    Time To Engage: "Distant Discipleship”

    Contributed by Dennis Lee on Feb 2, 2025

     | 847 views

    Last time we met I introduced what I called being a secret disciple. Today, I’d like to introduce another type of disciple, one seen in the life of Peter, which I am calling, being a distant disciple. A distant disciple is one who follows Jesus, but at a distance.

    Time to Engage: The Journey to Discipleship “Distant Discipleship” Luke 22:54-62 Watch on YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NnO8Qw29I6w As you probably know, we’re on the third word in the vision I believe God gave to us last year.

    Persevere Even If It Gets Hard

    Contributed by Richard Tow on Dec 8, 2020
     | 11,175 views

    Believers are encouraged to not lose heart and give up, even in the face of trials and difficulties. To continue in the faith we should continue doing good toward others, continue in prayer, and continue in the word.

    I take as our subject today, the call in Scripture to persevere—to steadfastly continue in the faith no matter what happens.. Some of you have walked with the Lord for many years. You have fought some battles. You have not done it perfectly, but you have continued to follow the Lord. You have ...read more

    It Is Time To Repair All The Broken Altars In Your Life

    I continue messages on our trip to Israel. Last time we looked at Jeremiah who suffered for preaching the Word. Today the Hebrews crossed the Jordan and erected an altar in Gilgal about 3 miles from Jericho. Elijah did the same at Mt. Carmel where we visited. What makes an altar important?

    IT IS TIME TO REPAIR ALL BROKEN ALTARS 1. Joshua 4:1 And it came to pass, when all the people were clean passed over Jordan, that the Lord spake unto Joshua, saying, 2 Take you twelve men out of the people, out of every tribe a man, 3 And command ye them, saying, Take you hence out of the midst of ...read more

    One Saturday morning a mother awoke to the delightful smell of waffles and the sound of our two small boys in the kitchen with her husband.

    We as Christians are ordained unto the work of the Lord. And there is never a time to retire from His service.

    Quotes: You must be the change you wish to see in the world. Energy flows where attention goes. When you change the way you look at things, the things you look at change. Find yourself within you, never in someone else. Act the way you want to be and you will be the way you act. Look for what you ...read more

     | 2,928 views

    Paul has some thought provoking and compelling words in Romans six. Words that are designed to cut to the heart of the listener. Words that are well chosen to solicit a quick response from the heart of the Christian and the backslider.

    Title: Once, for all! Scripture: Romans 6:9-14 9 For we know that since Christ was raised from the dead, he cannot die again; death no longer has mastery over him. 10 The death he died, he died to sin once for all; but the life he lives, he lives to God. 11 In the same way, count yourselves ...read more

    After Camping, We Should Shut Up About The Rapture, Right?

    Contributed by Jim Bennett on May 22, 2011

    A May 22, 2011 response to the false teachings of Harold Camping with regard to May 21, 2011 explaining that Christians need to declare the truths of Christ's return more enthusiastically than ever.

    Because of the intense scrutiny brought upon the person and people of Jesus Christ by a false prophecy, I believe the Spirit of God has led me to give address the truth of Jesus Christ’s promised return for His bride. Jesus Christ didn’t return yesterday. There was no rapture. Jesus ...read more

    True Repentance Series

    Contributed by Brad Beaman on Mar 15, 2022
     | 4,156 views

    “Come, let us return to the Lord.” (Hosea 6:1) Jesus went to the house of many tax collectors and sinners. The Pharisees saw this and asked why Jesus eats with tax collectors and sinners. In that context Jesus Quotes Hosea 6:6 (found in Matthew 9:13).

    The story of the prodigal son gives us a great picture of repentance. The prodigal has messed up big time and ended up in a terrible situation, eating pig slop just to survive. That situation made him turn back to his father. But you don’t have to wind up on skid row to need repentance. A Christian ...read more
