Solomon's Succinct Summary

Contributed by Robert Austin on Aug 23, 2022

As we conclude our study of this book, I want us to think back. Consider the journey that Solomon has taken us on in this book. He started off in 1:1 by saying, “Everything is futile. Everything is Vain.”

And then he walks us through all the experiences, all the pursuits, all the different ways he tried to find meaning in life. And now, after all these lessons, we come to Solomon’s Succinct Summary. His conclusion can be remembered by dividing it into 4 “R’s”, Rejoice, Remember, Reflect and ...read more

The Sign Of A Savior In Swaddling Clothes Series

Contributed by Jeff Strite on Dec 4, 2021

A good sign catches our attention and sends a clear message. What was it about the savior Jesus being wrapped and laid in a manger that God wanted us to see?

I’m going to introduce a few interesting billboards that I saw recently, but before I do, I want to point out that the mark of a good billboard/sign is that– 1) It should catch your attention and 2) It should give you a clear message.

The Survivors

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Jan 26, 2022

Today I would like to preach a sermon about faith for the storms of life.

When Christians Try To Predict The Future Series

Contributed by Jim Butcher on Nov 7, 2024

The ancient phrase "examine the liver" tells of a Babylonian way to try to predict the future. We can shake our head at that, but there's a way we do the same thing today.

“EXAMINE THE LIVER”: This was an ancient Babylonian process to try to discern the future. - Ezekiel 21:21. - I’m quite confident that I’ve never heard a sermon on this obscure phrase in this obscure corner of the Bible, but I think it’s interesting and sets up an important point about prophecy ...read more

You And Who Else?

Contributed by Alison Bucklin on Jul 3, 2023

The Pharisees paid lip service to God, but were actually operating under their own power, for their own agendas, not God's. That is why they didn't really want to be told that Jesus was operating under God's authority.

“Who do you think you are? What right have you to tell me what to think?” Has anyone ever said that to you? It’s not very pleasant. But it happened to me, once. Back when I was just starting seminary. I had run into an acquaintance of mine named Nora. She was pretty vulnerable and sensitive to ...read more

Sighs And Wonders

Contributed by Alison Bucklin on Aug 18, 2023

Even as we sigh over the evening news, and wonder when the time will come, the wars and earthquakes and floods do call us back to alertness, even if most of our neighbors are deaf to the alarms.
