Elevate To The Next Level - "The People God Uses”

Contributed by Dennis Lee on Jun 29, 2025

One of the greatest needs in the church is for people who will not only serve, but who will also lead. It is about those who will invest themselves in the lives of others. I see four examples in Nehemiah’s first actions that separates him, not only as a leader but as a person that God uses.

Contributed by Alison Bucklin on Jul 14, 2025

Even the most noble and selfless kind of human love is inadequate to define God’s love. Because human love and divine love are different.

When I was a little girl going to Sunday School, and used to come home with questions, my mother was in kind of a dilemma. You see, she didn’t believe in God. She thought there was a lot of good stuff in the Bible, as long as you left God out of it. “Do unto others as you would have them do unto ...read more

Father Abraham Had Many Sons

Contributed by David Dunn on Sep 26, 2025

Jesus used a familiar Jewish story to show who the true children of Abraham are. The only bridge across the chasm of sin is the cross and resurrection of Jesus Christ.

(Father Abraham and Lazarus) If you could overhear a live conversation between heaven and hell, would you lean in? Many people read Jesus’ story of the rich man and Lazarus as though He lowered a microphone into the afterlife to let us hear a dialogue across eternity. For centuries preachers ...read more

Father Forgive Them Series

Contributed by Allan Quak on Feb 27, 2018

On the cross Jesus takes time to repeatedly pray, "Father forgive them." The crowd and the spiritual leaders and the Romans may not know what they are doing, but Jesus knows and then dies for them.

The Inter Stress Of Involvement Series

Contributed by Dennis Davidson on Jun 8, 2015

We may not identify with Paul's physical sufferings as some of our international brethren can who are persecuted for their faith. But in this success oriented society we can identify with the inter-stress of which he speaks.
