Paul's Sermon At Athens: The Historical Background

Contributed by Donald Whitchard on May 31, 2021

This is the first of a series of messages centering on the sermon that the Apostle Paul gave before the groups of philosophers in Athens, and how it is a perfect model for Biblical apologetics and evangelism.

People today tend to sidestep, ignore, deter, apologize for and question the concept of reality in a world which gladly embraces the concept that reality, truth, and fact are not absolute but just a matter of opinion, experience, or personal interpretation. We have become terrified of the ...read more

Compromise Is Not The Answer Series

Contributed by Jerry Cosper on Aug 30, 2021

In the very beginning of his stay in the king's Palace, Daniel took a stand that could have led to his execution or at the very least, enslavement or imprisonment.

He was determined to stay faithful to the Lord no matter how much pressure was put upon him. So, in the very beginning of ...read more

Contributed by Patrick Usifo on Mar 24, 2021

But as time progresses, I began to question every form of the appearance of the outward display of humility: ...read more

Be Ready…and Be Fruitful

Contributed by Craig Condon on Feb 27, 2016

During this season of Lent, we are called on to give thanks to the one who spared us from his wrath and gave us the gift of today. We must not waste this gift by returning to the ways of sin. We must use this season of Lent to examine our own behaviours.

People have asked this question since the beginning of time, and this same question is the foundation of the Gospel reading from Luke ...read more
