    What You Lose If You Neglect

    Contributed by Craig Benner on Sep 19, 2007
    based on 18 ratings
     | 7,117 views

    Anything that you own of value must be cared for. That is called maintenance. We are commanded to take care of our salvation. If not, there are at least 5 precious things we could lose.

    What you lose. Salvation is free, but the maintenance is what will cost you. Anything of value needs to be cared for, if it is to keep or gain value. God is more than willing to help us, but we have to do our part. Hebrews 2:1-3 1 ¶ Therefore we ought to give the more earnest heed to the things ...read more

    Contributed by Perry Greene on Aug 4, 2020
     | 2,097 views

    The LORD's name involves his character and reputation. As we take (on) his name we represent him and determine his influence based on our words and actions.

    1. I read that in China when young people would get out of line with public displays of affection they would take the young people to the police station along with their families and the authorities would berate the family for hours over how the incident brought shame on them and how the parents ...read more

    The Existence And Presence Of Almighty God", Part 2

    Contributed by Donald Whitchard on Apr 24, 2023
     | 1,183 views

    God's existence is obvious (Romans 1:18-20) through creation and our conscience. The evidence is there for anyone willing to take their blinders off, swallow their pride, and humble themselves.

    The world cannot comprehend the idea of a precise, preconceived, set, rational, and personal creation of a God who is outside of space, time, and matter, and able to put everything into existence for a reason. They wish to stay blind to the obvious and shut their ears to the truth that we are ...read more

     | 11,158 views

    What we do when God has us in a waiting period is very important to our outcome. Nehemiah teaches those steps we need to take through his own actions.

    Nehemiah 2 The bible tells us that Nehemiah began praying in the month of Chislev (5th month of the Persian royal calendar.) Chapter 2 begins in the 9th month, which is called Nisan. Distressed by the report of Jerusalem’s broken and miserable condition, Nehemiah approached God on behalf of the ...read more

    Why Pray?

    Contributed by Gregory Lilly on Jan 10, 2013
    based on 4 ratings
     | 7,565 views

    So many people do not use one of the greatest resource that the believer has, and that is prayer. Do you think of prayer as something to use only in an emergency? Do you believe you have a better hold on your life than God could? Do you want any thing out

    James 4:1-3 Intro: Prayer, which allows the believer to communicate with God each day and at any time, is one of the most neglected resources we have in God. The average believer oftentimes considers prayer the last resort, only used when life gets out of hand. In this ...read more

     | 5,399 views

    Today I’ll try and lay a foundation to build on as we start. From what we read, we’re told that it was pinned down about “95-96 A.D.” It was never God’s intention to hold back the meaning of the Revelation, but to show and to make known it’s meaning.

    REVELATION # 1 REV. 1: INTRO: - 4-18-09 Today we’ll began a study of the book of the “REVELATION OF JESUS CHRIST” ***and I’m sure we’ll be here awhile but we’re in no hurry. Today I’ll try and lay a foundation to build on as we start. From what we read, ...read more

    Raw Honesty

    Contributed by Matt Hoffmann on Sep 9, 2009
    based on 17 ratings
     | 13,356 views

    "I believe, help my unbelief" is a confession of sin and of faith that takes real courage to make. In the Cross we know what God’s response to us is and forever will be.

    Mark 9:14-29 Today the Word of God that engages us is from Mark chapter 9. In the middle of these verses is one God-Inspired phrase that has been a real help to me on my own journey of faith. Words spoken first by a man who had the courage to be truly honest with himself, and honest with God. ...read more

     | 10,400 views

    This is a rewrite of Jeffrey Sims’ message of the same title. The pouring of water on the wood not only helped confirm to the spectators the miraculous nature of the fire, but it symbolized the impossibly of revival taking place.

    God has a plan for taking the monsters we face in the world and our personal lives. The SON OF MAN finds fulfillment in Jesus, who overcomes by the cross, resurrection, ascension, and return.

    TAMING THE MONSTERS—Daniel 7 ***When our son was about six, we asked him what he wanted to be when he grew up. His answer surprised us: He wanted to be monster-handler.

     | 13,223 views

    God is delighted and able to take the misfits and rejected of society, and patiently turn them into world shakers and world changers for the Kingdom of God! All he needs is a surrendered and committed life.

    Acts 4:1-13 KJV And as they spake unto the people, the priests, and the captain of the temple, and the Sadducees, came upon them, 2 Being grieved that they taught the people, and preached through Jesus the resurrection from the dead. 3 And they laid hands on them, and put them in hold unto ...read more
