Pray For Justice Series

Contributed by Matthew Kratz on Jun 2, 2018

While Scripture reveals that God is loving, merciful, and gracious—a savior of repentant sinners, one truth about Him that is decidedly unpopular today is that He is a God of vengeance against those who reject Him and salvation in His Son.

Observing common perceptions, it has been said that God created humanity in His image and humanity has returned the favor. People have created gods in whatever form pleases them to accommodate their sinful lifestyles. God rebuked such foolish people in Psalm 50:21: “You thought that I was just like ...read more

A New Name Written Down In Glory Series

Contributed by Jeff Strite on Dec 31, 2021

Jesus makes us a New Creation and gives us a New Name. Why does He do that, and what kind of difference can that make in our lives?

Does anybody know what the “S” in Harry S Truman stands for? NOTHING! It doesn't stand for anything. He was born with a middle initial… and that was it. The letter “S” was a compromise that his parents made to satisfy his grandfathers, whose names were Shippe and Solomon.” Several years ago, ...read more

Jesus Says: Awaken!

Contributed by Andrew Zoll on Mar 4, 2017

Jesus' charge to the church today is, in many cases, the same as it was to Sardis in AD 95/96: Wake up, Church!

The Great Commission: Populating Heaven

Contributed by Rev. Matthew Parker on Apr 21, 2013

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.

Puerto Rico, Bermuda, Greenland, Palestine, Western Sahara, and even the components of the United Kingdom (such as ...read more

The Arrest Of Jesus - Mark 14:41-52 Series

Contributed by Darrell Ferguson on May 12, 2024

What's with the strange story about the young man fleeing naked at Jesus' arrest? Mark leaves out so many big aspects of that event, but he includes this. Is it a meaningless, throwaway story? Or is it Mark at his best, crafting a profound message in a vivid picture?

Jesus leads the 12 into battle even though he knows they will fail. When the hour comes, you’ll have to face the battle, ready or not. Jesus fights this battle on four fronts. Front #1: Judas (Jesus fights dis-couragement by calling out to Abba, Father). Front #2: the rogue disciple who jeopardizes ...read more

Turning The Tables Series

Contributed by Kevin Ruffcorn on Mar 25, 2015

The path to meet Jesus may come as a surprise to some. Instead of being cloaked in robes of religion, Jesus is clothed in rags of need.

Matthew 25:31-46 “Turning the Tables” INTRODUCTION Whether in high school or college most of us have had the joy of taking a “final.” We studied hard for the final, because a large percentage of our grade was determined by this one test. More than a few all-nighters ...read more

Supper Time

Contributed by David Dunn on Oct 8, 2025

God’s feast is ready; the call is now—accept His grace, wear His robe, and take your seat at the table.

I grew up one of seven children. In a house that full, noise was normal—laughing, teasing, fussing, the thud of feet running in and out the back door. But no matter how wild the day got, there was one sound that could stop everything in an instant. It wasn’t thunder. It wasn’t Dad’s whistle. It ...read more

The time is always right for the harvest. We have a responsibility now to reach people for Jesus.

 Sometimes we are guilty of getting caught up in a futuristic harvest or Kingdom thinking.  We can talk so much about what is going to happen that we don’t do anything now.  We sometimes get focused on taking care of our needs and things that we think we can get out of the ...read more

Reflection D.4 / Does God Have A Purpose In Coronavirus? Revelation. The Rider On The White Horse.

Contributed by Simon Bartlett on Jun 12, 2020

Could the rider on the white horse be 'a spirit of conquest' which has been with us for the past 2000 years? The correspondence between Matthew 24 and Revelation 6:1-8 might lead us to think so.

I started this enquiry in response to the question, could God be behind coronavirus? Could coronavirus be some form of judgement from God or a sign of ‘End Times’? To answer that in relation to ‘End Times’ we want to know what ‘End Times’ will look like. A decision we make at this point will ...read more
