Contributed by C. Philip Green on Mar 29, 2019

If you want to resolve your conflicts, expect tension at times so it doesn’t trip you up; express truth in love; but most importantly, exalt the Lord.

This last week I came across an old joke about a letter to a neighbor. It reads: Dear Frank. We've been neighbors for six tumultuous years. When you borrowed my tiller, you returned it in pieces.

Are We There Yet?

Contributed by Anthony Hodge on Jan 13, 2003

This sermon declares that being in ministry can be just as exciting as going on a family trip and just as children ask the question in the sermon’s theme, the church should continue to ask it as well.

Are we there yet? (Matthew 25:34-46) Our theme for today’s message can help many of us reflect back to our youth when we were with our parents, grandparents, other relatives or guardians. I’m referring to occasions when we were going on some type of family outing. It could have ...read more

The Hero's Power, Position, And Person Series

Contributed by Tom Fuller on Jan 31, 2012

When the religious authorities fail in their attempt to trip up Jesus with the Scriptures they descend to character assassination. They come dangerously close to eternal separation from God. How can that happen?

No one could deny that Jesus was different than anyone who had ever walked the earth. The words He spoke rang true and reamed His opponents. His actions were unmatched—healing, setting people free from possession and disease. His enemies, the Jewish leaders of the day, tried to trip Him up ...read more

Hosting Jesus, The Vip (Luke 7:36-50) Series

Contributed by Garrett Tyson on Mar 28, 2024

One host fails, but another rises up, and gives Jesus the welcome he deserves. The passage is an illustration of how and why people tripped on Jesus (Luke 7:31-35).

Flight 313 Now Boarding For Tarshish

Contributed by Mike Hamilton on Mar 4, 2003

The trip away from Nineveh, toward Tarshish "can be" a spiritual journey that many of us take when we are trying to escape our responsibility to do God’s will.

“Flight 313 Now Boarding for Tarshish” Jonah 1-2 (Read Jonah 1:1-17, 2:10) This is the story of Jonah. But isn’t it also the story of many Christians today?
