Let Justice Run Down

Contributed by Boomer Phillips on Apr 15, 2021

In Amos' time, justice and righteousness no longer prevailed in Israel; but rather, it had become wormwood. Wormwood is toxic, so Israel was dealing with a toxic justice system - but God was going to bring justice!

In Amos 5:24, we read, “Let justice run down like water, and righteousness like a mighty stream!” This is a verse that probably resonates with us all. We all desire justice! I read some Christian articles that predicted the year 2020 to be “the year of justice,” but I doubt anyone who made these ...read more

The Laws Of Almighty God (2 Of 5)

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Sep 5, 2024

This is the second message in this series on The Laws of Almighty God. The one thing we learned in the first sermon in this series is that a law is a proven fact, which works EVERY TIME for EVERY ONE!

Such is the case with the scientific LAW OF GRAVITY. For the law of gravity says, “What goes up must come down.” It does not matter who throws something up in the air, the law of gravity says the results will be the same every time for everyone. If this was not true, then the law of gravity ...read more

Heart of the matter Have you ever tried to buy something in an electronics store recently?

A Pickip Load Of Manure Series

Contributed by David Wilson on Feb 17, 2009

Giving unto God those things that belong to God is a bit tougher than we think!

Mark 12:13-17 “A pickup full of Manure” To understand this text we need to understand the Herodian philosophy. As these men came to try to “catch” Jesus in his words we know that their intentions were evil. The Herodians were likely part of the court of king Herod who supported his kingship ...read more

Caesar's Coin Foils Pharisees And Herodians

Contributed by Michael Tkachuk on Dec 17, 2004

Jesus’ wisdom and understanding of the Pharisee and Herodian treachery foils their attempt to trap Him in in His speech.

CAESAR’S COIN FOILS PHARISEES AND HERODIANS Luke. 20:19-26 Our Gospel lesson this morning comes immediately after Jesus tells the scribes and the chief priest the parable of the wicked tenants.

Dealing With Confrontations Series

Contributed by Paul Clemente on Mar 4, 2013

A Chance For Repentance?

Contributed by Peter Fisher on Oct 4, 2020

The chief priests and Pharisees debate with Jesus. Why does He keep doing this?

Vineyards Both our readings this morning reference vineyards. They are common in Israel, everyone would know what a vineyard was and probably quite a bit about how they operate. They are increasingly common in this country too, probably due to global heating. So for once the scriptures might be ...read more

A Warning That Bears Repeating

Contributed by Donald Whitchard on Jun 10, 2022

As the days draw nearer for the Lord's promised return, more people are choosing the wealth of the world rather than taking care of the most precious commodity they have, and that is their soul. Nothing of this world is worth the loss of eternal life with Christ.

Some time ago, I watched a series of programs that the BBC (British Broadcasting Company) had produced which centered on a variety of individuals who had encountered the Lord Jesus Christ at some point in their lives yet walked away with nothing more than faint curiosity, some conversation, or ...read more

Splagchnizomai

Contributed by Charles Mallory on Jul 18, 2024

"Splagchnizomai" is the Greek word that Mark uses to describe the depth of compassion Jesus had on the crowd of people that were like sheep without a shepherd. How can we have this kind of love?

COMPASSION FATIGUE! WHAT IS IT? THE ACTUAL DEFINITION IS “INDIFFERENCE TO CHARITABLE APPEALS ON BEHALF OF THOSE WHO ARE SUFFERING, EXPERIENCED AS A RESULT OF THE FREQUENCY OR NUMBER OF SUCH APPEALS.” COMPASSION FATIGUE IS FAR GREATER THAN JUST BEING “TIRED” AND SHOULD NOT BE MISTAKEN FOR BURNOUT. ...read more

The Lord's Prayer 4 - Learning To Call God Father: Our Father Series

Contributed by Geoffrey Foot on Aug 24, 2024

We start the Lord's Prayer in a very personal way, calling God our Father - what a privilege but it goes even deeper than that as we are taught to call God, Abba Father where Abba means daddy. All this shows us how unique the Lord's prayer is, the prayer jesus taught us to pray.

Learning to call God Father: Our Father; who is in heaven. Do you know the wonderful thing about scripture is that you can read, re-read and read again the SAME passage and each time get something different from it! Many times nothing at all but sometimes there is that flash of inspiration when ...read more
