Slave Series

Contributed by Robert Leroe on Dec 29, 2015

In this overlooked parable Jesus describes the life of discipleship in terms of service. Rather than focusing on our rights and needs, and deciding what we'd like to do, we need to focus on how we can serve our Master.

This has been called “the most troubling parable” in the Bible. Why does Jesus say we are like unworthy servants? I know I must have read this before, but somehow I glossed over it. I've got a lot of books on the parables of Jesus and most omit this one. A year ago an article in ...read more

The Lesson Of The Wine

Contributed by Christopher Roberts on Oct 29, 2003

The little things in the Bible are easy to overlook, yet it all has meaning. In the miracles at the wedding in Cana, the 240,000 servings of wine can teach us about the difference between the Law and the Spirit, God’s Grace and God’s character.

I love weddings. I have only had the occasion to perform two weddings and those were both great and special occasions for me. I had so much fun. And weddings are supposed to be fun. I think we should take a lesson from 1st century Judaism on how to party. The usual festivities consisted of a ...read more

Lost Hope

Contributed by Dr. Jerry N. Watts on Mar 17, 2011

A word for those who have "lost hope" at some point and believe theirs to be a circumstance which no one else has ever been through. May this help you. This posting is a short Wed evening devotion which needs to be further developed

LOST HOPE Luke 8:40-56 * Back in 1996, the church where I was pastoring received & responded to a company to lease pre-made television commercials which would be ‘stamped’ with our name. * While we had many choices about which ads we would buy, we clearly understand that to enter the public arena ...read more

A Marriage Made Heaven? Series

Contributed by Stephen Smith on Sep 30, 2019

The Old Testament tale of a Love story in which Yahweh, as a spiritual husband, pledges himself in marriage to the nation of Israel. The wedding, recorded in Exodus 19 and 24, takes place at Mount Sinai following Israel's deliverance from Egypt.

The Bible: A Love Story Pt 1: A Marriage made in Heaven? We often refer to the Old Testament scriptures as falling into the category of the 'Old Covenant'. In their turn, the New Testament scriptures are, more properly, referred to as the 'New Covenant' (Jer.31:31; ...read more

Contributed by Dr. Steve Newton on Oct 3, 2017

The tabernacle series was taught on Wed evening at our church. 2 Cor.5:19 reads, "God was in Christ reconciling the world to him." From the Tabernacle God reached out to sinful man. We should not be surprised to see Jesus in the Tabernacle.

The Eternal Destiny Of Those Who've Never Heard The Gospel Series

Contributed by Scott Maze on Jun 12, 2021

Charles Spurgeon was once asked his opinion about those who had never heard of Jesus or the gospel. His response sting rings true today: “How can they be saved without ever hearing about Jesus? We should rather ask, how can we be saved if we do nothing to take the gospel to them?”

What is the fate of those who have never heard the gospel? What about the innocent person in a far-away land that has never heard of Jesus? Are they thrown into hell even if they haven’t heard of Jesus? Another way of asking this question is this: how does God deal with people who have different ...read more

Let It Be Known

Contributed by Mark Lindsey on Jun 19, 2023

When you receive good news, you want to let it be known to others. Every engaged girl shows off her engagement ring. Gender reveal parties announce a newborn is coming. What better news to share than the good news of God's love shown through Christ? Peter let it be known on Pentecost.

“Let It Be Known” Acts 2 In Acts 2, we see the birth of the Church on the Day of Pentecost. This small band of disciples of Jesus had endured Jesus crucified on the Cross. The one they believed to be the Messiah had been killed. They thought it was over, then they heard the news: Jesus is alive! ...read more

Contributed by Dr. Jerry Hulse on Jun 23, 2022

The word declares the five-fold ministry was bestowed upon the church until it attained the fullness of Christ's stature. It is imperative for the upcoming confrontation with the kingdom of darkness, and the church must ensure that it is in place to face any challenges with confidence.

Ready. Set. Go! Series

Contributed by Gordon Pike on Sep 26, 2021

Suppose that the Lord Jesus chose this very moment to return. Would you be ready? Our objective as Christians is not merely to be included in the Rapture but to bring as many people with us as we can. My eternal hope and my ongoing prayer is that neither you nor I get “left behind.”
