    God intends for the church to be the instrument of redemption, full-faceted, and intends for us, though we may think we are inadequate, to be its agents. Challenge your imaginations as to what the church might be able to do by letting God do what He is a

    If you were to ask the average person, out on the street, what he thinks of the church, what answers might you get? What do people think about churches? I’m sure I don’t know the half of it. But I know some of the things they say: They say that church is all talk. Ceaseless talk. Noisy gongs and ...read more

    Disappointment can be a cancer and a poison to the church. The church must learn that disappointments are part of growth.

    THE PREACHER MADE ME MAD! DISAPPOINTED AND BROKEN! By Wade Martin Hughes, Sr., Kyfingers@aol.com I do this lesson in two or three parts. The church needs to let go of disappointments and cling to the CROSS. TEXT: 2 Samuel 17:23  And when Ahithophel saw that his counsel was not followed, he ...read more

    Bill Cosby has a routine about little old ladies who stand around looking cool.

    Promises To Keep Before I Sleep Series

    based on 41 ratings
     | 12,054 views

    As young people we make many naive promises, which are diluted by the demands of the day. But God sends people to intervene with the truth, so that at the end we are able to praise Him for the grace that helps us feel some degree of fulfillment.

    The shouts of today are so loud that I do not hear the echoes of yesterday, nor do I listen to the faint whispers of tomorrow. All I really know is what is clamoring in my ear right here, right now. That makes me lose perspective. The shouts of today are so insistently loud that I do not hear ...read more

    Confronting Mammon

    Contributed by Robert Grey on Nov 4, 2002
    based on 19 ratings
     | 7,611 views

    Mammon is a very powerful force in the world today that ties people into a financial system that prevents the people of God from effectively preaching the Gospel. The story of how Abraham tithed after rescuing Lot gives some important principles.

    Background. Abraham had two brothers, Nahor and Haran. They and their father Terah lived in Ur of the Chaldees. This city, famous for the worship of the Moon God, was located on the banks of the Euphrates near the Persian Gulf, just before the Tigris River enters into it. In Ur, the Stela of ...read more

    based on 55 ratings
     | 7,751 views

    We have taken our cues about how to have fun from the wrong places. When Jesus parties, he includes rather than excludes the misfits; he goes not to participate nor to criticize, but to listen and redeem; and when you party with Jesus, you have joy and z

    Suppose you gave a party and Jesus showed up! What would that do to your party? He wasn’t on the invitation list, He didn’t RSVP, but here He comes, making a beeline straight at you, with arms outstretched in greeting, and about twelve of his best buds looking eagerly at the buffet table. ...read more

    The story of Lot’s wife, and Jesus reminder to "Remember"...

    He sat there at the gate of the city, watching the sun as it started its descent over the roof tops of the skyline of the city and slowly disappeared into the western horizon.

    Just Say No Series

    Contributed by Joseph Smith on Jul 24, 2003
    based on 15 ratings
     | 6,826 views

    Like Job’s friend Zophar, we eagerly find faults with others, thinking that pointing out their mistakes is all that is needed, and failing to build a relationship first. Contrast with Christ, who "became sin" for us.

    We are studying the very human issue of faultfinding during this Lenten season. We are using the story of Job and his friends, if you call them that, as they tried to console him, no, really, instruct him in his misery. Eliphaz, Bildad, and Zophar, three miserable comforters, Job said, because ...read more
