    Changing Jesus, And Muhammad's Personal Problems Series

    Contributed by Bob Faulkner on Aug 27, 2015
     | 2,910 views

    Muhammad does not claim to be a perfect man, and the Koran confirms that for us. Also see Muhammad's attempt to pull Jesus down, and the changes in the Gospel story that he (or his "angel" ) has manufactured.

    Lesson 29, Muhammad, Show Us Proof! Today we cover suras 14-17 . Sura 14 is called "Abraham" but only mentions the patriarch at the end, as the author of a prayer that, per the Bible, he never prayed. The chapter opens up with great promise, describing Koran as a book "we have sent down to you ...read more

    This sermon explores the reasons behind delays in life's journey and offers biblical solutions to overcome them.

    Destiny is closely tied to time, and it is the primary target of the devil. Satan doesn't attack you because of your past; he troubles you because of your future. His goal is to delay you, as prolonged delay can lead to destruction. However, it will not be too late for you to overcome this delay ...read more

    The resurrection story is capture in three words, "He Is Risen". The best news the world has ever heard came out of a cemetery, "He is risen!!! He is alive"!!!

    Turn in your Bibles to Luke 24. The resurrection story is capture in three words, "He Is Risen". Christianity rises or falls on the resurrection story. If Christ did not rise from the dead, our faith is a colossal hoax, an absolute fraud. If Jesus did not rise from the dead, our songs and ...read more

    When Unity Becomes Toxic

    Contributed by Kerry Haynes on Jun 9, 2019

    The stories of the Tower of Babel and Pentecost teach us to: 1. Guard against prideful uniformity. 2. Cherish diversity as God's gift, and 3. Look to Christ as the source of our unity

    Genesis 11:1-9 When Unity Becomes Toxic We tend to think of unity as a good thing. Military units aspire for unity. People in public office wish for it. Marriages hope for it. Churches aspire for it. Yet, sometimes supposed unity masks for uniformity, and can quickly slip into pride and ...read more
