    Wisdom: 2 Ways To Live Series

    Contributed by Chris Appleby on Apr 21, 2007
    based on 7 ratings
     | 9,300 views

    Wisdom is the key to life. Choose wisdom. The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom.

    It’s interesting how often in the Scriptures we find ourselves addressed as though we were walking along and had come to a fork in the road. Here we have to make a decision. Do we go right or do we go left? And so often the decision is a life changing one. Joshua in Joshua 24 tells the people they ...read more

    Paul, Pt. 23

    BUILT TO SERVE (COLOSSIANS 3:22-25) The St. Bernard dog is renowned for its rescue work.

    The reason for this is that God is more interested in developing wisdom through your character than making sure life is comfortable for you. God is more interested in making your life holy than He is in making your life happy. We can be reasonably happy

    Mortality

    Contributed by Brien Sims on Jan 16, 2008
    based on 4 ratings
     | 4,238 views

    This story is about someone who fears death because they don’t know what’s next, someone who says they know Christ but fears death, and someone who lived for Christ and knows where they are headed.

    How often do we as humans think about our mortality? Generally something has to jog our brains a bit before we being to really contemplate the seriousness of life and death. Maybe we see a horrific accident on the news, a national disaster such as hurricane Katrina, or even now an act of terror ...read more

    If you are not a Star Trek fan you may be wondering what in the world is up with that title. Star Trek has been used to preach “another gospel” since the original series came on in 1965.

    Exposition of Malachi 4

    People can be very forgetful about important things. The great British preacher Charles Spurgeon once wrote: A man goes into an inn, and as soon as he sits down he begins to order…his dinner, his bed…He stays at the inn for some time. By and by, the bill comes due, and it takes him by surprise. ...read more

    Like John the Baptizer we need to be reminded from time to time that Jesus is our promised Messiah.

    Jesus our Promised Messiah Matthew 11:1-6 John the Baptizer was now in prison for preaching about the Kingdom of God. He sent his disciples to ask Jesus question: “Are you really the Messiah we’ve been waiting for, or should we keep looking for someone else?” (Matthew 11:3 NLT) This question ...read more

    God's Hope In Troubled Times

     | 5,203 views

    Through the birth of the Christ child and the visitation of the angels to the shepherds we see a God who cares and comes to us at our worst times to deliver us.

    When we read the Christmas story of the birth of Christ I think we have a tendency to gloss over and glamorize what really happened. We sing our Christmas songs and envision this postcard picture of Jesus in a pristine creche as he lies in a manger on a bed of hay or straw. It’s beautiful, ...read more
