     | 16,098 views

    Peter told the crowd at Pentecost: "Save Yourself from this crooked generation." But there's a few problems with that statement. Do you know what those problems are, and what the Bible says about those objections?

    OPEN: In a third-grade class, the teacher asked Johnnie, “Is the world round?” “No, ma’am,” was the reply. “It isn’t?” exclaimed the teacher. “Then I suppose it’s flat?” “No, ma’am.” “Well, honey, if the world isn’t round and it’s not flat… then what is it?” Johnnie smiled and replied: “My dad says ...read more

    Jesus said we should seek first the Kingdom of God. What is that Kingdom and how do I go about making it a priority in my life?

    OPEN: Back in 1999 Eddie Stankey died at the age of 83. Now you might ask – who is Eddie Stankey? (I'm glad you asked). According to Time magazine - Eddie Stankey “was a pugnacious, pennant-winning 2nd baseman.” He battled his way through 11 seasons for the champion Brooklyn ...read more

    Measure Upon Measure – Judgment And Condemnation – The Restoration Of God - Part 15 (Section 1) Series

    Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Jul 27, 2025
     | 159 views

    (Revised) Adam and Eve had no concept, then, of what a curse would be in reality; what labour pains would be in childbirth; or what hard work and toil would involve in practice. They were condemned. Jesus was condemned for us and now – justification and pardon.

    MEASURE UPON MEASURE – JUDGMENT and CONDEMNATION – THE RESTORATION OF GOD - Part 15 (Section 1) SPECIAL NOTE: The post before this one (Part 14) is an overall coverage of all Chapter 6 – the Judgement leading to Condemnation.

    Why would Jesus heal a man on the Sabbath and then tell the man (in violation of the Sabbath rules of the Pharisees) to pick up his mat and walk?

    OPEN: There’s a story I read once of 3 umpires who were talking about the feeling of power they had on the baseball field. As they talked about what gave them this sense of empowerment, the 1st umpire said – “I call ‘em as I see ‘em.” The 2nd smiled and said, “That ain’t nothing. I call ‘em as ...read more

    The Fear Of God - The Missing Foundation In Modern Christianity Series

     | 3,918 views

    In this day of "fluff and icing", "feel good", "me-centered" beliefs, sermons, and teachings, the church in this present age has, for all practical purposes, abandoned the call for holiness and separation from the world.

    We who call ourselves followers of Jesus Christ in these last days have, for all practical purposes, allowed the world to tell us what to think and say when it comes to the authority of the Scriptures, the person and work of Jesus, God's nature, and the coming judgment upon this wicked and ...read more

    Grace is THE blueprint for God's church, and without it you do NOT have a church.. But what is so important about grace and how could we miss having it in our church?

    OPEN: In the state of Indiana, if you’re going to build a house, or an office building, or a church building, the first thing you’ve gotta have is… a blueprint. If you don’t have a blueprint, they won’t let you build. Now you might ask – why do they call it a ...read more

    Jesus said He would build His church. What we read in Acts 4 is how He intended to do it. What do we read there that helps us understand our part in Christ's construction crew?

    There’s the true story of a southern church that had been stressing the importance of witnessing to people. One particularly slow young man in the congregation took the idea to heart, but he wasn’t quite sure how to do it. Then, that Sunday, a skeptic visited the church one Sunday, and the boy ...read more

    THE POWER TO HEAL John 5:1-17 Holistic health is a relatively new field of health practice. Not only do the practitioners stress physical health but also emotional well being.

    Jesus Christ: The Messiah, Not A Meal Ticket Series

    Contributed by Donald Whitchard on Mar 14, 2021
     | 4,697 views

    When Jesus fed the five thousand, as recorded in all four gospels, He demonstrated what He taught about God being the Provider of our needs (Matthew 6:25-34). Most of the crowd, however, wanted food, not faith.

    The Lord Jesus never taught anything about the nature and character of God the Father that He Himself did not demonstrate or model before either His disciples or the people who followed and listened to Him. When we first read of this miracle, mentioned in all four gospels, we see the Divine ...read more

    Why Is The Kingdom Open To The ‘least Of These’? Series

    Contributed by Jim Butcher on Jan 20, 2026
     | 206 views

    We are familiar with Jesus talking about "the least of these," but why are they a target of the Kingdom? This parable gives us insight into that question.

    AN INTERESTING QUESTION: How did we get to the place where “the least of these” is such a focus of the Kingdom? - Luke 14:12-15. - You are probably tired of hearing me repeat that important interpretation principle: context is key. - Most of you fully know what I mean but for anyone visiting, let ...read more
