    Our Daily Bread

     | 10,798 views

    Jesus is the Bread of Life and is always enough for our daily needs. Not only that but He leaves enough overflowing fragments for us to bless others.

    OUR DAILY BREAD The first part of the 8th chapter of Mark tells us of the great miracle that Jesus performed when he fed 4000 men with only 7 loaves of bread and few small fish. (In one other instance in Matthew chapter 14, Jesus had fed 5000 with only 5 loaves and two fish.) Right on the heels ...read more

    Journey In, Journey Out Series

    Contributed by Robert Higgins on Apr 17, 2008
     | 4,704 views

    The primary source of our failure to be externally focused Christians and an inside out church is found in the tension between the development of the inward life the saint and his outward life.

    1. I have been talking about letting God turn us inside out. a. Most of my emphasis over these past few weeks has been about letting God use you, about getting your focus off of “your wants and desires” and paying attention to what God is doing and how He wants to change the world through you. b. ...read more

    The Evidence Of Salvation

    Contributed by Rick Kallstrom on Jan 28, 2003
    based on 67 ratings
     | 18,539 views

    What we do know is that the Bible teaches us very clearly that after a person has received salvation through Jesus that a change should take place in their lives. There should be visible evidence of their salvation!

    The most important decision that any of us has ever made, or will ever make in our lifetime, is to accept Jesus Christ as our personal Lord and Savior, and to receive salvation. God never wanted to have to send His Son to die for us, but He knew it was the only way. The Bible tells us in Jon ...read more

    How many of you are fighting a battle against things or circumstances that appear to be invincible?

    I would like to begin today with a question. How many of you think that the more you try, the less territory you gain? In other words, how many of you are fighting a battle against things or circumstances that appear to be invincible? I ask these questions because many of us are confronted with ...read more

    A Post Resurrection appearance of Jesus that mirrors the gospel and invites us to follow him

    The 21st chapter of John’s Gospel is one of the strangest and most mysterious chapters in the gospel. It is such that, if this chapter didn’t exist at the end of John’s Gospel (and you only had chapters 1 to 20) there is no way under heaven that you guess that it existed! You ...read more

    Shades of opinion in the Christian church. We shall all appear before Christ.

    BROTHERS TOGETHER. Romans 14:1-12. This passage has much to say about receiving one another in the Lord. Paul defines “the weak in the faith” (Romans 14:1) as those who have scruples about what they eat (Romans 14:2). Do not “despise” them, warns Paul; but he also warns the weak not to ...read more

    Jesus--Crazy Or Victorious?

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Jan 18, 2023
     | 862 views

    It appears here that the relatives of Jesus want to have Him committed to a mental ward.

    Saturday of the 2nd week in Course 2023 Today’s Gospel is one of the shortest readings in the Lectionary. If you don’t pay attention, it’s over before you can grasp it. Why? Mark’s community of Rome was under almost constant persecution. So he took mostly Matthew’s Gospel and abridged it, ...read more

    Holiness Series

    Holiness is the gift of an identity, appearing to be too good to be true, but received by accepting forgiveness.

    Today’s message is framed by incidents provided by two church members. I will not be naming the players, but they have given me both the beginning and the ending of this message on holiness. The beginning: a few days ago one of you told me that you came to worship each Sunday so that you could ...read more
