     | 2,649 views

    Prayer (Part 3)

    Contributed by Scott Bayles on Apr 12, 2019
     | 5,411 views

    The Bible urges, "Pray without ceasing." But how do we do that? Well, we can start by giving God our waking thoughts, our waiting thoughts, our worrying thoughts, and our waning thoughts.

    Prayer (3) Scott Bayles, pastor Adapted from a sermon by Max Lucado titled “Have you Prayed About It?” Blooming Grove Christian Church: 3/15/2015 Two weeks ago we began this short series on prayer. Like I said before, we all pray. According to a poll reported in USA Today, nine out of ten ...read more

    Complaints Against A Gracious God

    Contributed by Michael Stark on Aug 17, 2023
    based on 1 rating
     | 2,095 views

    It is a vain and futile thing to complain against God Who is gracious. A study of the descent of Israel into complaining serves to warn us against charging God with error.

    “They sinned still more against [God], rebelling against the Most High in the desert. They tested God in their heart by demanding the food they craved. They spoke against God, saying, 'Can God spread a table in the wilderness? He struck the rock so that water gushed out and streams ...read more

This passage comes at the end of the Lord’s Sermon on the Mount in which he gives the beatitudes...shows the importance of his believers in the world (salt of the earth)...tells the Jews that he is the fulfillment of the Law of Moses...gives a new view ...read more

    The thought of Miracles occurring today raise questions in the minds of many believers: here are some thoughts to ponder.

    God, Man, & Miracles I. Introduction A. We use the term “miracle” very lightly today. 1. It’s a miracle someone made a last minute shot. 2. Miracle Whip, not mayonnaise!

    As terrible a thing it would be to have received God’s grace in vain how much worse to have never sought to accept the gift at all!

    Seven Reasons Why The Resurrection Of Christ Is So Important

    Contributed by Benjamin Utomo on Apr 15, 2025
    based on 1 rating
     | 1,444 views

    The resurrection is not only a fundamental part of the Gospel, but it is the glue that holds every part of the Gospel together. Without it, Christians are believing in vain and are without hope.

    Opening: Unlike other religions, Christianity is based on Christ Jesus: His incarnation to be a Man, His life and teachings, His death and resurrection, His ascension to heaven, and His second coming.  Christ is the center of Christianity. No Christ, no Christians, or no Christ’s followers! ...read more
