Comparing The Butterfly To The Resurrection: Life And Death Examined

Contributed by Justin Steckbauer on Apr 10, 2023

We declare in faith, "He is Risen." Jesus is alive. Right now. He rose from the dead two thousand years ago. And his disciples were shocked to see him alive. Yet he had promised he would rise again.

Blinded By Seeing - Israel's Missing Messiah

Contributed by Graham Kettle on Feb 22, 2024

Before Jesus' time, rabbis separated miracles into two categories, those anyone empowered by the Holy Spirit could perform and miracles called ‘messianic miracles’ which only the Messiah could perform . Jesus demonstrated He was Messiah by the Sanhedrin's theology and teaching.

BLINDED BY SEEING - ISRAEL’S MISSING MESSIAH HOW MUCH SIGHT LEAVES YOU BLIND? Sometime before the coming of Jesus, rabbis separated miracles into two categories. First were those miracles anyone would be able to perform if they were empowered by the Spirit of God to do so. The second category of ...read more

The Government Of The Promised Son, Part 1 (Isaiah 9:6-7)

Contributed by Donald Whitchard on Jun 5, 2024

Isaiah's writings contain numerous references to the rule and person of God's Messiah. There are two specific passages worth examining. The first deals with His rule as King. The other deals with the righteous kingdom He will create and rule over forever in peace and joy.

There are verses in the Bible that bring joy and peace to the troubled soul. There are verses which give us the assurance that the promises of God are true and faithful. There are those verses which give us the affirmation that God has given us mercy and salvation we do not deserve, yet in HIs ...read more

Wednesday - An Extravagant Giver And A Ruthless Taker Series

Contributed by David Owens on Mar 21, 2022

These two stories of the extravagant giver and the ruthless taker are excellent examples of what we should and should not be. Both people were very close to Jesus, but ended up having very different reactions to him. Jesus loved them both in spite of what they did to Him.

A. We might oversimplify things by saying that the world is made up of two kinds of people: givers and takers, but there is some truth to that statement. B. I love hearing stories about big tippers and I try to be a good tipper myself. 1. A man named Greg Rubar was a waiter at D'Amico’s ...read more

Return To Me Series

Contributed by Matthew Kratz on Aug 11, 2023

In Joel 2:12-17, the prophet renews his impassioned plea to return unto the Lord through a call for repentance. This call has two facets in first a 1) Personal (Joel 2:12–14) then a 2) Corporate response (Joel 2:15–17) to God.

Joel 2:12–17. 12 “Yet even now,” declares the LORD, “return to me with all your heart, with fasting, with weeping, and with mourning; 13 and rend your hearts and not your garments.” Return to the LORD your God, for he is gracious and merciful, slow to anger, and abounding in steadfast love; and he ...read more

The Courage To Take A Stand Series

Contributed by Jeffery Anselmi on Aug 1, 2025

God calls His people to take courageous stands for truth, integrity, and faith. Today, we’ll focus on two individuals—Queen Vashti and Mordecai—and examine three moments when they took bold stands that changed history. Even when it’s costly.

• Have you ever faced a moment when doing the right thing came with a cost? • What do you do when that time comes? • Obviously you do what is right and take a stand! • Maybe. • We live in a world that often demands conformity, a world where it can feel safer to blend in, to stay silent, and to ...read more

Gender: Creation Over Confusion

Contributed by Luke Vasicek on Aug 24, 2025

Gender appears to be complicated, but really it is pretty simple. Jesus and God’s word affirm there are two genders: Male and Female. There are, however, males or females who do have physical anomalies. In certain, very rare instances, it can make it difficult to know which is which.

Why Does God Need My Money? Series

Contributed by Jeff Strite on Apr 10, 2021

One of my favorite YouTube personalities is Joe Scott ("Answers With Joe). I like him because he is a humble man who explains the deep things in understandable ways... but he also shared that he struggled with questions that made him skeptical - such as why God "needed" our offerings.

The Scope Of Grace Series

Contributed by Brian Bill on Apr 29, 2003

Many people consider it the greatest short story ever written because it speaks so truthfully to the human condition. It’s really the story of a father with two sons. One sinned when he left ­ the other sinned while staying home. We’re going to look at

The Scope of Grace Since most of you are familiar with the story of the Prodigal Son, I thought I would read a different version of it ­ it’s called the “Prodigal Son in the Key of F.” Feeling footloose and frisky, a feather-brained fellow forced his father to fork over his farthings.
