    Jesus The Sneaky Savior Series

    Contributed by Tom Fuller on Sep 3, 2012
     | 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

    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

    Here is a lesson on the historical and very real "Babylon", in every culture, in every age. Introductions and explanations ....

    SOME PRELIMINARY NOTES 1. The tracing of Babylon turns out to be the study of the human race, with its obvious and not so obvious byways and lanes that, after awhile, tend to overwhelm rather than edify. After months of plodding through these paths, I finally must force myself to stop and turn over ...read more

    MORE THAN HEARING: How much we’ve heard impacts how much God expects of us. - 1 Timothy 1:13. - Verse 13 brings out an interesting phrase: “because I acted in ignorance and unbelief.” - Paul there acknowledges that part of God’s great mercy to him was prefaced on his lack ...read more

    Contributed by Dan Proctor on Jan 31, 2013
     | 6,030 views

    Peter performed two miracles, both of which are striking illustrations of the nation that Peter was ministering to – Israel. These miracles sent a message to Israel and many did in fact believe in response to these miracles.

    Israel – Sick, but Healed, Dead, but Alive Acts 9:32-43 Introduction: 1. In this chapter we have the glorious salvation of Saul of Tarsus who would become the apostle Paul. This man will end up being the central figure in the book of Acts. • To him would be revealed the dispensation ...read more

    Reach Out And Touch

     | 4,942 views

    An amplified story of the woman with a haemorrage and how we too can be cured if we just reach out and touch Jesus.

    Her bleeding began after the birth of her fourth child. That, of course, was normal. What was not normal was that it did not stop. That was 12 years ago. Twelve years is a long time. It’s a long time even when life is good and the years slip gently by, but if you are poor, or ill, or ...read more

    The account of Jesus calling Matthew to be a disciple and His encounter with Zacchaeus are so similar even though one occurs at the beginning of Jesus' ministry and the other near the end. the consistency of Jesus' ministry was amazingly focused-salvation

    Review of what we’ve covered so far this Lenten season: Jesus is the Christ, the Son of the Living God (foundation of the church) Jesus came to bring abundant life Jesus came to fulfill the law and the prophets Jesus came to bring a sword Luke ...read more

    Warm And Comfortable The Day After Easter

    Contributed by James Kirkland on Apr 30, 2014
     | 6,423 views

    The resurrection did not end on Monday. The events of Sunday continue 24/7 in our lives. We need to remember yesterday, so we can grow today and tomorrow. The two men on the road to Emmaus needed to remember yesterday so they could Jesus today.

    Warm and Comfortable the Day after Easter? It is getting to the point that we may need to turn the A/C on during the day, but the evening air might be a little cool. As we kick off our shoes and reach for the newspaper or maybe a cup of hot chocolate we get that comfortable cozy feeling. We are ...read more

     | 12,949 views

    When your ear itches then you're going to listen to something, but it will not be sound doctrine. When we judge the word of God given by His preachers & teachers based on our belief rather than judging our belief by the scriptures they bring we're deaf.

    2 Timothy 4:1-4 I charge thee therefore before God, and the Lord Jesus Christ, who shall judge the quick and the dead at his appearing and his kingdom; 2 Preach the word; be instant in season, out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort with all long suffering and doctrine. 3 For the time will come ...read more

    John tells us three reasons a believer can know that if they are saved, they are saved eternally.

    1 John is a book of Christian certainty. John let's us know that God wants us to be fully assured of our salvation. Through His Word, God provides assurance to those who have received Christ that they are truly His (1 John 5:13). As the Spirit of God affirms through the Word of God the validity of ...read more

    Our Marathon ends only at our death. Till then we need to run without hesitance and fear. We will face all kinds of encumbrances in life but throw off the run with the same pace and win the race.

    Theme: Run, Text: Hebrews 12:1-3 Dearly beloved in Christ. Today, we will have mediation from Hebrews 12:1-3 under the theme, RUN. I would like to leave three thoughts, such as, Run the Race, Run to Jesus, and Run without weary. An old priest died and arrived at the Gates of Heaven. Next to him ...read more
