Calculate The Cost

Contributed by Michael Deutsch on Jan 30, 2019

When we embrace a relationship with Jesus, we end up calculating the cost of following Him. I use a current political story to show not everything is as we think it is.

Calculate the Cost Luke 14:25-33 February 3, 2019 I’m going to start out being a little political. Most of you will recall that there was an incident in Washington DC, in which some students from a Catholic school were chastised, and that’s being gentle for how they treated a Native American who ...read more

A Gracious Call To A Social Outcast (Mark 2:13-17) Series

Contributed by Donald Whitchard on Jan 25, 2021

So many people today feel like they exist more than they live, thinking that everything in this world is against them and that no one cares. Matthew, the tax collector, is just such a case. It turned out that Jesus had a plan for him, and for you as well.

Jesus' compassion for people is evident as we progress through this Gospel. This display of Divine love is recorded by Matthew and Luke as well. The Lord Jesus is not the exclusive property of any group or man- made religious system. Nobody can mold Him into one particular behavior to suit ...read more

Be Led By Jesus

Contributed by Richard Papafio on Nov 26, 2017

The blind man sees through the eyes of the one leading him. But the one who is not blind sees through His own eyes. Therefore the blind man leans on the understanding of he who leads him but the one who sees leans on his own understanding.

Cry Out Loud

Contributed by Donato Solano on Jan 18, 2006

God is always waiting for us to cry unto Him when we are in trouble. Crying out to Him is not a sign of weakness but of strength. It is a sign of strength of faith in the Lord.

INTRODUCTION A popular female song goes like this, “Don’t cry out loud!” I don’t personally know the whole song but it is seemingly trying to suppress us from letting others know that we are in trouble and asking somebody else’s help. It is different from what God in His word is saying to us. He ...read more
