    Why We Disobey

    Contributed by Christian Cheong on Sep 28, 2014
    based on 1 rating
     | 16,580 views

    Disobedience is an issue of misplaced trust and miguided "truth". Obedience is a matter of the heart and flows from a heart of trust and love. Build your trust in God and grow your love for God.

    Why do we disobey? Have you thought about that? • Think for a moment the last time you disobeyed someone, your parents, your superior. Why did you do that? What causes it? • It couldn’t be nothing. There is always something that triggers our disobedience. God has given clear ...read more

    Who Is Better?

    Contributed by Tom Fuller on Aug 29, 2011
     | 6,269 views

    It is human nature to compare ourselves to one another. We do it all of the time very naturally and almost without noticing it. That's what was happening in Corinth and it was giving the Corinthians a false impression about who to trust.

    There is an old saying “appearances can be deceiving.” Or: “Don’t judge a book by its cover.” In the case of the Corinthians, those sayings apply very well. They fell into a trap that many of us fall prey to, using human senses to judge spiritual realities. In this ...read more

    The Verdict Of The Vineyard Series

    Contributed by Christopher Benfield on May 30, 2018
     | 8,083 views

    As Jesus continued in the Temple, He shared a parable with those present. He spoke of a vineyard, which revealed great significance for Israel, although they failed to see the truth. This was given specifically to Israel, but there is application for all.

    The Verdict of the Vineyard Mark 12: 1-12 In our text today, Jesus remained in Jerusalem at the Temple. These events took place during the days immediately leading up to His arrest and crucifixion on the cross. Following a challenge by the chief priests and scribes regarding His authority in ...read more

    The Search For A Queen (Part 2) Series

    Contributed by Christopher Benfield on Mar 17, 2021
     | 2,903 views

    As chapter two of Esther continues, we see more of the sovereignty of God revealed. Although it appeared His people had been forsaken, God had a plan and would use Esther to help bring about its fulfillment. Sovereignty is an attribute that brings peace and comfort to believers.

    The Search for a Queen (Part 2) Esther 2: 10-18 We have learned that due to her refusal to accommodate the king’s ridiculous demands, Vashti had been removed from her position as queen. After some time had passed, the king’s advisors developed a plan to locate and crown a new queen. The plan ...read more

    Render unto Caesar Matthew 22:15-22 “Render unto Caesar or as other’s put it “Give Caesar his due” is fairly well known.

    Go Thy Way: He Waited For A Convenient Season Series

    Contributed by Jonathan Spurlock on Mar 31, 2020
     | 3,658 views

    In this last message for this "Go thy way" series, Felix a Roman governor, talked with Paul about the Christian faith several times. He listened but told Paul "go thy way and I'll talk to you about this when I have the time". Sadly, he never found the time.

    Background: Paul has been arrested in Jerusalem, then taken to the Roman barracks (castle, KJV: Acts 21:34, 37, e.g.). Later Paul was sent to the seat of Roman government in Caesarea. He had been tried and accused of charges, serious at the time, but was declared neither guilty nor innocent. Paul ...read more

    Fear Frustration Faith

    Contributed by Jonathan Kruschel on Aug 28, 2019
    based on 2 ratings
     | 5,615 views

    Fear. Frustration. Faith. We all have them and each is related. While faith can be the solution to fear and frustration, it can also be the source of fear and frustration. How can faith be both the solution and the source? That’s what the account of Abraham leads us to consider.

    What are you afraid of? What is it that frustrates you? Maybe your fears come from the “what ifs” in life, what if this happens or that happens. Maybe they are the fears of what other people think of you or the fear of failure. Maybe it’s the fear of things from the past, things that you can’t ...read more

    "Ascension To Coronation”

     | 2,341 views

    The recent Coronation of King Charles III was specular, but it can not compare to the Coronation of Jesus in Revelation 5. The Coronation of Jesus verifies that the Father accepted His perfect life, and sacrifice for the redemption of humanity.

    The context of Jeremiah's written promise of God, "I have a plan ad purpose for you" speaks to how can we endure the hard times and stay faithful to God.
