Learning From God's People

Contributed by Paul Fritz on Apr 23, 2003

Will It Take A Miracle? Series

Contributed by David Asch on Jan 10, 2005

Today we are going to see Jesus Christ do something miraculous, and we will see how our perspective determines our response, or how our response gives away our perspective, which ever you prefer.

WILL IT TAKE A MIRACLE? Mark 8:1-21 INTRO: Last October, the miraculous occurred. The Anaheim Angels beat the San Francisco Giants 4 games to 3 to win the World Series.

Thank Your Way To Joy.

Contributed by Melvin Shelton on Nov 16, 2004

After Jesus healed the 10 lepers they went away and only one came back to thank Jesus for the healing. Jesus said, “Where are the 9?” 10 people experienced a miracle and only one came back to give thanks.

Contributed by Ross Cochrane on Dec 28, 2009

Exodus 18 - Who do I allow to speak into my life? Every leader needs help. No leader is truly a leader without teammates. Moses was good but not that good.

The Word Speaks Louder Than Actions Series

Contributed by Tom Fuller on Apr 26, 2009

Has God really rejected Israel forever? It’s a touchy subject, but one Paul deals with strongly in these chapters. If God has not cast them away forever, then how do they, and us, reach God? By the Word.

We’ve been talking about Israel. There are many believe that God has turned His back on those who were His people. I believe Romans 9-11 provide proof that this is not the case. Paul was so concerned about his brethren that if would have become accursed if they would come to faith. He continues ...read more

Truth Or Consequences

Contributed by Austin Mansfield on Jun 28, 2007

Jesus said “No one comes to the Father except by me.” It is clear then that not all religions are equal; that not all religions are true; and that not all religions lead us to God. Those that reject Christ lead us away from him.

In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. May the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be acceptable to you, Lord, my rock and my redeemer. Amen.

Lavish Love Series

Contributed by C. Philip Green on Apr 21, 2010

Don’t waste your life in secret, cheap acts designed to get the praise of people. Instead, give it all away in exposed, expensive, extravagant acts of devotion to our Lord, because that is what worship is all about.

An old farmer went to the city one weekend and attended the big city church. He came home and his wife asked him how it was. “Well,” said the farmer, “It was good.

Trampling The Winepress

Contributed by T.j. Conwell on Apr 24, 2014

The authority God has given Jesus Christ to literally (and physically) judge and punish those who turn away from the Father now begins to show. Jesus is no longer the sacrificial lamb, but acts in righteousness with unmerciful authority.

Contributed by Olu-Timi Lewis Afolabi on Jan 7, 2014

IN A POLLUTED WORLD LIKE OURS IT IS EXPEDIENT THAT CHRISTIANS SHOULD STAND OUT AND MAKE THE DIFFERENCE. ANYTHING THAT APPEARS LIKE EVIL SHOULD NOT BE CONDONED BY BELIEVERS IN CHRIST. THEY SHOULD DENOUNCE EVIL OUT RIGHTLY AND KEEP AWAY FROM THEM.
