     | 4,640 views

    Sunday, the day the church gathered for worship, because it was the day of Christ’s resurrection. The writings of the early church Fathers confirm that the church continued to meet on Sunday after the close of the NT period. Scripture does not require Chr

Well, it has nothing to do with cooking or cookbooks, although I suppose that if you stretch the analogy a bit, you might say that it is a bit like Weight Watchers ...read more

    To show that GOD exacts retribution from us, whatever we sow, we will reap in this lifetime. Be sure to harvest righteousness in this life by sowing righteousness in peace.

    I. EXORDIUM: Are you paying your debt of sin? No. CHRIST JESUS paid it all for me. 2 Corinthians 5:21 (Amplified Bible) For our sake He made Christ [virtually] to be sin Who knew no sin, so that in and through Him we might become [endued with, viewed as being in, and examples of] the ...read more

    based on 3 ratings
     | 4,095 views

    Was it for every single person that Jesus died, or only HIs elect? Tough question...

    For Whom Did Jesus Die? Jesus died for every single soul that ever lived or ever will live (unlimited atonement) or, Jesus died for His own, the ones God saw from the beginning, the elect (limited atonement). With the “L” of the Tulip, we come to a bump in the road for many. Trying to ...read more

     | 14,171 views

    Looking at our relationship with God, does God need us or does He want us? and what about our need for God?

    Does God Need Me? Isaiah 40:28 Does God need us? That is a question many have asked over the years. It deals with our imperfect emotions; we have a desire to be needed. In many ways it defines us, especially us men. We need to feel that we have a purpose, our purpose has to translate to ...read more

     | 5,864 views

    A brief description of Hanukah, Judas Maccabeus, the hero, and how this relates to our hero and Lord Jesus.

    We all seem to need heroes. It’s true now, and it was just as true in the time of Jesus. The people we meet in our Gospel reading were in the grip of heroic dreams like these. That’s what lies behind the question they ask Jesus. “How long will you keep us in suspense? If you are ...read more

    How does suffering affect our ability to minister? As Jesus is overcome with grief how is it that He ended up with compassion, not bitterness?

    Back in 2006 my wife and I were presented with an opportunity—go to Kenya and minister to folks who have been unreached by other organizations. On one hand it was an obvious opportunity and a way to serve God by spreading the gospel. On the other hand I was scared to death. We were going to a ...read more

    There are many excuses for rejecting what God has to offer, and God sees through them all. If we’re full of the world we’ll have no appetite for Heaven.

    Today’s parable starts out as table-talk. At a dinner, Jesus mentions “the resurrection of the righteous”, an encouraging truth. Someone at the table gets so excited, he declares a Beatitude: “Blessed is everyone who will eat at the banquet in the Kingdom of God!” ...read more
