The story of Paul in the Areopagus in Athens will be a nice one for philosophers and the intellectuals of the times

The story of Paul in the Areopagus in Athens will be a nice one for philosophers and the intellectuals of the times and to some extent the postmodern folks of today who neither think much about science or of religion. Yet this story is also the story of our time and of ordinary folks who are ...read more

Contributed by Brad Stone on Aug 14, 2019

Even amidst the difficulties, trial and troubles of this life, we must be willing to continue in our journey of faith, knowing that Heaven awaits us.

When Unity Becomes Toxic

Contributed by Kerry Haynes on Jun 9, 2019

The stories of the Tower of Babel and Pentecost teach us to: 1. Guard against prideful uniformity. 2. Cherish diversity as God's gift, and 3. Look to Christ as the source of our unity

Genesis 11:1-9 When Unity Becomes Toxic We tend to think of unity as a good thing. Military units aspire for unity. People in public office wish for it. Marriages hope for it. Churches aspire for it. Yet, sometimes supposed unity masks for uniformity, and can quickly slip into pride and ...read more

The Sounds Of Pentecost Series

Contributed by Wiley Hughes on Jun 3, 2022

To promote Christian unity and ministry, and to experience God more fully as a body and individually, we should remember that God speaks to each of us in different ways. Therefore, we should be tolerant of one another’s spiritual experiences and be supportive of our fellow Christians.

The SOUNDS of Pentecost Acts: 2: 1-13 Dr. Wiley Hughes Summary: On the Day of Pentecost the people of God were united by the Supernatural even though there were some natural barriers that could have divided them.

Seven Times The Righteous Rise Up Again!

Contributed by John Gaston on Jul 20, 2022

God's people are not promised immunity from trials and troubles. In fact, the Bible hints we may fall many times. Our victory is not that we never fall, but that God gives us grace and power to get up each time, so that in the end we triumph!

SEVEN TIMES THE RIGHTEOUS RISE UP AGAIN! Prov. 24:16 INTRODUCTION A. HUMOR 1. Some people fall at the worst times. Like the high school graduate who fell down the platform stairs just after receiving his diploma (in front of 4,000 people). 2. A waiter in a restaurant told of slipping on a wet ...read more

Pagan Piety Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Apr 9, 2021

We see here an example of how God can use evil to bring forth good. Jonah disobeyed and did the opposite of God's will, and yet there was no loss, for by his act of evil he was led providentially to bring the knowledge of the true God to these men.

Total depravity is not the concept that man is as bad as he can be, for we all know that there are many degrees of evil among the lost, and this holds true even among the saved. Some redeemed people are less sinful than others, and some lost people are less sinful than others. Total depravity, ...read more

Facial Recognition

If you have recognized yourselves in other people, then Jesus will recognize himself in you.

The Ache Of Insignificance Series

Contributed by Paul Dayao on Aug 22, 2025

Introduction: There’s a feeling I believe we have all known at some point. Perhaps it hits you on a clear, moonless night, far from the city lights of Metro Manila, when you can truly see the Milky Way splashed across the sky like a river of diamonds.
