What The World Needs Now Series

Contributed by James Wallace on Mar 31, 2021

What the World Needs Now "is love, sweet, love." But what does that kind of love look like, especially in the context of the great sin? Jesus provides us with a powerful lesson about the kind of love we need to receive and offer to others.

Most of us here are familiar with that hit song written by Burt Bacharach, “What the World Needs Now.” And of course, as bad as I am with notes, I’m even worse with lyrics, but in this case, I do remember the next few words—“Is love, sweet, love.” And admittedly, the song strikes a chord with ...read more

A Tempting Start

Contributed by Chris Appleby on May 14, 2007

Understand the nature of the temptations Satan throws before you, fight them with God’s word and seek forgiveness from Jesus when you fail, knowing that he understands what it’s like to be tempted.

Do you ever wonder whether these temptations of Jesus were a fair test. After all, he was the Son of God, so Satan was out of his league really, wasn’t he? It wasn’t like you or me being tempted. I mean Satan hardly has to lift a finger and we give in. But then we’re a lot weaker than Jesus. But ...read more

You Could Have Heard A Pin Drop!

Contributed by Charlie Roberts on Sep 14, 2011

Jericho stood directly in the way, between Israel and the Promised Land. Its walls were built well and believed to be able to withstand, anything that an enemy could throw against them, or so they thought!

You Could Have Heard A Pin Drop! I want you to think back for just a moment, to what the earliest memory you had as a child, when a world event was taking place. For me, probably the first national event I ever remember, was the rocket that took off and was headed to the moon. Almost anyone you ...read more

Blind Bart Series

Jesus Predicts His Death Series

Contributed by Scott Maze on Jun 12, 2021

Think of it: Jesus marshaled no army and He carried no weapon. Jesus never used His miraculous powers to throw the Pharisees off the nearest cliff. Yet, the threat of Jesus was so great, He often made enemies into allies:

And 2014 marked a nearly 40 year low in the number of new criminals placed on death row. While the method of execution may have changed, ...read more
