Living For Christ

Contributed by Jerry Flury on Mar 12, 2011

His Explanation Series

Contributed by John Lowe on Mar 18, 2018

The Book of Revelation “War, Famine, and Death” Revelation 6:3-8 Whenever I think of the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse the song by the Doors always pops into my head that these four horsemen are the Riders on the Storm. As I listen to what’s being said over the airways, many ...read more

Surrendering Credentials To Christ

Contributed by Kerry Haynes on Mar 13, 2016

If we're not careful, we can get caught up in the world's system of polishing that pedigree. Rather, like the Apostle Paul, we need to surrender all to the great goal of knowing more intimately Christ our Lord. Everything else is secondary.

Philippians 3:4-14 Surrendering Credentials to Christ Any top-blockers here? Any type-A personalities? Any hard chargers who consistently rank in the top percentile? The military is basically an up-or-out system, so it attracts into career service those who are driven to succeed. Many of you are ...read more

Contributed by Dr. Jonathan Vorce on Aug 21, 2017

Complications Of The New Birth Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Mar 20, 2021

In the spiritual realm it has always been possible to have babies after you are dead. The Apostle Paul gave birth to many new babies for the kingdom of God in his lifetime, but he has given birth to millions more after his death.

Can dead people have babies? If you think not, you have not kept up on modern technology in baby making. They can now freeze human embryos in liquid nitrogen at a temperature of 321 degrees below zero and keep them for up to 600 years, and then implant them in a woman, and she will have a baby. ...read more

Christian Cleverness Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Mar 22, 2021

The first impeachment trial of a President of the United States began on March 30, 1868. The 54 Senators were at their desks in the Senate Chamber, and at the front was Chief Justice Salmen P. Chase of the Supreme Court, who would preside over the trial. The President himself was not there. He ...read more

Go! And Finish Well - Acts 20:24 Series

Contributed by Dean Courtier on May 27, 2025

The world often measures success by how much we gain, how far we climb, and how well we are known. But the Apostle Paul teaches us to measure life by how faithfully we fulfil the mission Christ has given us.

The Reality Of The Rapture Series

Contributed by Christopher Benfield on Jan 6, 2021

Stay Vigilant

Contributed by Masimba Murisa on Aug 29, 2025

As we navigate life as believers in the Lord Jesus Christ we encounter storms and difficulties. The Apostle Peter warns us to stay vigilant or careful, alert as we have an adversary the devil who does not want to see us win and triumph in life.

The devil is on assignment to take us out and derail our lives. Most believers live their Christian lives not realizing that we have an adversary who is on assignment to steal, kill and destroy their lives according to (John 10:10) -When trouble comes which it will do at some point in our lives, ...read more
