     | 3,986 views

    The question from John's disciples about fasting reveals a serious disconnect to what Jesus is trying to accomplish.

    WHY DON'T THEY FAST? The question from John’s disciples shows that they missed the point that Jesus just made. - Matthew 9:13-14. - In v. 14, John’s disciples come and ask about why Jesus’ disciples aren’t fasting. In other gospels, it gives us more information that the Pharisees were in the ...read more

    Poverty Is A Result Of Laziness (Part 1 Of Rich Man Poor Man In Proverbs) Series

    Contributed by Henry Trocino Jr. on Mar 27, 2017
    based on 1 rating
     | 7,350 views

    The book of Proverbs is not a book of finances. Rather, Proverbs is about wealth and want in light of the social reality of Proverbs. It makes us rethink the tribulations of poverty and, yes, even the troubles of prosperity (Prov. 15:16).

    "A little sleep, a little slumber, a little folding of the hands to rest, and poverty will come upon you like a robber, and want like an armed man" (Prov. 6:10-11). The context of this sub-section is laziness. Solomon tells the lazy person to look to the ant (Prov. 6:6). The ant has no boss ...read more

    The Great Escape Series

    Contributed by Grant Adams on Mar 30, 2020
     | 3,495 views

    There are only two ways we will ever escape this life: death or the rapture. For many, the word death, is a cold, fearful word. According to the bible, death is our friend, only a means to transport us from one life to another.

    1. Death is not a secret thing that no one knows about. We know it is coming. We just don’t know when. a. Ecclesiastes 9:5; Hebrews 9:27 b. Job 38:17; Psalm 9:13 2. There is no way to stop death when it knocks. Ecclesiastes 8:8 3. Death is not to be a sad or unhappy experience. Psalm 116:15; Psalm ...read more

    Death From Christians Perspective Series

     | 3,240 views

    Some deaths people treat as a “tragic end”, but for some deaths, people say “well-earned rest”. Our judgments are not true because those are based on outward known deeds. Death reveals mysteries.

    Message for Memorial Day – Theme: DEATH in Christian Perspective Text: 1 Corinthians 15:56 The Diagnosis A woman accompanied her husband to visit a doctor.

    Death is not the end; when Christ’s trumpet sounds, God’s love and power will open every grave and restore life.

    A passerby, unwilling to let the rhyme have the last word, pulled out a black marker and added: > To follow you, I’m not content, until I know just where you went.

    Christ turned death from final sentence to sacred sleep; those who die in Him will awaken when death itself has died.

    Opening Story – Everybody’s an Expert Have you noticed that everybody’s an expert on heaven until you ask for directions?

    As humans we grow tired and require a nap; at least I do in the afternoon. Does God grow sleepy and require a daily nap in the afternoon? If we take the days of the week literally as with the creation, does God sleep every seventh day?

    In the beginning God made the heavens and the earth. After creating everything, God rested. Does that mean God went to sleep?
