No Room For Jesus

Contributed by David Owens on Dec 23, 2024

When Jesus was born, there was no room for them in the inn and so they had to stay in a stable. That physical reality represents a spiritual reality that also occurred. There was no room for Jesus in the lives and hearts of many people of that time and the same reality continues today.

Harassed For Jesus Series

Contributed by Fred Sigle on May 20, 2024

A study of the Beatitudes. Jesus begins His sermon on the mount answering the question: "What will it take to make you happy?" His answer, however, is far different from the way most people will answer. In fact, his answers appear to bring sorrow, not happiness.

PURSUIT OF HAPPYNESS: HARASSED FOR JESUS ILLUSTRATION: In His book, Lords of the Earth, Don Richardson, author of PEACE CHILD, tells the story of Stanley Dale, a MISSIONARY to the Yali Tribe deep in the Irian Jaya JUNGLE of Indonesia in 1968.

On The Road With Jesus

Contributed by Warner Pidgeon on Sep 28, 2006

Jesus taught the disciples but they did not always understand! This short homily encourages listeners to ask questions; it also reminds us that God knows about everything we do; and that is both comforting and challenging.

When we turn to God’s word, seeking the voice of God, there is always plenty to hear; and this short Bible event is packed full of God’s wisdom, and God’s call to us. Jesus ...read more

Breathing New Life Into The Church

Contributed by Fred Sigle on Mar 19, 2007

There are churches (and individual Christians) who look at the trouble and hardships their dealing with and feel that God has forsaken them. They feel like their spiritual life is being sapped right out of them, and are on the brink of giving up.

BREATHING NEW LIFE IN THE CHURCH A. How is your WALK with Christ? 1. I think most Christians will answer that question with, "It’s good." COMMENT: Deep down, however, something is MISSING. You can’t quite put your finger on it, but the JOY you once had in Christ is DIMINISHING. ...read more

An examination of the meeting of Jesus and Pontius Pilate and the lessons that can be gained from their encounter, concerning the nature of civil authority and our relationship to it.

They wanted Rome to take the blame. The evil Jewish authorities played Pontius Pilate like a fiddle to ...read more

Is Jesus Enough?

Contributed by Stephen Belokur on Sep 26, 2017

In 1 Corinthians there was an atmosphere of chaos and so the apostle Paul writes a letter. And in that letter he reminds them of the focal point of what he taught them when he was there and that is, "Jesus Christ and Him crucified." Is that all they need?

Please open your Bibles to 1 Corinthians 2:1-5 which we will read in a few minutes. The church in Corinth in the Bible was filled with problems. The simple act of communion had been perverted into a feast for the rich to gorge themselves in front of those who were poor and had no food. The ...read more
