     | 32,672 views

    John is often called the beloved or is referred to in the Scripture as "that disciple whom Jesus loved." What was it that made him different from the rest? Can we be like him?

    The Disciple Whom Jesus Loved John 13:21-28 (Note verse 23 “Whom Jesus Loved”) Intro: The Bible calls John in four places not by his name, but it calls him the disciple whom Jesus loved.

    The Bible is full of examples of godly mothers. Hannah is one such. She was committed to God, to her husband, and to her children.

    A Mother’s Commitment I Samuel 1 Here we are again--another Mother’s Day. Time to extol the virtuous role of motherhood. Where do we look for our role models? Hopefully, we need look no further than our own family. But alas, not all mothers are good role ...read more

    The Great High Priest

    Contributed by Lee Henry on Aug 13, 2006
    based on 16 ratings
     | 6,162 views

    The Christian’s High Priest is better than the high priest under the Law of Moses because he is both God and Human so that we can draw near to the throne of Grace with confidence for help in time of need.

    The Great High Priest Heb. 4:14-16 The theme of the book of Hebrews can be phrased in one word . . . BETTER. The book is one comparison after another of Christ and the things the Jews revered. For instance, in 1:4-7, Jesus is declared to be better than the angels. In 3:1-6, Jesus as a son is ...read more

    Builders Or Wreckers? Series

    Contributed by Matthew Street on Oct 13, 2006
    based on 3 ratings
     | 6,216 views

    Are we like Paul and Barnabas builders in God’s Kingdom or are we more concerned about doing things in the way they have always been done with the result that we like the Jews miss the new things that God is doing and become wreckers rather than builders

    Building something up is so much harder than tearing it down. We only need to think about the last time we had some redevelopment work done on our house to know that this is true. It takes no time to knock out those old windows or that old kitchen but it takes much longer to replace them. Gerald ...read more

    Christians can do Thanksgiving right

    Intro: Out of the many nations of the world, America is one of only a few that celebrates Thanksgiving Day. In most nations there is not a day set apart to offer thanks.

    based on 1 rating
     | 4,472 views

    Seeking means intentional effort to find. Finding Waldo is not always easy. Neither is finding his kingdom and his righteousness. Yet it is worth the effort.

    When I think of seeking or searching, “Where’s Waldo?” The busy pictures where you search for Waldo and other objects that often blend into the rest of the picture. You have to search and search to find him. Sometimes it is easy and it jumps right out at you but usually it is not. The ...read more

    In order to find true salvation we will need to give up on the things that we thought would get us to heaven and claim our place in heaven through Jesus Christ and be blessed by His presence.

    Giving Up to Gain Philippians 3:4-11 Intro As we travel down the pathway of life, we all have at one time or another lose sight of reality.
