    Spirituality Or Materialism

    Contributed by Michael Koplitz on Sep 27, 2022
     | 1,910 views

    Jesus spoke about the need for spiritualism as much as the need for materialism. Spiritualism must outweigh materialism.

    Spirituality or Materialism John 6:25-34 Rev. Dr. Michael H. Koplitz 25 When they found Him on the other side of the sea, they said to Him, “Rabbi, when did You get here?” 26 Jesus answered them and said, “Truly, truly, I say to you, you seek Me, not because you saw signs, but because you ate of ...read more

    Easter: On Being Afraid

    Contributed by Ryan Ferwerda on Mar 31, 2024
    based on 1 rating
     | 491 views

    In the Gospel of Mark the Easter story, and the whole Gospel, ends with those closest to Jesus being afraid. Just as Jesus met them in their fear, so too will Jesus meet us.

    "Trembling and bewildered, the women went out and fled from the tomb. They said nothing to anyone, because they were afraid." (Mark 16:8, NIV) When we look at the four accounts of the Resurrection story in the four gospels, we see a common thread running through at least three of the ...read more

    How Can We Relate To Jesus Baptism?

    Contributed by Michael Koplitz on Apr 2, 2024
     | 608 views

    What do I do as a newly baptized Christian? This also applies to Christians who have become apathetic. They need to think about what their baptism meant. For Christ it meant to go out to do God's work.

    How can we relate to Jesus baptism? Luke 3:21 – 22 Rabbi Rev. Dr. Michael H Koplitz 21 Now when all the people were baptized, Jesus was also baptized, and while He was praying, heaven was opened, 22 and the Holy Spirit descended upon Him in bodily form like a dove, and a voice came out of ...read more

    Come Holy Spirit

    Contributed by Ajai Prakash on May 17, 2024
     | 958 views

    It was on this day, in the Book of Acts, that the Holy Spirit was poured out on 120 Followers of Christ who were gathered in an Upper Room at Jerusalem. It was on this day that the Church was born in a “Blaze of Glory.”

    OPENING ILLUSTRATION: Play the video on “Holy Spirit.” The word “Pentecost” designates the 50th day after Passover, which was a Feast Day. Also known as the Feast of Weeks or Feast of Harvest. It was a time when Israel celebrated Moses receiving the Ten Commandments from God. It was on this day, ...read more

     | 587 views

    then I realized that God uses not just our gifts, but our thorns too

    Country music often tells stories about real life problems, thus the joke, “What do you get when you play country music backward?” You get back your wife, your dog, and your truck. One song tells about a man taking his beloved wife, whom he truly loves, to his 10th High School reunion, where he ...read more

    Alternate Theory Of Creation No. 4 -Progressive Creationism

    Contributed by Donald Whitchard on May 25, 2023
     | 1,224 views

    This is the last of four messages on the alternatives of creation often presented to skeptics and the scientific community apart from what is described in Genesis 1. This final message deals with "progressive creationism", another example of the futility of man's "wisdom".

    We have looked at four alternative theories that some Christians use to either defend or explain to a skeptical world how everything came into being instead of what is clearly presented in Genesis 1. The world system took advantage of our withdrawal from the scientific community soon after the ...read more

    Why did a lawyer question Jesus? Best part is the answer. Jesus disciples are expected to follow the laws in the Torah that apply to loving God and neighbor
