     | 707 views

    "Who are we!?" cried out the man in the military uniform. He and four strangers, a clown, a ballerina, a hobo and a bagpiper found themselves in a strange cylindrical area.

    "Who are we!?" cried out the man in the military uniform. He and four strangers, a clown, a ballerina, a hobo and a bagpiper found themselves in a strange cylindrical area. Little did they know, they were simply toys, at the bottom of a salvation army toy donation bin. But is our ...read more

    Reflection C.6 / Does God Have A Purpose In Coronavirus? Waves?!

    Contributed by Simon Bartlett on May 27, 2020
     | 1,432 views

    Matthew, Mark and Luke have a lot in common. But only Luke mentions waves in connection with 'End Times'. It sounds strange. But perhaps it isn't.

    Luke 21:25 says the following: And there will be signs in sun and moon and stars, and on the earth distress of nations in perplexity because of the roaring of the sea and the waves… The first part of the verse has a parallel in Matthew and Mark: ‘the sun will be darkened, and the moon will not ...read more

     | 825 views

    Understand and embrace the concept that suffering is not surprising or strange, but rather a part of our spiritual journey, allowing us to share in Christ's sufferings and look forward to the glory that awaits us.

    Good morning, Church family. We are living in unprecedented times, aren't we? Our world has seen a drastic shift in what we consider "normal." Yet, we shouldn't be surprised. As we’ll explore today, it's not surprising because the Bible has already told us about it. We're going to look at this ...read more

    The Foolishness Of God

    Contributed by Grant Adams on Sep 22, 2022
     | 893 views

    This seems like a strange statement to make, “The foolishness of God.” When I think of God, I think of every attribute of awe, but foolishness does not come to mind.

    This seems like a strange statement to make, “The foolishness of God.” When I think of God, I think of every attribute of awe, but foolishness does not come to mind. I can see God as omnipotent, perfect, Acts 17:24. I can see God in justice and holiness, I can see Him in grace, mercy, and love, but ...read more

    Let us look at the amazing things that Jesus said to this teacher of the Law and how this encounter with Jesus impacted his life. No man spoke like Jesus spoke, and Jesus greatly impacted those he encountered.

    “Encounters with Jesus: A Teacher” Introduction: In Jesus’ life here on Earth he said and did amazing things. I believe that one of the most amazing things about Jesus’ ministry is the way in which he dealt with people here on Earth. He encountered in his short life all different type of people. ...read more

    We will look at how Zacchaeus the Tax Collector repsonded when he encountered Jesus. This will also force us to consdier how we should respond when we encounter Jesus through His Word.

    “Encounters with Jesus: A Tax Collector” Introduction: Whenever the President and his motorcade drive through a town people line the streets to see him drive by. People come from miles away just to wave to the president. I remember seeing videos of John Kennedy before his assassination. People ...read more

    Sunday Morning and the women approach the tomb where Jesus was. They encounter the angel, they encounter Jesus. The women - the last to leave the place where Jesus lay and the first to return. The conspiracy of the Roman guard and the Jewish leadership.

    The Call To Holiness

    Contributed by Ian Hyde on Mar 26, 2019
    based on 2 ratings
     | 5,588 views

    The call to holiness is one which we all share. But none of us are called because we are good enough. In fact, by our own efforts none of us could ever be good enough. And yet each of us is called to a purpose greater than any of us could imagine.

    A Strange Encounter Imagine for a moment a young woman waking early, just before dawn to begin her daily chores. Still groggy with sleep though the morning is cold and quiet, she feeds the animals, and gathers water for the day’s washing. As she fills her bucket at the well, she imagines the life ...read more

    It's all pretty strange territory for us, but Muhammad seems to be trying to show his awareness of Scripture by mentioning Bible names, then attaching weird narratives to them. Interesting, but so clearly contrived.

    Lesson 26, Jihadists All. Now we finish Sura 7, and then move to sura 8, called "The Spoils", and sura 9, "The repentant". The ending verses of chapter 7 are yet another reminder of the insecure future afforded mankind by Allah, Islam's god. Verse 179: "And indeed, we have created for hell ...read more

    "where Is Your Vision?"

    Contributed by Dr. Jerry Hulse on Apr 2, 2023
    based on 2 ratings
     | 2,211 views

    Saints, your vision is the idea constantly flashing in your mind, the dream that doesn’t seem to go away, all driven by our purpose. This works together to keep us focused on what we want to accomplish for the Kingdom of God.

    SCRIPTURAL REFERENCES (Proverbs 29:18) "Where there is no vision, the people perish; but he that keepeth the law, happy is he." (Habakkuk 2:2-3) "And the Lord answered me: “Write the vision; make it plain on ...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 wise men encountered three obstacles as they sought to worship Christ - distance, unbelief, and lowliness. So do we.

    MATTHEW 2:1-12: WISE MEN AND OVERCOME WORSHIP OBSTACLES (Distance, unbelief, lowliness) “Let’s worship God.” “Welcome to worship.” “Come and worship Christ on Christmas.” We use the word “worship” a great deal around here.

    Ezekiel was a priest who was trained for Temple service, but he encountered God in a vision in which he saw extraordinary sights. Out of that encounter, he became a prophet who communicated a vision of Israel’s future Temple.

    In The Silence Series

    Contributed by Robert Higgins on Sep 18, 2007
    based on 4 ratings
     | 9,631 views

    One way we can improve our worship experience corporately, is to meet with God more fully and intimately each day of the week. The fullest encounter of God is found not just in His presence, but encountering His glory.

    Encountering God – Part 3: “In the Silence” Quote from Children’s Letters to God. "Dear God, Is Pastor Bill a friend of yours, or do you just know him through business? Donny" Why did we do testimonies? Testimonies are for praise. Praise is about what God has done. Worship is about who God ...read more
