    Some Things Need To Die!

    Contributed by Michael Stark on Jul 9, 2022
     | 4,165 views

    The Follower of Christ must take responsibility for his/her life, putting to death those characteristics identified with the flesh that Christ may be seen shining through the Christian's life.

    “If then you have been raised with Christ, seek the things that are above, where Christ is, seated at the right hand of God. Set your minds on things that are above, not on things that are on earth. For you have died, and your life is hidden with Christ in God. When Christ who is your life ...read more

    We Reject Plan A And God Effects Plan B, Which Is Sweeter

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Nov 19, 2024
     | 276 views

    The Father sent His Son as His perfect image and as the perfect human to take our death upon Himself so that He might earn for us His own eternal life.

    Friday of the 33rd Week in Course 2024 The Book we call “Revelations” is surely one of the most complex literature items ever written or read. Yet these words have within them a sure picture of the reality of God’s plan. To state that plan simply: God created humans in His own image and gave ...read more

    Baptism: United With Christ

    Contributed by Ajai Prakash on Sep 25, 2025
     | 213 views

    Through baptism, believers are invited into the death of Jesus, putting to rest their former selves ruled by sin. This act is not the end but the gateway to a resurrection life, mirroring Christ’s victory over the grave.

    INTRODUCTION: We acknowledge the strongholds that have gripped this generation: addictions, mental illness, anxiety, demonic oppression, depression, toxicity in our environment, fractured relationships, and lives merely surviving rather than thriving. These and many alike are physical and emotional ...read more

     | 409 views

    To belong to Christ means our old nature, our sinful desires, have been nailed to the cross — put to death so that we may live new lives through Him.

    Go! And Crucify the Flesh: Living the New Life in Christ Galatians 5:24 (NLT) — “Those who belong to Christ Jesus have nailed the passions and desires of their sinful nature to his cross and crucified them there.” Introduction: The Call to the Cross There’s an old story of a missionary who once ...read more

    Darkness surrounds us daily. Fear whispers defeat. Thomas faced death with Jesus. Hagar faced the desert alone. Both learned God walks with those who trust Him.

    WALKING IN THE LIGHT WHEN DARKNESS THREATENS John 11:16 INTRODUCTION: FROM DESPERATION TO DIVINE ENCOUNTER Brothers and sisters, let me take you to a moment of desperation in Scripture.

     | 272 views

    Simeon’s song of salvation in Luke 2:29-32 teaches us that peace in death comes not from our grip on God, but from God’s grip on his promise.

    Introduction Charles Darwin (1809 - 1882) was an English biologist, widely known for his views on evolutionary biology. When he was dying of heart disease, Darwin confided to a friend, “I am not the least afraid to die, but I am not sure what awaits me after death.” Darwin had knowledge—but not ...read more

    Isn't it a wonderful thing to be aware of the presence of God! The psalmist said knowing that God was with him made it so that he was not afraid, even if going through the valley of the shadow of death.

    War And Peace

    Contributed by Charles Payne on Mar 26, 2025
     | 266 views

    War is one of the most complex and troubling aspects of human existence, especially from a moral and theological perspective. It brings suffering, destruction, and death—yet at times, it seems to be a necessary response to evil.

    WAR AND PEACE SCRITURE: Joel 3:9-10 (KJV) Proclaim ye this among the Gentiles; Prepare war, wake up the mighty men, let all the men of war draw near; let them come up: Beat your plowshares into swords, and your pruninghooks into spears: let the weak say, I am strong.

    What’s So Good About Good Friday Series

    Contributed by Lalachan Abraham on Apr 17, 2025
     | 435 views

    Beyond etymology, Good Friday can be called “good” because of the results of Christ’s death on the cross. Jesus’ sacrifice was a demonstration of God’s love for us (Romans 5:8).

    The significance of a person’s death depends largely on two things: who they are and what caused them to die. Good Friday, the Friday before Easter, is the Christian day to commemorate the crucifixion of Jesus and His death at Calvary. Jesús willingly suffered and died by crucifixion as the ...read more

    The Book Of Lamentations – Part 42 – Obtaining Food Could Mean Death; Starvation Caused Oven-Hot Skin; Women Were Raped By Babylon - Lamentations 5:8-11 Series

    Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Oct 10, 2025
     | 115 views

    The survivors of the Babylonian destruction had a terrible time. Even to get food was very risky, and because of starvation, the famine caused the skin to become hot, and earlier on, dry like wood. The army raped the women in all of Judah. We consider that infamy of debased men.

    THE BOOK OF LAMENTATIONS – PART 42 – OBTAINING FOOD COULD MEAN DEATH; STARVATION CAUSED OVEN-HOT SKIN; WOMEN WERE RAPED BY BABYLON - Lamentations 5:8-11 Currently we are in the last chapter of the book with all the grievances written in short statements.

    Logic For Unbelievers To Consider

    Contributed by Dennis King on Aug 28, 2018
     | 3,938 views

    When you come to a mind closed to God, Jesus, and all Biblical Truth, maybe logic can be used to begin a discussion?

    God's Grace is freely offered to all., but what if there were no Bibles, no written words showing the way to eternal salvation? Some peoples close their mind when you just mention the God or the Bible. How could you influence someone you knew had an ironclad mind against hearing God's Word? Surely ...read more
