    Blenders are designed to take independent foods and integrate them to create something new, bigger and better than any one item could be on its own. What a housewife does in a kitchen when she mixes the batter for a cake, God does with the Universe.

    Benefits Of Living For Jesus

    Contributed by Jerry Owen on Feb 11, 2016
    based on 4 ratings
     | 18,181 views

    Jesus told us that in order to be His disciple we would have to take up our cross and follow Him. It's easy to focus on the negative consequences of being a Christian, but we should also realize that there are awesome benefits in living for Jesus Christ.

    BENEFITS OF LIVING FOR JESUS Acts 7:55-60 There is a price to pay for following Jesus. Jesus told us that “If any man would be my disciple he must take up his cross and follow Me.” In those days the cross indicated a huge price to pay. Many times, though, we look at the price that has ...read more

    Don’t let your fears prevent you from doing what God asks of you. It is not our job to determine results. It is our job to obey. God will take care of the results. He will fulfill what He has promised.

    When Jesus was arrested, Peter was solely afraid to the bones. He and the rest of the disciples went into hiding. He was not at the place Jesus was crucified. In fact, Peter denied ever knowing Jesus 3 times. He did not want to be associated with Jesus. But now we see peter proclaiming the name of ...read more

     | 5,095 views

    We live in a very fast-paced society and culture. It seems there is always somewhere to go and something to do. We don’t take time to meditate and ponder on life, the true meaning of life, the direction of our life, God, heaven, and the Bible.

    Biblical Meditation: Thinking Through It 1 Timothy 4:15 www.crbible.com/sermons Introduction: 1. We live in a very fast-paced society and culture.

    At the Last Supper, Jesus and the Disciples celebrated the Passover meal together. But as they got to the 3rd of 4 cups of the passover, Jesus made a most profound statement about the cup he was holding, and the 4th cup, which he would wait to take.

    God's Shield

    Contributed by Jeff Van Wyk on Jul 6, 2013
     | 5,140 views

    God’s perspective on matters and not the way man looks at things, we can then expect wonderful things to manifest in our lives. There are special rewards for those who seek God’s view rather than the view man takes.

    God’s shield Man’s ways are not God’s ways The Bible teaches us that man’s ways seem right, but they actually lead to failure and disappointment. However, God’s ways lead us to success and blessings. God’s ways and man’s ways are poles apart. If we as ...read more

    Beware Of Warnings

    based on 4 ratings
     | 15,817 views

    God gives His people a watchman to protect their life. Brothers and sisters, in the weeks, months, and years that lie ahead, let us both, you and I, listen to the Word of God. And let us take heed to these warnings. So there will be life - eternal life.

    Opening illustration: Americans are getting warned to death. Manufacturers are growing increasingly wary of being sued when their products are misused, so they are attaching warning labels to hundreds of items. For example, a Batman outfit bears this caveat: “Parents, please exercise ...read more

    The Truth About Truth

    based on 4 ratings
     | 10,020 views

    It may take a crucified church to bring a crucified Christ before the eyes of the world. Christ’s cross makes foolish human wisdom. The cross insults our intelligence (too simple), ability (nothing to do), and ambition (not glory for self).

    Opening illustration: When Harvard University was founded, its motto was Veritas Christo et Ecclesiae —“Truth for Christ and the Church.” Its crest showed three books, one face down to symbolize the limitation of human knowledge. But in recent decades that book has been turned ...read more

    It's God's Grace That Goes To Bat For Us.

    Contributed by Ronnie Miller on Jul 27, 2012
    based on 3 ratings
     | 3,448 views

    As long as mankind has been around there has never been an illustration or definition of God's grace that stays in the heart until it takes root and begins to grow. 2 Peter 3:18 But grow in grace, and in the knowledge of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ.

    It's God's Grace that goes to bat for us. Ephesians 2:8 For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: 9 Not of works, lest any man should boast.

    "Did you receive the Holy Spirit when you believed? Did you take God into your mind only, or did you also embrace him with your heart? Did he get inside you?" (these are Paul’s words)

    Open the Gift? Before we get started, I want to ask everyone a question. How many of you, have any unopened Christmas or birthday gifts lying a around your house.

    There are many countries around the world that have fallen and I believe in most cases it is due to power struggles that take place and just plain old pride. Solomon said pride comes before a fall and I believe that is exactly what is happening in the Un
