    based on 4 ratings
     | 3,595 views

    “Everyone must submit himself to the governing authorities.” That’s easy for Paul to say. He didn’t have to deal with a tax-and-spend President, who doesn’t seem to be able to make up his mind. The President smiles nicely but is confused about foreign po

    The Joy Of Generosity Series

    Contributed by Dr. John D. Wentworth on Nov 3, 2025
     | 204 views

    God’s economy runs on joy, not guilt. Paul reminds us that giving isn’t a tax, it’s a treasure—a chance to reflect the heart of a generous God. The Lord isn’t tallying how much you give; He’s looking at the attitude behind it.

    : The Joy of Generosity: Part One Text: Malichi 3:10, 2 Cor. 9:7 Introduction: God’s economy runs on joy, not guilt.

    Contributed by Andrew Dixon on Jun 5, 2024
    based on 1 rating
     | 923 views

    Human beings are created in the image of God and the question is, ‘How are we representing the Lord as His children?’ Only those who understand their true identity in Christ will be able to reflect Him the way they should.

    We read in Matthew 22:20, He asked them, “Whose is this image and inscription?” (WEB) Jesus asked many questions to people in several situations, and we are meditating on a few of them. The question that we are considering is from the above mentioned verse where Jesus asked “Whose is this image ...read more

    based on 16 ratings
     | 27,284 views

    Nakedness is equated with sin in Scripture and Adam and Eve tried covering their nakedness with fig leaves. Do we do the same? And, if so, how successful can we be at doing that?

    The true story is told of a banquet where a famous religious leader found himself seated next to an extremely beautiful woman who was wearing a gown with a perilously low neckline. He introduced himself to her… and then offered her an apple. She was a little surprised, but he explained ...read more

    based on 105 ratings
     | 30,762 views

    It’s become fashionable for churches to "target" a specific audience in their messages and ministry. But is that really such a good idea? Is it possible that in targeting specific groups we might be undermining our real ministry?

    OPEN: In my files I ran across these nuggets of wisdom from little children: Patrick, age 10 - "Never trust a dog to watch your food." Hannah, age 9 - "When your dad is mad and asks you, ’Do I look stupid?’ don’t answer." Taylia, age 11 - "When your mom is mad at your dad, don’t let her brush ...read more

    based on 25 ratings
     | 24,865 views

    The Bible repeatedly warns us to be very careful about the kind of friends we choose. But does that mean we should never make friends of non-Christians?

    OPEN: Some time back in Germany a couple of women were driving down the autobahn when they realized they were low on gas. So they pulled over to a gas station and the driver filled her car up with gas. But then she discovered that she did not have enough money to pay the bill. So she asked her ...read more

    In a time of high emotion and turbulence Christians must carefully anchor their decisions in biblical principles. This message addresses how we must fight the current cultural battle and where the focus of our efforts must be.

    Introduction America is in a serious time of crisis. Most of us can easily see that. The crisis poses a serious question as to what we should do now.

    based on 8 ratings
     | 11,489 views

    The Sycamores of the Middle East are highly prized. And it was one such highly prized and valuable tree who's limbs held a despised and sinful man. Why was he despised and what difference did Jesus make in his life?

    OPEN: The story of Zacchaeus only occurs in the Gospel of Luke. It seems to me that its possible that, as Luke interviewed people for his Gospel, he may have spoken with Zacchaeus - and the man’s story stood out to him. It’s also possible, given that Zacchaeus’ name is used here, that he was known ...read more

    based on 74 ratings
     | 15,074 views

    Right words never exceed right deeds, though it is always best when words and deeds match one another. Jesus’ parable of the two sons urges us to repent of our empty words and to fill them with obedience.

    Who Did His Father’s Will? Matt 21:28-32 Jesus’ teaching has many places in it where it is difficult to understand what he means. And, then there are those places where his meaning is clear, but the application what he says is tricky – or so we like to think. We have one of those places in the ...read more
