I Can Define God Series

Contributed by Joseph Smith on Jul 19, 2004

Third in a series on popular illusions. We try to limit God by turning to religion instead of relationship. The issue is in our own integrity. The world understands the power of God better than we do! The loss of our idols is fatal, but in Christ ther

She was obviously tired of discussing the issue. The wrangling had gone on long enough. Neither side was about to give in to the other. It was time for somebody to settle this matter. So she drew herself up to her full five feet two; she threw her shoulders back; and with that certain toss of the ...read more

What We Cannot Do, God Can Do

Contributed by Michael Stark on Aug 29, 2009

If salvation depended upon living a sinless life, none of us would have a hope of reaching heaven. No Christian can claim to merit God’s mercy or grace. No saved individual can state that God was compelled to grant her life because of her goodness. We are

“Do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God?

Essence Of God #5 Series

Contributed by Clyde White on Aug 12, 2005

Tragically, our limited human reasoning concludes that -- If God is a God of absolute justice, then He must be sitting up in heaven waiting to clobber us. That would have some validity, However, among those qualities of God’s essence, is also Love.

God’s plan for the human race has been and always will be redemption. This plan of God was in place even before God formed the world on which mankind lives this temporal life. It is important to know and understand this fact, not only to understand the person of God, BUT also to have a proper ...read more

Sophomore Or Saint? Series

Contributed by Joseph Smith on Aug 10, 2008

We tend to use our limited knowledge to bludgeon others who do not know what we know or whose behavior does not match our standards; but we are called to be in Christ first and to love them, letting behavior flow from the relationship.

There is an old, corny story – and please don’t stop me if you have heard this one – a story about the young man who was the first in his family to go to college. In fact, he was the first in his small town to go to college. And so when he came home after his freshman year, he was the apple of ...read more

Of Prayers And Trumpets And Prophetic Proclamation

Contributed by Greg Nance on Feb 18, 2010

Revelation leaves us gasping for breath when we see God’s response to the saints prayers. When God sends even his limited judgments against his enemies... "Woe, woe, woe! is about all that can describe it.

Take the book of Revelation and remove it from its historical foundation and give it to scholars with a fertile imagination and let them consider their present situation and they will surely make a new application or see it as a biblical alegorization. Revelation 8-11 shows us how the saints’ ...read more

Who Do You Trust? Series

Contributed by Mark Haines on Jan 20, 2010

Sin is deadly in the end even though it may seem pleasurable in the beginning. Humans cannot determine what is right and wrong in the universe God created. It is beyond our limitations. So we can and must trust God. The question is will you trust him.

Series Introduction: Middle Eastern people in the Bible, from Abraham to Paul, were as acquainted with covenants as we are with weddings. The Greeks and Romans did not have covenants. In fact, when the Jews translated the OT into Greek, they had to use the Greek word for “will” or ...read more

Contributed by Brad Henry on Jul 29, 2014

You Are Uncontainable

Contributed by Rev. Samuel Arimoro on Feb 7, 2025

The enemy often tries to suppress, limit, and stop the progress of God's people. However, the power of God upon His children makes them uncontainable. No affliction, opposition, or attack can stop a person whom God has destined to rise.

The Value Of Human Need In God's Kingdom

Contributed by Dianabasi Essien on Mar 30, 2025

In God's kingdom, we often emphasize the importance of faith, obedience, and spiritual growth. However, there's another aspect that's equally vital: human need. Our vulnerabilities, weaknesses, and limitations are not liabilities to be ashamed...

The Value of Human Need in God's Kingdom: A Sermon on Luke 6:1-11 Brothers and Sisters in Christ, Let us turn our hearts and minds to the Gospel of Luke, chapter 6, verses 1 through 11. Here, we find two seemingly separate incidents – Jesus and his disciples plucking and eating grain on the ...read more

Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Sep 28, 2025

Orphans and widows. Throughout Lamentations we have considered one deprivation after another, and this message adds three more – payment for drinking water, payment for wood, and hounded to the limits of endurance. We look at applications in our current world matching those.

Zechariah’s Third Vision: City Without Walls) Series

Contributed by Richard Tow on Nov 10, 2021

The Jews in Jerusalem were thinking too small in their expectations of God's goodness. God's future for his people is so abundant that man-made walls could not contain the blessings. Jerusalem will be a "city without walls."

We are becoming familiar with the book of Zechariah. For most Christians, it is a closed book. But God is opening this word to us because it is so relevant to world events today and to our personal journey in God. Today we enter Zechariah’s third vision recorded in chapter 2. The vision, as a ...read more
