    A deep exploration into Luke 16:14-30 with emphases on understanding the parable of the Rich Man and Lazarus in context.

    In these tough economic times, panhandling is a common scene. Visit any sizable city and it seems there is someone on every corner asking for money.

    Christians battle against the weariness associated with doing good. Today, more than ever the church needs Paul's exhortation, “do not grow weary in doing good” (2 Thessalonians 3:13). In this lesson we'll explore the different avenues of this teaching.

    The worst enemy of enthusiasm is weariness. That tired feeling that results from having run out of strength, patience, and endurance. All of us have been there. We decide to start something great and wonderful, and then in the matter of a few days, or weeks, or months we are tired of it. What once ...read more

  • Be Imitators Of God

    Contributed by Clay Gentry on Aug 5, 2013
    based on 4 ratings
     | 7,411 views

    To call for Christians to imitate, or live like, their God is just as needed now as it was 2,000 years ago.

    Ephesians 5:1 is rather plain, “Be imitators of God.” As God’s children, we have no higher calling or purpose in life than to be like of heavenly Father. The Way of Christ is designed to reproduce godliness in our lives and therefore mold us and shape us into the image of God. ...read more

  • Is It Enough Just To Love God

     | 4,167 views

    Is it enough just to love God? By that we mean, it is enough to be well pleasing to God to simply love Him? Some Christians would say yes, others no, but what does God's word say? That is the focus of this lesson.

    Last week I asked a dozen people this simple question, “Is it enough just to love God?” Only two people said “yes it was enough just to love God,” while the other ten emphatically said, “no it’s not, we have to obey Him.” So what is the answer? Is it enough ...read more

     | 10,128 views

    When you picture Judas what do you see? A monster, or a devilish figure? Do you ever see yourself? The truth is we have a lot more in common with Judas than we care to admit. In this lesson we'll explore the life of Judas and how it relates to our own.

    When it comes to villains the Bible has its fair share. There’s Cain the brother-killer. The conniving Delilah. The murderous Jezebel. The rampaging Manasseh. And then there’s public-enemy #1, Judas the betrayer of Jesus. Too often we look at the villains and we see people that we ...read more

     | 23,781 views

    God loves everyone, nevertheless there are those whom He has favored more than others. In this lesson, well explore the story of Caleb and learn why God favored him and how He will favor you.

    Does God have favorites? Oh I know He loves everybody. John 3:16 settles that argument. We also know that He does not show partiality toward men but calls all of every nation (Acts 10:34). And yet, when we survey the annuls of scripture, we clearly see that God was drawn to certain individuals more ...read more

    As Christians we're called to repent of our sins but what does that really entail? In this lesson we'll explore that it means to truly repent.

    Beginning with the first sin of Adam and Eve (Genesis 3), God has been calling for humanity to repent of their sins. Repentance was the message that the prophets of old preached to the world (Isaiah 55:7; Jeremiah 8:6; Ezra 14:6; Hosea 11:5; Amos 5:4-6; John 3:2-10). Men like Isaiah called for ...read more

    Jesus ate with all kinds of sinners, including the Pharisees. One such occasion is recorded in Luke 14:1-14. In this lesson we'll examine the disastrous dinner with a focus of learning who will sit around the Lord's table.

    I think the secret is out of the bag… God made us social creatures. From the very beginning, God has wanted us to share life and its experiences with godly friends. He wants to have someone to weep with and rejoice with, to share life with. To be friendless, to have no one to share life with, ...read more

    Spiritually mature Christians have the responsibility to aid Christians overtaken by sin.
