Contributed by Denn Guptill on May 28, 2007

Communion looks to the past present and future.

It is probably one of the most memorable scenes from the New Testament.

Evangelism For The Ordinary Person

Contributed by Anonymous Contributor on Sep 5, 2006

Using Steve Sjogren’s Servant Evangelism to demonstrate how ordinary people like us can evangelize through acts of kindness.

Crash And Burn

Contributed by Pat Cook on Jun 28, 2003

I looked at the Feb 2003 S.S.Columbia disaster for 2 thoughts: 1) where do we go when hard times hit and 2) what happens when Christians wipe out and give up in their faith?

Psalm 46:1-3 – Crash and Burn Yesterday was a sad day for the world. It was not a tragedy to the same scale as September 11, 2001. In fact, even normal plane crashes take more lives than the disaster yesterday. Yet there is something very sad of the explosion of the Space Shuttle Columbia ...read more

Pouring Out Of The Bowl Judgments Series

Contributed by Jerry Cosper on May 23, 2012

There is a big difference between the bowl judgments and the other judgments. The seal judgments and the trumpet judgments will be limited judgments. But the bowl judgments are total judgment. The bowl judgments will stop man’s ungodly ways upon earth.

At the end of the world, right at the close of the period of history that the Bible calls the great tribulation there is judgment coming to this earth. There are three judgments during the last days of human history. 1. The seven seal judgments 2. The seven trumpet judgments. 3. The seven bowl ...read more

A Call For Justice

Contributed by Chris Appleby on Jan 17, 2017

Be careful what you ask for when you make a complaint to God. Sometimes God delays bringing justice to the world because the price is so high. Sometimes justice is brought about by unjust people. Be prepared to let God decide when's the right time to act.

The cry for justice is a common occurrence in our world isn't it? Injustice takes place at all sorts of levels and we wonder, why does God allow it? It's like what we saw in Psalm 73 a few weeks ago. Why do the wicked prosper? Why do the powerful get away with taking advantage of the weak and ...read more
