    based on 4 ratings
     | 8,471 views

    Let’s face it. We all get into conflict—sometimes. Even with those close to us. How are we supposed to handle it? Is it okay to hate people? Can we disagree without being disagreeable? Unity chooses to believe that there is good in every person who is a C

    Opening Activity: Acting out—Fight! Stage a fight with one of your adult volunteers—prepare him ahead of time, of course.

    Why does God want to protect our reputation?

    “Sticks and stones can break my bones but words can never hurt me.” Do you remember being taught that little saying after your feelings had been hurt by some bully at school? It does keep the hurt in perspective. Better to be called “four eyes” than actually get punched in ...read more

    When God Seem To Be Asking For Too Much From You

    Contributed by Jim Butcher on Oct 25, 2012
    based on 1 rating
     | 4,337 views

    A look at the conditional obedience we often offer God, in comparison with Joseph's complete and costly obedience.

    ASKING TOO MUCH? Often our willingness to obey God comes with a pre-set spending limit. Main illustration: An American Express card vs. a Walmart pre-loaded card. This is a Walmart pre-loaded card with $50 on it. If I give it to you, you can buy whatever you want. . . up to $50. This is an ...read more

     | 5,199 views

    The resurrection of Jesus Christ is the most important even in human history. Coming down from that global perspective, what does the resurrection mean to me? That's the question we'll talk about as we conclude our study in Mark's gospel.

    Don’t you like delivering good news? Like: “you got the job!” or “Yes, I’ll marry you” or “It’s a girl!” Here in Mark 16 we get the best news of all—the best news ever delivered to mankind. Though Jesus our ultimate action hero died, He ...read more

    Voices And Choices

    Contributed by John Williams Iii on Aug 24, 2009
    based on 6 ratings
     | 14,110 views

    We have to be cautious because much like the original audience of Proverbs, we are in a marketplace of voices that compete for our time, attention and even our allegiance. Proverbs 1:7 reminds us that the fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom.

    VOICES AND CHOICES Text: Proverbs 1:20 – 33 Matthew Henry once made the point that the book of Proverbs gives us a “…. necessary caution against bad company”. Matthew Henry’s comment reminds me of something I always heard when I was growing up which was “If you lie down with dogs, then ...read more

    Life's More Than A Coincidence Series

    Contributed by Terry Blankenship on Feb 27, 2008
    based on 4 ratings
     | 7,034 views

    Life seems to be full of coincidences. I really believe that life is really full of God-cidences. That is where God reveals Himself to us through His mighty works, marvelous wisdom and matchless ways.

    Life’s More Than a Coincidence It came to pass in those days that Jesus came from Nazareth of Galilee, and was baptized by John in the Jordan. And immediately, coming up from the water, He saw the heavens parting and the Spirit descending upon Him like a dove. Then a voice came from heaven, "You ...read more
