The Prayer Of Love Series

Contributed by Jeff Strite on Feb 14, 2021

John 17 is the longest prayer of Jesus in the entire Gospels. It's sometimes referred to as Christ's High Priestly prayer... but I regard that as being a far too sterile description of what is truly Jesus' prayer of love for His bride.

Children have very simple views of life… and of love. The following are children’s views on the topic of love. A 7 year old said – “If falling love is anything like learning how to spell, I don’t want to do it. It takes too long.” A 5 year old boy – “Once I’m in kindergarten, I’m going to find me ...read more

Prayer Doesn't Fix Everything, But It Changes Everything

Contributed by Wayne Lawson on Feb 23, 2021

Because of God's perfect wisdom, I trust Him to determine what is best for me, along with His perfect timing. Sometimes the mere timing of the answer is a miracle in itself to show that it truly came from God and not something of our own Power or Volition

Our God Is An Awesome God Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Mar 10, 2021

This Psalm we are looking at doesn't even soar into space. It stops earth bound, and still it deals with a God who is truly awesome. He is awesome, not because of His creation and what He has done, but because of His character, and what He is.

Everett Fullam was in Libera in 1969 when the two Americans, Armstrong and Aldin walked on the moon. He told the Gheo tribe chief this was happening, and the old man looked up to the moon and said, "There's nobody up there." He sounded angry and added, "Besides, that is not big ...read more

Sermon # 14 - The Way Of The Cross Part 3 - Who Is Jesus To You? Series

Contributed by Andrew Dixon on Apr 17, 2025

The people in Jesus’ day had various perception of who He was, but Peter the disciple of Jesus truly understood who Jesus was. The important question we need to ask ourselves is, “Who is Jesus to us personally?” The answer to this is vital both for now and for eternity.

We read in Matthew 16:13, Now after coming into the parts of Caesarea Philippi, Jesus questioned His disciples, saying, "Who do men declare Me, the Son of man, to be?" (AFV) The above was the question that Jesus asked His disciples. Jesus had performed so many miraculous signs and ...read more

God See's Different

Contributed by Jung Lee on Jan 15, 2024

In 1 Samuel 16, the Bible tells us, 'People look at the outward appearance, but the Lord looks at the heart.' This simple line is so powerful. It reminds us that what truly matters is not how we look on the outside but what's in our hearts.

Today, I want us to think about the world around us. It's very different from the world we read about in the Bible. In our time, influenced by media and the internet, there's a big focus on looking good and staying healthy. Social media, TV, and other media often set high standards for ...read more

False Conversion And Its Rotten Harvest

Contributed by Donald Whitchard on Jul 7, 2021

The Lord Jesus warns that not everyone who calls Him, "LORD" is truly His servant. Works done in His name do not necessarily demonstrate a genuine love for Him. This is a terrifying illustration of false conversion, and what to do about it before it is too late.

Lesson 8: For Their Continued Growth Series

Contributed by John Lowe on Jul 23, 2018

God should be recognized in even the simplest affairs of life―didn’t Paul instruct believers to, “Pray about everything”? It was never God’s intention for man to direct his own steps; and only those journeys where God is the pilot are truly prosperous.

Prisoner Of The Winds?

Contributed by John Gaston on Aug 14, 2017

Jephthah had a truly tragic beginning to his life. Hated, despised, driven out. Despite all odds he kept his walk with God, trained for future victory, and was raised by God to be Judge over all Israel. We aren't at the mercy of circumstances!

Who Is This Man?

Contributed by Christopher Benfield on May 21, 2017

As Jesus went to Jerusalem for the Feast of Tabernacles, whispers spread throughout the crowd. Although unsure He was even present, Jesus became the topic of discussion. Many wondered about this man who He truly was. We too must decide who Jesus is.

Who is this Man? John 7: 1-13 Our text deals with events that happened during the Feast of Tabernacles. This was a time of celebration and thanksgiving.

Contributed by Kerry Haynes on Sep 30, 2018

When we're truly saved, we will always belong to Jesus. So what does he mean when he says to lose an arm or a leg or gouge out an eye of it's keeping you from heaven? Jesus calls us to radical obedience.
