I Thee Wed: Jesus' Teaching On Marriage And Divorce Series

Contributed by Donald Whitchard on Apr 16, 2021

Jesus taught that marriage is a sacred and serious undertaking by any man and woman who want to unite as one under the protection and direction of the LORD. We tend to make it less than God's ideal for us.

What I am writing down here is the product of a message I originally presented to a group of men and women during a chapel service at our local rescue mission. The topic of marriage was probably not on their list of favorites for the fact that many of them had left abusive and toxic ...read more

Holy Compromise, Holy Joy

Contributed by Russell Metcalfe on Jan 28, 2021

Christ's Faith In You And Me

Contributed by Bob Marcaurelle on Aug 29, 2025

We Have All Blown It Series

Contributed by Brian Bill on Jul 17, 2006

As we’ve been learning from our study in Romans, the picture that Paul paints of the human race is not a pretty sight. The good news is that he’s almost done speaking about sin. The bad news is that what we are faced with today is perhaps the strongest

I Went To The Enemy’s Camp

Contributed by John Gaston on Apr 5, 2025

In Joshua 6 - Lessons For Today

Contributed by Bruce Ball on Mar 21, 2015

The story of how God led the smaller Israelite people to victory over a large and fortified city tells us much about what He will do for us today. Using lyrics of older hymns to reflect on our reliance upon God.

I remember, as a child, sitting in church on light maple colored pews between my mother and father. They would never let my brother and me sit next to each other because we would end up hitting each other, or worse. But those memories are now very precious to me. And some of the memories that ...read more

The Limitless Love Of God

Contributed by Jack Perkins, D.min., Ladc, Csac, Cclc on Jun 7, 2022

How should we respond to those who have radical beliefs and lifestyles contrary to our beliefs? The temptation is to counter their viciousness and label them as an enemy. In the Sermon on the Mount, Jesus gives us a model for the attitude that we are to have when faced with divisive social issues.

If not careful, as we study the Bible, we will pick and choose passages that support certain points of view or principles to which we cling. Yet those who first heard what has become known as the Sermon on the Mount had no idea what Jesus was about to say. They understood the moralism of their day, ...read more

Pentecost - With Great Power!

Contributed by Melvin Newland on Nov 14, 2001

As a group, they weren't very impressive – just Galilean fishermen, a zealot, & a tax collector. Yet, they turned the world upside down. With little of what we have today, they spread the Gospel all over their world!
