     | 2,025 views

    Imagine that you were a Shephard on that night!

    ________________________ >>>Petrified Shepherds Imagine this: “All right, listen up you guys!” The chattering of hundreds of angel voices calmed slightly but the bantering still went on. “Come on. Quiet! Look up here!” The head angel, a stern-looking fellow about 6’8” tall, clapped his hands ...read more

    Meditate & Do Principle

    Contributed by William Akehurst on Jul 19, 2012
    based on 4 ratings
     | 5,466 views

    Joshua 1:8 tells us to meditate and do what is in God's Word. What does the word Meditate mean to you? To study? To Ponder? To think about? But when we study this principle from the Hebrew root of the word, we see a whole new meaning, a true blessing

    Joshua 1:8 This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth; but thou shalt meditate therein day and night, that thou mayest observe to do according to all that is written therein: for then thou shalt make thy way prosperous, and then thou shalt have good success. PRINCIPLE: MEDITATE on the ...read more

    Are We Holy?

    Contributed by Roy Fowler on Oct 17, 2020
     | 1,297 views

    Many misunderstand what Holy is.

    For many American evangelicals, "holiness" conjures up musty images of revival meetings, gospel trios, and old-time religion—along with stern prohibitions against drinking, dancing, and playing cards. And many are happy to leave these notions of holiness in the past. Yet even in our era ...read more

    Scripture Reading: Mark 4:35-41 On that day, when evening had come, he said to them, “Let us go across to the other side.” And leaving the crowd behind, they took him with them in the boat, just as he was. Other boats were with him. A great windstorm arose, and the waves beat into the boat, so ...read more

    Participating In The Triune God

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Jun 14, 2014
    based on 7 ratings
     | 7,354 views

    Through the grace of Christ we encounter the love of God, and participate in the fellowship of the Holy Spirit.

    PARTICIPATING IN THE TRI-UNE GOD. 2 Corinthians 13:11-14. The final imperatives of this letter seem quite abrupt, almost staccato, but they sum up the situation which gave rise to the challenges of the previous four chapters. The closing benediction comes as a pleasant surprise, and something of ...read more

    A Storm At Sea, And A Question Of Jesus' Identity

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on May 25, 2015
    based on 7 ratings
     | 11,548 views

    How can Jesus sleep on in calm and peaceful repose when chaos, fear, disorder, panic and confusion are all around? Does He not care?

    “WHO IS THIS?” Mark 4:35-41. There is an old joke that asks why the chicken crossed the road? The answer is obvious: to get to the other side. I suppose the same could be said of crossing the sea, crossing to the other side of the world, or crossing to a region such as the territory of the ...read more

    based on 11 ratings
     | 7,794 views

    To say and to do not, versus the grace of humility.

    A CRITIQUE OF PHARISAIC HYPOCRISY. Matthew 23:1-12. Turning away from the Pharisees, Jesus addressed both the crowds and His own disciples (Matthew 23:1). From the outset, Jesus acknowledged the legitimacy of the Pharisees as a party within Judaism: they “sit in Moses’ seat” (Matthew 23:2). ...read more

    A Leper Cleansed By Jesus.

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Aug 14, 2022
    based on 2 ratings
     | 1,183 views

    Leprosy is often used as a figure for sin.

    A LEPER CLEANSED BY JESUS. Luke 5:12-16. The various skin diseases which fall under the Biblical heading of ‘leprosy’ have long stood as a metaphor for that worst of all human diseases: sin. However, this does not detract from the historicity of the incident which Luke now sets before us. ...read more

    They hated Me without cause.

    THE COST OF MISSION. John 15:18-25. Jesus was preparing His disciples for the work of world mission. He warned them that they would face opposition, even as He first faced opposition ahead of them. In effect, “If the world hates you, remember that it hated Me before you” (John 15:18).

    Tough Love 1. Valentine’s Day. Candy, flowers, Hallmark cards. Day for people “in love”. What is love? Emotion? Feeling? Physical desire? What is love? 2. Young adults discussing how to say “I Love You”. Group, suit, knelt, ask to marry. Mom, tough ...read more

    To call people to a true and living faith.

    A True Faith Luke 11:37-44 Primary Purpose: To call people to a true and living faith When you think of a Pharisee, what comes to mind? You don’t think of someone fun and enjoyable to be around.

    When Joy Is A Fruit

    based on 18 ratings
     | 3,081 views

    What is the fruit of joy and how can we get it?

    Introductory Considerations 1. Today we look at the second fruit of the Holy Spirit. Of all the fruit this is the one that seems a little different - for the fruit represents the character of God. 2. While we may think of God as faithful etc. we seldom think of joy as a character of God. We have ...read more
