Increase Your Faith

Contributed by Ajai Prakash on Oct 7, 2014

Horse Sense Without the Horse Proverbs 20:15-18 1. I like horses okay, but they I am not a horse-person. 2. But for much of history, horses were crucial.

Faith, A Little Dab Will Do Ya

Contributed by Ed Vasicek on Oct 18, 2000

Often time, the difference between serving the Lord significantly and just using up the time period we call our lifespan is just a little bit of faith and courage; not a lot of it, just a little faith exercised in fear and trembling!

1. There is not that much difference between us; human race--we are similar to one another.... 2. Differences are in the realm of fine shades... 3. Gifts, talents...matter of degree...(we can all sing, but a dog can only howl....we can read, but some are quicker....we can draw a picture, but some ...read more

Signs From The Bible

Contributed by Dennis King on Mar 3, 2022

Are today's experiences representative signs of the Last Days? Signs are found throughout the Bible? God gives us repeated evidence, through signs and miracles, that He is there with us, with His people. And occasionally, He chooses to reveal what will happen in the future.

Signs From the Bible Have you ever considered that what we are experiencing nowadays is representative of the signs of the Last Days?

From This Day On, I Will Bless (Haggai 2:10-19) Series

Contributed by Garrett Tyson on Apr 14, 2022

When we move from being unclean, to clean, God views and treats us completely different. It's then that God's blessings flow.

Haggai's oracle in today's passage, chapter 2:10-19, comes roughly two months after his last one-- and three months after the people have begun rebuilding God's house. Here, again, Yahweh speaks through his prophet to encourage the people. So this is another message, I'm hoping, ...read more

Surely Jesus Didn't Mean That!

Contributed by Greg Nance on Apr 5, 2008

Hate your parents, spouse, kids??? What is going on here in Luke 14? Before we decided to change the Word of God, consider the unthinkable with me for a bit. It might just open our eyes to a deeper understanding of who Jesus is.
