Possessing God's Promises

Contributed by Kraig Pullam on Feb 18, 2014

The calling of Joshua gives clear instruction to those on the edge of greatness when going into unchartered territory

Recently I came across an article that described the Cherokee Indian youth's rite of passage from boyhood to manhood? In this ritual the father leaves his son alone in a forest blindfolded.

I Will Not Give To God Anything That Costs Me Nothing Series

Contributed by Jeremiah Menyongai on Oct 2, 2016

David said: "I won’t make an offering to God that doesn’t cost me something." What a great passage on demonstration of faith in God. Listen! To give without sacrifice is not to give at all. Ornan and David sacrificed but I believe Ornan sacrificed more.

Parables Of The Unjust Steward, Rich Man And Lazarus Series

Contributed by John Lowe on Oct 25, 2017

Some people think that anyone Jesus mentions in a parable is a hero or an example of a noble character. If that’s what you think, then be prepared for a shock, because two of these men are really bad characters.

Perea Parables of the Unjust Steward, Rich Man and Lazarus Luke 16:1-31 Parable of the Unjust Stewart This parable has been greatly misunderstood, and one of the reasons is because it looks as though our Lord is commending a crook. The steward is a full-blown crook. Some people think that ...read more

Developing And Maintaining Spiritual Disciplines - Part 4 Series

Contributed by Chuck Brooks on Nov 5, 2020

Today, I'll be speaking on the topic of giving...

The offering plate has been given a bad rap. If an offering plate could talk I wonder what it would say: * "Did you find that on the floor next to the bubble gum machine!" * "It's going to take hours to count all this change!" Perhaps the offering plate would say, ...read more

Storms That Give Us Strength

Contributed by Steve Taylor on Nov 26, 2017

Struggles and devastation: we've felt them, we've seen them, and we've experienced them. They hurt, they linger, they hold us down, and they discourage us. We must understand that there will be storms.

Struggles and devastation: we've felt them, we've seen them, and we've experienced them. They hurt, they linger, they hold us down, and they discourage us. Struggles are a part of our lives.

Perceive Passion Series

Contributed by Michael Mccartney on Jan 26, 2014

We need to decide what we are going to be passionate about in life. David was passionate for the Lord. The truth is you are passionate about something! The Bible encourages us to be passionate for Jesus like David was!

The Bread Of Life Series

Contributed by Brian Bill on Feb 7, 2016

Material things have a built-in mortality. No matter how much we exercise, how good our diet is, we’re eventually going to die. If you want something that lasts for eternity then you must partake of the one who alone is eternal.

The Bread of Life John 6:35-71 Rev. Brian Bill February 6-7, 2016 For my dad’s 80th birthday, my four sisters and I met in California two weeks ago to surprise him. I think we pulled it off. I came to the front door with a bunch of balloons so he couldn’t see my face and declared, ...read more

I Want To See - Mark 10:46-52 Series

Contributed by Darrell Ferguson on Feb 3, 2024

Bartimaeus is the only person Jesus healed who is named on the pages of Scripture. Why is it so important that we know his name and his father’s name? The answer will turn your world upside-down (or more accurately, right-side up)!

Mark 10:46 Then they came to Jericho. As Jesus was leaving the city with his disciples and a large crowd, a blind man, Bartimaeus (that is, the Son of Timaeus), was sitting by the roadside begging. 47 When he heard that it was Jesus of Nazareth, he began to shout, "Jesus, Son of David, have ...read more
