    Contributed by Gordon Pike on May 12, 2018
     | 10,478 views

    Humility is not thinking less of yourself but thinking rightly about yourself. It's getting and keeping a "right-sized" image of yourself by having a "right-sized" image of God.

    Why Jesus Had To Suffer Series

    Contributed by Scott Maze on May 1, 2024
     | 1,114 views

    For Jesus to be the “the Lamb of God” meant the Messiah HAD TO suffer. Yet, to think that the Messiah would suffer was as preposterous as thinking you could swim across the Atlantic.

    Our series is devoted to enabling you to place your faith in the Lord Jesus. I invite you to find John 1 with me. Remember, John’s gospel was written in order that you would believe in Jesus Christ. That you would trust in Jesus. The word “believe” appears more than seventy times throughout the ...read more

    A lot of folks think the Christian life is like the game children like to play, called “Hide and Seek”.

    Even older teens sometimes enjoy playing this game. But in all fairness, sometimes they cheat when they play it.

    I am all too ready to say that the TALIBAN deserve God's judgment without really thinking twice. I tend to think of them in the same way that I think about SODOM AND GOMORRAH. But did Sodom and Gomorrah really deserve to be judged? Does the Taliban?
