Advance Through Arrest Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Mar 28, 2021

Jesus indicates that one of the key ways of getting the Gospel spread would be through the courts. The persecution would lead to opportunities to defend the Gospel before high officials and leaders in high places.

There is a difference between sin and error. It I say 2+2=5 I am in error, but I am not sinning. That is, if my motive is to come to a right answer I am not sinning.

Harvest Is Bigger. God Does More.

Contributed by Simon Bartlett on Oct 1, 2022

At our harvest festival we usually think of food, crops. But we need to expand our concept of harvest. We also need to recognize just how much God is involved in providing for us.

Today is our Harvest Thanksgiving service. It’s a time to thank God for the harvest. But what exactly are we thanking God for? I want to do two things today. The first thing is to encourage us to see harvest as something bigger than what the combine harvester picks up. The second thing is to ...read more

Do I Have To Pay Someone To Teach Me How To Pray?

Contributed by Chris Swanson on Oct 22, 2022

Why would anyone need to pay to learn how to pray when it is clear that the Lord told us how in the Bible?

I recently read an article where someone was charging people nearly $1500.00 to attend a seminar on how to learn to pray. Let us look at Luke 11:1-13. 1. And it came to pass, that, as he was praying in a certain place, when he ceased, one of his disciples said unto him, Lord, teach us to pray, as ...read more

Contributed by Benjamin Utomo on Jul 1, 2023

Many preachers and Christian leaders often quote on the Fourth of July or Memorial Day 2 Chronicles 7:14. They believe the “people” referred to in the passage are the American people, and the “land” is the American land. Can we apply this verse to America and our home countries today?
