    Evil, symbolized by yeast, permeates our lives and our Churches: an unpopular interpretation of the parable.

    The Marks Of The Lord

    Contributed by Grant Adams on Feb 8, 2022
     | 1,624 views

    This is a day of symbols or day of signs. We want people to know where we stand.

    Paul had a sign, a symbol and every where he went people knew to whom he belonged, and they knew where he stood. Verse 17, “I bear in my boy the marks” or the stigmata, that mark of the Lord. The Greek word stigmata has reference to a custom back in those days. A very cruel custom of branding a ...read more

    How did the cross become a symbol of love and hope from a tool for excruciating death?

    Power of the Cross We are in the Lent season. Since we are not in the mainline, or traditional congregation, this fact might be overlooked and forgotten by many of us. Parishioners in the mainline churches take Lent very seriously. I was reminded about this when I opened the news paper last ...read more

    Christ was not what was expected more than two thousand years ago. His background, His outlook, His mission and His death were not what was expected. But it was all as God had planned.

    Christ Unexpected 12/14/08 PM Text: John 7:41 Introduction It’s not unusual for people to be guided by expectations. Our bosses have expectations, teachers have expectations.

    Contributed by John Lowe on Jul 30, 2012
    based on 4 ratings
     | 6,867 views

    Some in the Church were complaining. The text makes it appear that their complaining was like the “buzzing of bees.” The topic was the welfare of the widows in the congregation. In that day the only help that widows received came from the Church.

    Two Lessons We Must Learn Acts 6:1-15, 7:54-60 Introduction Our study of the book of Acts makes it clear that the Church has displayed its ability to handle the opposition of an unfriendly world. For example, last week we read that the ...read more

    based on 6 ratings
     | 6,242 views

    Do you want to become great in the Kingdom of God? Then start with this premise in your life: It is not about me, it is about Jesus Christ; The less I am, the greater Jesus is; The greater Jesus is, the greater I will be in the kingdom of God.

    Judas Iscariot. He must be replaced. Judas has failed and another must rise up to take his place. The church will not end with the failure of Judas, the church will regroup, reevaluate, and pursue its calling - to spread the Gospel of Jesus Christ.
