating
     | 2,290 views

    John tells us in the prologue of his Gospel that the Light of Jesus Christ shines in the darkness that represents the sins of humanity. Some turn to the Light and others reject it, missing out on the blessings of salvation and eternal life.

    In the prologue to his Gospel, John presents the Lord Jesus Christ as "the Light" that shines in darkness, and that it was John the Baptist who bore witness of His Light. The Light of Christ is offered to everyone, yet not all wanted the Light of Christ to shine upon them, and they ...read more

    Keep The Light Burning Youth Sermon

    based on 4 ratings
     | 838 views

    It's important to keep our light shining for Christ, even when we face challenges. This can be achieved through community, stepping out of our comfort zone, and allowing the Holy Spirit to convict us.

    First off, we can't do life alone. We need our squad, our friends, our community. Remember when the Holy Spirit showed up at Pentecost? All the believers were hanging out together, and boom! The Holy Spirit showed up big time. When we've got a crew that loves us and loves God, people notice. When ...read more

     | 9,420 views

    THIRD SUNDAY IN LENT - It’s been said that, “With God, our lives are an open book.” Sometimes, however, we may find ourselves in the middle of the book and still asking, “Whose bright idea was this anyway? It sure wasn’t mine!”

    WHOSE IDEA WAS THIS? Isaiah 55:1-9; 54:10 John 14:1-7 Luke 1:36-37; 13:1-9 Ps 63:1-8 1 Jn. 5:4 Rom. 8:28; 12:2 1 Cor. 2:9; 10:1-13 It’s been said that, “With God, our lives are an open book.” Sometimes, however, we may find ourselves in the middle of the book and ...read more

     | 1,367 views

    Sardis was a large and beautiful city in it’s time, with powerful defenses that made the residents over-confident in their ability to defend themselves from invading armies.

    "In an address I lately heard, the speaker said that the blessings of the higher Christian life were often like the objects exposed in a shop window, one could see them clearly and yet could not reach them.

    There is no limit to God, and there is no reason for Him to break any promise that He has made to you. He is there rain or shine, in the good times and the bad. He is ready to help you in those promises you have made to Him

    Martha, Martha, You're Not So Bad

    based on 4 ratings
     | 21,088 views

    Often overshadowed by her sister Mary, Martha is often marginalized as an undesirable example of for disciples. However, when examined through the lens of scripture and not popular Christian books, Martha shines through as an example for all godly women.

    When I survey the women of the New Testament, I find some remarkable women of faith, Mary the mother of Jesus (Luke 1:26-38) is the first to come to mind. But, there are others, such as Joanna, Susanna and Mary Magalene (Luke 8:1-3). Later on, I read about Priscilla who, along with her husband, ...read more

    Prophecy Of Christ

    Contributed by Ned Bartlebaugh on Dec 14, 2009

     | 19,287 views

    A look at three prophetic passages that Jesus Christ would be born in Bethlehem, that he would be a great light shining in the darkness, that he would be "God with us" and that he would be Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace, Wonderful Counselor.

    When you look at the life of Jesus, He fulfills all 322 of the prophecies in the Old Testament about the coming of the Messiah. The odds of just 8 of the major prophecies being fulfilled by one person is 1 in 10 to the 17th power, or 1,000,000,000,000,000,000. And this is only 8 of them! To help ...read more

     | 6,109 views

    In these times of lockdown, some have begun to imagine that the Great Tribulation just began. Rather than focusing on such idle speculation, the Word of God would encourage us to shine brightly in difficult times to turn many to righteousness.
