    Contributed by Daren Mitchell on Jun 26, 2014
     | 3,706 views

    How do you respond to the sacrifice of Jesus? Do you ignore him? Do you try to live with him but justify your sin at the same time? Or are you a disciple of Jesus?

    For the last few Sundays we've been walking through the book of First John. We imagined a courtroom scene and the apostle John is on the witness stand under oath. He's the last apostle of Jesus alive and he was the best friend of Jesus, too. He knows Jesus better than anyone, so who better to ...read more

    Contributed by John Gaston on Mar 12, 2022
     | 3,043 views

    The story of the Good Samaritan was Jesus' way of blasting our excuses for trying to get out of obeying God to demonstrate compassion for the needy. An escape clause is a device in a contract to elude responsibility!

    LOOKING FOR THE ESCAPE CLAUSE?...The Good Samaritan Luke 10:25-37 INTRODUCTION A. HUMOR: 3 LAWYER JOKES 1. JOKE 1: A lawyer died and went to Heaven. “There must be some mistake,” the lawyer argued. “I’m too young to die. I’m only 55.” “Fifty-five?” said Saint Peter. “No, according to our ...read more

    Prophets In Our Lives

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Jul 2, 2024
     | 623 views

    A true friend might try to tell me the truth, but I reject his words or her suggestions. Our friend is acting prophetically toward us. That is an act of love, real love.

    Fourteenth Sunday in Course 2024 “Heed or resist, you rebels, you will know a prophet has been among you!” Today’s words from Ezekiel were not just for the Jewish leaders who had abandoned true worship of the One God, the Lord, for the obscene worship ceremonies centered around Baal and Astarte. ...read more

    Counselors say that complainers are the hardest people in the world to help. You can’t satisfy them, but they won’t let you stop trying, so you end up feeling trapped.

     | 12,386 views

    There are so many voices out there trying to get us to play the game of greed, but we are much better off if we listen to the voice of God calling us to be content with what we have.

    The Game of Greed I Kings 21:1-10 June 24, 2007 Now, this is my opinion. Feel free to agree or disagree. I really believe that network television programming is at an all time low for creativity.

    As we come to the last part of Matthew 26, we will see that those intent on trying Jesus were filled with prejudice because their minds were made up before they heard all the facts.
