What Do You Say To A Hungry World?

Contributed by Joseph Smith on Feb 2, 2011

The clear demand of Jesus, seen against the spread of hunger in our time, is that we make lifestyle changes and that we understand that the Gospel calls for outward obedience as well as inner faith.

Mary Magdalene Series

Contributed by Jason Miller on Apr 19, 2010

Mary Magdalene was the first to see the risen Christ? Why? Why not Peter, why not one of the other disciples? What made Mary so special that she was the first? What can we take away from her life to apply to ours?

Mary Magdalene John 20:1-18 Easter isn’t about bunnies and eggs and candy, it’s about the death, burial, and resurrection of our Lord Jesus Christ. I wasn’t sure if I’d be able to continue my series on the Lesser known People of the Bible, but as I sat down and started ...read more

How To Tell The Truth

Contributed by Joseph Smith on Jul 25, 2010

Monologue, as if the speaker were James, illustrating points by incidents in the life of Jesus. Truth comes with compassion, it does its own convicting, and must be backed with a life of integrity.

One of the peculiarities of the letter of James is that it has so very little direct reference to the life of Jesus. If it was written, as has traditionally been believed, by the James who was the brother of our Lord and who became prominent in the Jerusalem church, then it does seem odd that he ...read more

The Credibility Factor

Contributed by Rick Pendleton on Dec 30, 2014

Nehemiah had something beyond the authority that went with being a governor. He had something that had taken him over time, actually, and we learn later on about twelve years to fully earn. He had credibility

The Credibility Factor Nehemiah 5:6-5:19 Around 586 BC Nebuchadnezzar, king of the Babylonians, came into Jerusalem, came into Israel and destroyed the temple and destroyed the walls and took a bunch of guys prisoner, to put an end to Israel as a super power. Fifty years later, things had changed ...read more

The Time Is Short

Contributed by John Gaston on Jan 29, 2015

When Paul says "The Time is Short" he warns us 1. Our Life is short; 2. Our Opportunities are Short & 3. The Time Until Christ's Coming will be Short. Are we living like our time is short?

THE TIME IS SHORT 1 Cor. 7:29 INTRODUCTION A. HUMOR 1. We’ve all heard of the unsettling effect of fracking, possibly causing miniature earthquakes. I heard about some Texaco drillers who were drilling for oil in Lake Peigneur in LA. 2. After only a few hours they sat back, expecting the ...read more

The Tongue As A Fire And A Member Of Our Body That Is Diffucult To Control! Series

Contributed by John Wright on Feb 1, 2010

James teaches that when the tongue gets out of control it can do as much damage as a fire when it gets out of control.

INTRODUCTION #13 1. Open your bibles to James 3:5-8. 2. James has had much to say about the tongue. 3. In comparison to the other members of our body the tongue is small. It is not near as large as our legs, our feet, our arms, our hands, our head and etc. 4. It is not near as large as these ...read more

Heavenly Cpr

Contributed by Joseph Smith on Mar 28, 2010

1986, with an Assistant reading the part of Philemon. An imaginary set of letters between Paul and Philemon, emphasizing that a new relationship with Christ changes every human relationship, and calls for forgiveness and mutual support.

Among all the weighty theological treatises the apostle Paul wrote to the churches he had established, among all the complex sentences and profound thoughts and ponderous pronouncements, there is one little gem from the hand of the great apostle that is quite different. The little letter to ...read more

Addressing Sin In The Church

Contributed by Simon Bartlett on Apr 29, 2024

Jesus has just told the Parable of the Good Shepherd. The shepherd goes after the straying sheep. Then Jesus spells out what WE need to do when we see a member of our church falling into sin and straying.

INTRODUCTION We sometimes hurt people. I can think of times when I’ve hurt people. And people sometimes hurt us. I can think of times when I’ve been hurt. It happens in families, in workplaces and in churches. There was a time when Paul was planning to visit the church in Corinth. But he was ...read more

A Conversation With A Phoenician Mother (Can Be Used For Mother’s Day)

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Mar 15, 2022

We want to look at another conversation in the Bible that the Lord had with people He came into contact with daily.

This is a conversation between Christ and a Phoenician woman. WHAT DO WE KNOW ABOUT HER? We do not know a great deal about this lady, but the Scripture makes it clear: • She was Grecian woman (Gentile) • She was a mother • She was a mother with a serious problem When she came to the Lord we ...read more

"And He Brought Him To Jesus…”

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Mar 18, 2022

Jesus, walking by the Sea of Galilee, said to Peter and Andrew, “...Follow me, and I will make you fishers of men.” (Matthew 4:19).

He did not say, “I will try to make you fishers of men”, He said, “I will make you fishers of men.” Our job is to follow His leading, and He will make us into fishers of men. Even though this is a clear command from God, it is seldom obeyed by the majority. Illus: For example, it has been ...read more
