Justice Versus Injustice Series

Contributed by Kevin Ruffcorn on Feb 16, 2010

Jesus curses both the fig tree and teh temple for their fruitlessness. Rather than standing for justice and assisting the poor, the temple has sided with Roman Imperialism and in doing so has promoted injustice.

Mark 11:12-21 “Justice versus Injustice” INTRODUCTION What do you do if you do not reach a goal for which you were striving? Do you give up, try again, make a different goal, or do something else? What do you do if your children fail to live up to your expectations—your ...read more

Marked Men

Contributed by Joseph Smith on Jan 22, 2009

Cain’s problem is ours: we are fearful and anxious if someone else seems to be getting ahead of us, and our anxiety is the root of our violence. But in God’s curse there is a mercy and a clue for brotherliness.

For today’s message we are going back to the earliest moments in human history to look at one of the most basic issues in human life. We are looking at the way we feel about differences, and what we do about that feeling. The Book of Genesis, in its opening stories, teaches us about what it means ...read more

Salvation Soul And Body

Contributed by Colin Mcgeer on Jun 28, 2023

Heaven is great, but no one is in a hurry to get there. It is God's will to heal the sick. Christ has redeemed us from the curse of the law. Therefore we live to manifest heaven on earth.

I have been in the ministry now for over 40 years. My First congregation was senior people. People in the church who were on pension. Some were single because either their wife or husband had died. In all cases, if an elderly person was dying, I never ever met any family member who did not feel ...read more

Job 2

Contributed by Bruce Ball on Sep 5, 2019

This is the second attempt by Satan to get Job to curse God after the first attempt failed. This shows that true lovers of the Lord will remain true lovers of the Lord, even in times of deep trouble or grief.

Last Sunday, we talked about how Job lost everything he had, including all physical property along with all his children. And how, even though he suffered, he did not blame God, but chose to worship God instead. Today, Satan gives him another test designed to test his loyalty to God, and we will ...read more

The Dumb Donkey Spoke.

Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Mar 19, 2025

The King who feared a people who were no threat to him; the blind Seer and dumbfounded Soothsayer who could neither see nor curse; and the dumb donkey who saw and spoke for God.

THE DUMB DONKEY SPOKE. Numbers 22:21-31. After Israel’s defeat of the Amorites, who had once conquered lands belonging to Moab (cf. Numbers 21:26), the Moabites were terrified at the presence of the children of Israel (cf. Numbers 22:2-3). [They need not have been, because the LORD had expressly ...read more

The Last Conquered Enemy

Contributed by Donald Whitchard on Jan 21, 2023

The death and resurrection of Jesus Christ for our sins is a visible testimony of victory and the assurance from the LORD God Almighty that the curse of sin, death, hell, and the grave are conquered forever, and that Jesus is LORD of all.

The evidence for the existence, ministry, influence, death, and resurrection of the Lord Jesus Christ should be as plain as day to anyone who is willing to examine the facts, do their own research, quit letting other people do their thinking for them, and avoid the sophistry of so-called ...read more

Sentence Pronounced On Cain Series

Contributed by John Lowe on Sep 1, 2018

There is, as usual, a grain of truth mingled with the amazing falsehood of this surly response. No man is the absolute keeper of his brother, to the extent he is responsible for his safety when he is not present. This is what Cain means to insinuate.

September 27, 2013 Commentary on the Book of Genesis By: Tom Lowe Lesson I.C.2: Sentence Pronounced on Cain Gen. 4.9-15 (KJV) 9 And the LORD said unto Cain, Where is Abel thy brother? And he said, I know not: Am I my brother's keeper? 10 And he said, What hast thou done? the voice of thy ...read more

Laws Written On Hearts

Contributed by Sam Mccormick on Jul 19, 2017

Perhaps Jeremiah's best-known prophecy was "...I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel and the house of Judah, not like the covenant I made with their fathers...I will put my law within them, and I will write it on their hearts." What law?

The 2nd Thief Series

Contributed by Jeff Strite on Apr 18, 2011

Both thieves on the cross insulted Jesus... to begin with. Why did the 2nd thief refuse to accept the love and promises of Christ? What drove him to curse Jesus even as he was dying?

When the police arrest a suspect – what’s the first thing they are required by law to do? That’s right - “read him his rights”. "You have a right to remain silent ..." etc. What’s the official name for that process? The Miranda Warning. When a suspect has been read his rights they often say ...read more

Antioch

Contributed by Bala Samson on Apr 3, 2014

We need to like our church because it has transformed us, redeemed us from the pit of sin, washed away our sins and curse, has taught us the Bible and the ways of God.
