    Jerked Back Into Reality

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Apr 23, 2022
     | 796 views

    The disciples were whipsawed into reality, that Christ was risen from death.

    Easter Tuesday One of the realities of life is that our little minds are quite capable of self-delusion, and on a grand scale. Most of the time we fool ourselves into thinking we understand what is going on around us–way more than we actually do understand. We kid ourselves that we are in ...read more

    Sermon # 50 - Prayer And God's Timing Series

    Contributed by Andrew Dixon on Sep 5, 2025
    based on 1 rating
     | 249 views

    Every prayer that is offered to God is taken note of and God will answer our prayers in His time and in His own way. Cornelius and Peter are great examples of the amazing ways in which God answers prayers. Let’s pray without ceasing knowing that the answer is one the way.

    For today’s meditation let us read, Acts 10:19-20, Peter was still trying to understand what the vision meant, when the Spirit said, "Listen! Three men are here looking for you. So get ready and go down, and do not hesitate to go with them, for I have sent them." (GNB) We are going to ...read more

    There are times when people for one reason or another may drift back to where they were before when they were awakened spiritually.

    PETER, REINSTATED John 21:1-19 This past Sunday, I saw a movie called “Awakenings”. It was based on a true story of the work of Dr. Sayer.

    Wouldn’t it be great if we were known as people who were “full of goodness”? As we submit to Christ, this will be said of us!

    Gliding Toward Goodness Rev. Brian Bill 7/15/01 Several people have asked us if we had a good vacation. We actually had a very good time. The weather was chilly, but good. The girls swam several times each day, went on a good boat ride, and had a good time playing in the forest. Our family ...read more

    What were the events that led to your conversion? Those events were pretty good preachers, wouldn’t you say?

    Who Is Doing The Preaching Now? Throughout the years, God has used unique ways to teach His people some very important truths. Let us take a look at a few ways and some "strange preachers" that God has chose to use, whose messages we would be wise to heed. If each one of us would think for a ...read more

Jesus was crucified in a very public place, which means many people saw what was taking place. Where do you think you would have fit in that day based on what you think about ...read more

    Both Eve and Jesus were tempted just as we are. They were tempted by Satan, who used the three root sins.

    There are many sins, but they all come from three “root sins”…three heart problems. All that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world. 1John 2:16 Three Root Sins —the lust of the flesh —the lust of the ...read more
