Glut2ony Series

Contributed by Mark Eberly on Apr 22, 2008

We continue the seven deadly sins by looking at gluttony. This is a serious issue with God and in our culture. It is not limited to food either. We’ll also look at the remedy and get some tools to help us overcome this character defect.

Se7en Glut2ony Galatians 5:19-21 April 20, 2008 How much is too much? How much is enough? Gluttony says, “Enough is never enough.” What is gluttony? How would you define?

Be Vigilant Series

Contributed by Christian Cheong on Mar 8, 2015

Be vigilant, because we are all vulnerable. Don't compromise, because we will lose out.

[Read Josh 7:1-6, 10-15, 19-21] This is one chapter most people would like to omit from their books. No one likes to talk about failure or defeat, about their greed and sin. • Up to this point, Israel had been experiencing victories, one after another, from chapter one to six. • The ...read more

The Value Of Death Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Mar 12, 2021

By rough estimate I counted 750 references to death and dying in my concordance of the Bible. If we are to live by every word that proceeds from the mouth of God, then no Christian can be honest with God's word and ignore the subject of death.

There are two subjects that men have tended to be shy about all through history. These two subjects have been considered off limits as topics of public conversation. It was taboo to speak of them openly. The two subjects are, sex and death. The paradox of this is, there are no two more ...read more

Part 1: The Seriousness Of Disobeying God Series

Contributed by Marlou Javier on Jul 13, 2021

The book shows a repeated four step cycle that takes place seven times in the book. That is, 1. REBELLION. Falling into sin, idolatry, and apostasy. 2. RETRIBUTION. God’s punishment. 3. REPENTANCE. Israel cries for help. 4. RESCUE. God delivers via a judge.

The book of Judges starts with “After the death of Joshua…” - There were 15 judges in all. Eli and Samuel were the last. THE WORD “JUDGE.” - “judge," means "bringer of justice." - These "judges" were like a cross-mixture between a mayor, a marshal, a prophet, and a ...read more

Jesus, The Giant Slayer

Contributed by Wilson Oshorakpor on Oct 20, 2025

Judging Others

Contributed by Sheila Crowe on Jun 10, 2009

There are appropriate and inappropriate times and ways to judge others. Christ though instructs his disciples to pay more attention to their own faults than to the judging the faults of others.

GUILTY AS SIN the headline read just a few years ago. The banks in New Jersey had been robbed systematically, one after the other. What made the robber stand out was his politeness.
