Abraham, David And Justification

Contributed by Melvin Shelton on Nov 5, 2007

There was a man said to many of his friends one time that he knew he would go to heaven when he died. Now I believe it is very possible to know if you are going to heaven after this life but not in the way he said he was going. He said that he knew that h

Daily Light Series

Contributed by Rev. Dr. Andrew B Natarajan on Nov 30, 2020

We are in darkness. We don’t have any clue on what a day may bring forth in our lives (Proverbs 27:1). Now, we have entered into another Advent. The Christmas tide has begun in our hearts. Let us look for Daily Light in the Word of God.

The Next Level: Patience

Contributed by Wade Martin Hughes, Sr on Dec 19, 2020

Seems many have developed a negative attitude about patience. I want patience right now! One of God's greatest tools of building faith is tested by learning and teaching patience. Can you hear God's call to the NEXT LEVEL? Give the gift of patience.

Shake It Off!

Contributed by Larry Grant on Jan 8, 2022

The people of Nazareth rejected Jesus and tried to kill Him, but the Bible says that He passed through their midst! Now, a year later He returns to the very place He was so cruelly rejected. He wants to give His family and neighbors another chance to receive Him and His message of Salvation.

Mark 6:2-11 (NKJV) "Shake It Off!" Our text finds Jesus returning to Nazareth. Our Lord’s return to His hometown does not go the way one might expect it to. Jesus has been going around the countryside preaching, teaching, healing the sick, casting out demons, raising the dead and ...read more

16) Lord Teach Us To Pray! Series

Contributed by Brandon Max on Jan 17, 2022

“Lord, teach us to Pray” – the disciples said. They had all doubtless seen Jesus pray. They had heard Jesus pray. So they knew that Prayer was important. And this is what led one of the disciples to prompt Jesus saying: “Lord, teach us to Pray”. Lets now let the Master teach us.

16) LORD TEACH US TO PRAY TEXT: Luke 11:1 1 And it came to pass, that, as He [Jesus] was praying in a certain place, when He ceased, one of His disciples said unto Him, Lord, Teach us to pray, as John also taught his disciples.

I Got Mess, But God... Series

Contributed by Dr. Dave Hartson on Aug 2, 2019

I began this series by talking about how God and I are not on the same page when it comes to timing. I am an impatient person who likes everything done now, and our God is an extremely patient God waiting to the last moment to act. And that left me with a question. "Why?"

In The World

Contributed by Jonathan Meyer on Dec 13, 2017

Jesus, the true light, came into the world--but no one recognized Him for who He truly was, nor was He received. But for all who have received Him, we now go out as Lights in His name, that others would recognize Jesus in us and receive Him who is coming!

In 1929, The Saturday Evening Post ran an article on Albert Einstein. It was an interview with this brilliant man.

Excusinator Maximus Meets Graciator Deo

Contributed by Troy Borst on May 4, 2017

Moses lays out 5 excuses over the course of his conversation with God why he cannot serve. Now, to be honest, I feel like these excuses are pretty good, but in the end, God does not accept excuses when it comes to calling us to serve. He didn’t accept M

A Picture Of Jesus

Contributed by Chris Beam on Sep 26, 2015

The title, "Revelation", is taken from the very first verse of the first chapter: "The Revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave Him to show to his servants..." (Rev. 1:1). Now, what do you do when something’s revealed to you? You LOOK at it.

A PICTURE OF JESUS Revelation 1:9-20 There’s an old saying that says, "A picture is worth a thousand words." I think that’s pretty accurate; Jesus seems to have thought so too. His favorite method of teaching was in parables - vivid, illustrative word pictures that helped his audience ...read more

Be Strong And Courageous

Contributed by Herbert Armstrong Bosantog on Nov 7, 2012

Now, do you believe in the Bible as the Word of God from cover to cover? Are you reading it from cover to cover? How can you obey God’s commands if you’re not reading the Bible? If you love someone or a thing, you will become interested about that person/

Truth Series

Contributed by Dr. Dave Hartson on Apr 17, 2019

We come into this world with a lot to say. If you happen to live to age 70, during your lifetime, if you are an average talker (about 1600 words per day), you would have spoken 350 million words. Now some of the things that we say are more important than others.

INTRODUCTION: And at the other end of life, the final words of a person who are dying are equally important because they represent the things that are pressing on their heart as their life is nearing the end. Family and friends will gather around the dying person to make sure that they understand ...read more

What Is Truth?

Contributed by Dwight Davis on Aug 18, 2023

Wow. Has our society today lost hold on absolute truth or what? I shudder to think how blurred the line between right and wrong, good and evil, righteous and unrighteous will be five years from now! This message attempts to bring some clarity to that all-important question; what is truth?

What Is Truth? You and I live in a world that has almost totally rejected the existence of absolute truth. The current pervading mindset today seems to be that everyone has their own truth, and that everyone else must affirm them in whatever truth they claim to have—despite how ridiculous it may ...read more
