    based on 3 ratings

    What motivates a Christ-like servant to do good deeds?

    The writer of Hebrews touches on two things associated with our being involved in ministry to others in a way that honors Christ. He first speaks of the attitude and then of the activity of a servant. Last time, we thought about how the attitude of a Christ-like servant is love; and how that ...read more

    Fitting In To The Family Portrait

    Contributed by Jon Lipka on Mar 4, 2012
     | 4,396 views

    As part of the household of God, we represent Jesus in the world, and should look and act like Him.

    Our gospel today from Luke is a precious moment in the life of the nascent Church. We see Jesus praying, with his followers around him. And he tells them—he tells us—about who he is and about who we are. Think of it as a sort of family portrait. Jesus is praying. All of our life, all ...read more

    The Subject Of Sin

    Contributed by Jerry Cosper on Mar 28, 2012
     | 5,178 views

    Jesus promised the woman at the well the living water of spiritual rebirth. But before she could receive the living water of spiritual rebirth the matter of sin had to be discussed.

    Last week we got into the story of the Samaritan woman at the well in John 4: 1-14. We found that the woman was intrigued when Jesus asked her to give Him a drink. Jesus then offered this woman the Living Water. But we also said that there were some matters that she had to straighten out before ...read more

     | 6,354 views

    At this point, I’m sure that Jesus was feeling the awful pressure of God’s coming judgment on sin. The fleshly side of Jesus surely wanted to run. He wanted another way to be chosen to save man. Yet He was committed to God, He was totally devoted to Hi

    READ 1-2. Jesus has just finished praying for Himself, His disciples, and all the future believers. Jesus gives us a picture of His devotion to God in verse 4. After His prayer, He left from where He was and went into an olive grove. His actions seem to be deliberate. He went with purpose, ...read more

    The Cowardly Denial

    Contributed by Jerry Cosper on Apr 17, 2012
    based on 1 rating
     | 5,781 views

    This study is about Peter’s denial of Christ. But it’s about more than that. This passage is a descriptive picture of cowardly denial—the cowardly denial of both the world and a close disciple of the Lord’s.

    When you look at tonight’s title you probably are saying that tonight’s study is about Peter’s denial of Christ, and you’re right. But it’s about more than that. Tonight’s passage is a descriptive picture of cowardly denial—the cowardly denial of both the ...read more

    The Great Shepherd's Claims

    Contributed by Jerry Cosper on Apr 18, 2012
     | 4,713 views

    Jesus made two revealing points. 1. His sacrificial death was the very reason God loves His Son so much. God loves His Son just like any man loves his child. But God loves Jesus even more, in a more special way, because Jesus was willing to pay such a

    As we move along in our study of the Gospel of John you might remember that last Sunday morning the message came from John 10: 1-16 when Jesus referred to Himself as the Good Shepherd. Tonight we will pick up there in verse 17. READ 17-18. This is the final proof that Jesus is the Good Shepherd ...read more

    Baptism: Magic Or Mission?

    Contributed by Joseph Smith on Feb 14, 2010
    based on 4 ratings
     | 3,740 views

    "How can I get God to do what I want?" is the poor question that has led to erroneous concepts of baptism. Baptism is, to the contrary, our signing on to how we can go what God wants.

    The problem is that if you don’t ask the right question, you’ll never get the right answer. If you ask the wrong question, you’ll never get the answer you want. A long time ago I learned that it is the wrong question, definitely the wrong question, to ask, "Are we having dessert tonight?" If I ...read more

    Contributed by Ross Cochrane on Mar 6, 2010
    based on 14 ratings
     | 9,272 views

    Today, our culture seems fascinated with death and vampires and witches and ghosts and horoscopes and clairvoyants and numerous other dark pathways to evil. It is disturbing because people feel they can control it. These kinds of choices have consequences

    Part 14 - Matthew 8:23-34 - AN UNHEALTHY FASCINATION WITH EVIL He writhed on the floor while men and women gathered around him hurling their prayers. That’s the best way I can describe it. "Come out in Jesus name!" they said, and he writhed all the more as if in pain, and certainly in turmoil. The ...read more

    Today, we are looking at one of the most beloved events in all of the New Testament—the time when Jesus fed the 5000 with five loaves and two fish. But despite our familiarity with the account, there are many things we can still learn from it.

    This morning we have come to one of the most beloved stories in all of the Bible. Probably most of us have pictures of this event in our mind from children’s story books or Sunday school lessons. On the one hand, it’s good that many of us are very familiar with this event. But on the other hand, ...read more
