    Many today are obsessed with making the Bible fit our cultural perspective, even when it means abandoning sound principles of interpretation. Today we will find how important the historical/cultural context really is to sound biblical exegesis.

    TENTH SUNDAY AFTER PENTECOST, YEAR B August 1, 2021 author of Ephesians wants us to realize that we are not left without resources

    Now we’re moving from preaching to meddling, as the old cliché goes. To declare that there is a life worthy of the gospel is to claim that there is a life that isn’t. There are choices to be made in how we live out our faith. And some of those choices reveal whether we are indeed “rooted and ...read more

    The ingredients for real joy is a mixture of all the above pain, it sounds weird but that is real!

    Repentance

     | 2,104 views

    Repent sounds weird in today's language. What's it all about?

    Jesus’ first messages were summarized by two words, repent and believe in the Gospel (Matthew 4:17; Mark 1:15). What does repent mean? Turn Back Often translated as repent is the Hebrew word “shoob,” which means to turn back or return. What did Solomon, that wise backslider, say about national ...read more

     | 458 views

    God is a Way Maker. When human options run out, God's divine interventions begin. He delights in showing His power in impossible places, making a way where there seems to be none.

    Words That Cause Stumbling Series

    Contributed by Ron Tuit on Sep 11, 2015
     | 3,874 views

    The word "doctrines" has almost become a "dirty word" in many Christian circles. Often times when people hear a difficult teaching, or "doctrine", they become disenchanted and at times even divisive. Jesus spoke to this tendency in John 6.

    “Words that Cause Stumbling” John 6:59-64 Last week we ended with these verses from John 6:56 "He who eats My flesh and drinks My blood abides in Me, and I in him. 57 "As the living Father sent Me, and I live ...read more

     | 3,528 views

    Gideon chose to attack the Midian army with trumpets, torch and pitcher. No swords. God’s plan might look weird but watch the end!

    Small but Smart! Judges 7:1:He divided the 300 men into three companies, and he put trumpets and empty pitchers into the hands of all of them, with torches inside the pitchers.” While I was talking to the wife of a senior pastor of a huge church with more than 50 pastors working under them, I ...read more

    There are many people who think that they know when something should come their way, or when they should go through hardships. The truth is, no one knows whats best for us but God almighty, so although we think that our timing is better, give in to God’s

    based on 3 ratings
     | 6,202 views

    The Great Commission invites us, amazingly, into the joy of sharing faith and, by God's power and grace, having a real impact on the future population of heaven. Weird but true.

    Let me ask a couple questions about our home planet and its population to begin today. How many nations/countries are in the world? Anyone want to guess? Ballpark? 196 [ (not incl.
