    Ready And Prepared

    Contributed by Charles Mallory on Nov 10, 2023
     | 2,165 views

    Jesus teaches us valuable lessons using the story of ten bridesmaids to prepare us for eternity.

    A GREAT DEAL OF OUR LIFE AND DAILY ROUTINE IS GETTING READY OR PREPARATION. WE SPEND TIME GETTING READY FOR WORK, FOR APPOINTMENTS, HOLIDAYS, AND SUCH. I FOUND ONE STUDY THAT SAYS THAT THE AVERAGE AMERICAN SPENDS 5 YEARS OF THEIR LIFE IN PREPARATION AND WAITING FOR EVENTS IN THEIR LIFE. MATTHEW’S ...read more

    The Curse Of Hidden Sins

     | 23,965 views

    Many are under the misconception that they can get away with trying to hide their sin from God. The story of Achan illustrates the fallacy of that kind of thinking.

    THE CURSE OF HIDDEN SINS Prov. 28:13 INTRO. You will never get by with covered-up sin. Sin that is unconfessed, sin that is unlamented, sin with an alibi, sin that is excused, sin with no self-judgement, is certain to bring the wrath of a holy and righteous and angry God! It would be smart for ...read more

    The story of this Canaanite woman and her faith gives us three insights into the benefits of worship.

    THE BENEFITS OF TRUE WORSHIP Matt. 15:21-28 (verse 25) Worship is important to God. Therefore it also should be important to us as well. One of life’s greatest questions is “What is my main purpose in life?” Why am I here? Solomon, considered to be one of the wisest men of his time, wrote the ...read more

    Christmas Cheer

    Contributed by Derrick Tuper on Dec 20, 2020
     | 4,405 views

    Christmas is a time of cheer. You might respond with, "not this year. The Christmas cheer has been replaced with Christmas fear!" There was both fear and cheer surrounding the events of the first Christmas.

    CHRISTMAS CHEER There's a Christmas song titled, Holly, Jolly Christmas. It starts out, "Have a holly jolly Christmas; It's the best time of the year. Now I don't know if there'll be snow; But have a cup of cheer". I wonder what's in that cup? But Christmas is a time ...read more

    Our Memorial Convocations Are More Than Nostalgia

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Jul 28, 2025
     | 177 views

    Each feast was a memorial of some historical event in the life of Israel and was more than just an exercise in nostalgia. Each Jew was called to consider himself or herself as living in that historical moment.

    Friday of the 17th Week in Course 2025 When we think of Torah, the Jewish Law, we usually think of the Ten Commandments and the various prohibitions that flow from those natural law ordinances. So, for instance, the first commandment prohibits worship of any God but Hashem, and the pagans of ...read more

    What exactly is the Kingdom of God like? Learn about its primary traits from stories about trees, yeast, and doors.

    “Trees, Yeast, and Doors” (Luke 13:18-35) Have you ever wondered, “What is the Kingdom of God like? How does it operate?” If so, you wouldn’t be alone – Jesus knew people were wondering, so he asked the question for them! We find this in Luke 13:18-35. Would you turn there? I’d like to read the ...read more

    Contributed by Charles Scott on Dec 16, 2007
    based on 7 ratings
     | 5,587 views

    From our position as disciples of Christ, we are not able to determine Good from Evil in the events that overtake us; we trust in God to make everything work together for good.

    COUNTING THE COST Luck AND PROVIDENCE Luke 14__25- 33 PHILEMON 1—25 Luke 14:25-33 A poor aged Chinese farmer had a single horse on which he depended for everything. The horse pulled the plough, drew the wagon, and was the old farmer’s sole means of transportation. One day a bee stung the ...read more

    Daniel - A Statue In The Night Series

    Contributed by Roshelle Brenneise on May 22, 2023
     | 1,136 views

    While events in history may appear to be shaped by the whim and fancy of men, the truth is that our all-merciful God is “silently, patiently working out the counsels of His own will.”

    May 20, 2023 Our next story from the book of Daniel occurs in the 2nd year of Nebuchadnezzar’s reign. In the night Nebuchadnezzar had a dream – a dream so vivid that he couldn’t go back to sleep. He was so troubled by this dream that he called his magicians, enchanters, sorcerers and ...read more

    Malchus was only a bit player in the Easter Story but his life was changed forever with this one encounter with Jesus.

    The Things He Heard He was there on a whim. He didn’t have to be there, it wasn’t part of his job but he had heard that something was going to happen, got caught up in the moment and there he was. He was simply in the wrong place at the wrong time. As the mob broke through the trees ...read more

    The Hand Of Grace

    based on 1 rating
     | 2,868 views

    It isn’t a story about work and wages. It isn’t a story about justice or fairness. It is a story about life in the church when new saints are included with those who have been in faith for a life time. They, too, receive the vast blessings of God’s grace, forgiveness, and eternal life.

    Jesus, when speaking about the wealthy owner, said to the disciples, “Am I not allowed to do what I choose with what belongs to me? Or, are you envious because I am generous?’ So the last will be first, and the first will be last.” Matthew 20:1-16 Friends in Christ, Let’s begin here: The pastor ...read more

    Belonging At The King's Table Series

    Contributed by Paul Robinson on Sep 14, 2022
     | 3,966 views

    I love this story! It’s a story of incredible, undeserved kindness. We live in a harsh world, and while there are stories of kindness out there, it’s far too uncommon. The world will show kindness to its own, but we are called to show kindness to anyone and everyone, even our enemies. But why?

    1. Mephibosheth Who was Mephiboshet? —Background: II Sam. 4:4 —He was a cripple. Our culture has changed certain words, such as “lame” or “dumb.” Mephibosheth was a cripple, that is, he was lame. —He was Jonathan’s son. As you’ll recall, Jonathan was David’s best friend.
