To Tithe Or Not To Tithe, There Is No Question

Contributed by Wayne Lawson on Feb 8, 2012

The word tithe comes from the Hebrew word which means ONE-TENTH. Literally, a tithe is one-tenth of anything. In the OT a tithe was more than just giving one-tenth of your money to God.

Now he’s moving on into his pattern, “to the Jew first, and also to the Greek (or Gentile, Romans 1:16)”. There’s another pattern, so to ...read more

Philip Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Mar 18, 2021

Philip, like all the other Apostles, was unique. He had his own strengths and weaknesses. He is another proof that Jesus can and does use people of all different natures.

If Simon the Zealot was a right-winger and Matthew the Publican a left- winger, Philip was a cautious middle of the roader. He had both liberal and conservative leanings. His background was one of mixed influence. His name, for example, tell us something of his home life. Philip is a Greek name, ...read more

"Getting Blown Off Course?"

Contributed by Jerry Depoy on Sep 9, 2004

The master of the ship was no longer the Master of the ship. The ship was blown eight hundred miles off course. The Devil was now in control. Our sinful habits take another turn. They become addictions!

Title: "Getting Blown Off Course" You know better than to leave Fair Havens. Paul let the Centurion know that it was "God’s Will" for them to winter in Fair Havens. God had warned him not to leave the shores of the Island of Crete. Application. Being in the will of God should not be a ...read more

The Mark Of The Beast

Contributed by James May on Mar 19, 2006

Do Christians need to fear the Mark of the Beast? When will it be given? Is there a far more important question that we should be asking ourselves? Is there another prophecy that we should be more concerned about?

THE MARK OF THE BEAST By Pastor Jim May Over the years I have done a number of series teaching from the Book of the Revelation. I cannot tell you how many times I have been told, by Christians, that they don’t like studying, or even reading, the Book of Revelation because it frightens them. I ...read more
