    A great way to begin a new year is to remember who we are in Christ as children of the Father and to recommit ourselves to living a Holy Spirit filled life.

    2.1.11 INTRO It's 2011 and we all have to get used to writing 2011 instead of 2010 -- whether on a cheque or letter. It's easy to forget. POINT It doesn't matter if we forget to do some things, but other memories are more important -- particularly remembering who we are. STORY It's a common ...read more

    Whether we proclaim Jesus as God, Savior, a prophet sent from heaven, or just a small time preacher from the outskirts of Jerusalem, it doesn't change what the Creator of All Life sent him to be or who Jesus, the Nazareth knew he was.

    Simply, if I did you wrong and reparations were required of me since I did the wrong; would it be fair, just, or even right for you to spend your own funds to pay my reparations? More importantly, does it really matter who I think you are? If I decide to view you as something or someone other than ...read more

    An examination of the difficult phrase "abandoning the faith" and its proper context of legalism, not salvation.

    THE MAIN QUESTION: Does “abandon[ing] the faith” mean losing your salvation? - 1 Timothy 4:1. - This is one of those passages where the wording immediately lends itself to thinking about eternal security. What does it mean that “some will abandon the faith”? Does it mean ...read more

    If we could measure love the chart would tell us so much, because in reality, love is the key to building the kingdom. Paul is telling the Philippian believers to abound in Christian love. (Philippians 1:9)

Wouldn't it be cool if we had a way to post abounding love?We have increased by seventy percent in love over last week. If we could measure love the chart would ...read more

    Suppose I’ve bee born again as a Christian. This means I have believed that part of the gospel (God’s words) that told me that the sinless Jesus died in my place for my past sins and then rose again a victor over that death.

    1 Every Christian must learn to be led by the Spirit; what does it mean? First; why is being filled with and led by the Holy Spirit so crucial to every Christian? Rom 8:14 For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, these are sons of God. Suppose I’ve bee born again as a Christian. This ...read more

    When I was ten, that meant that Jesus went up into the clouds and literally sat at the right hand of the Father, on a throne in the clouds. But no more.

    Ascension Day One commonality that men and women my age have in the U.S., no matter what religion we were raised in, is the story of Jesus.

    The Pharisees Confront Jesus: What Does It Mean To Be A Hypocrite? An Issue Of The Heart Series

    Contributed by Justin Steckbauer on Jul 10, 2023

    The Pharisees today are often regarded as hypocrites, mean, nasty, people who killed Jesus, and it’s true that they plotted against Jesus. But in general these were not bad people. These were religious leaders trying to help the people live according to God’s ways.

    A lot of the scriptures that we look at, I feel like we get to understand another piece of the puzzle about who Jesus really is. It’s like we dive into a moment in history and we get to look over the shoulder of Jesus and see what he does, and why he does it, and we’re amazed. We want to live like ...read more
