    Christ the King Sunday - focuses on Christ’s identity, which is why we worship him.

    Colossians 1:13-20 WHY DO YOU WORSHIP JESUS CHRIST? Many would say that you are an odd group of people that are here today. Here you are, on a day when you’re not working, and instead of using your time off to relax at home, you’re here. What an odd group of people you are, people would say. ...read more

    based on 6 ratings
     | 5,389 views

    In our corrupt and chaotic world, we as Christians must be careful not to lose our proper perspective, both on our world, and ourselves. We must remember who and what we are.

    Acknowledging What We Are Text: I Cor.15: 9, 10 Intro: We live at a point in time that could be labeled as both exciting and exasperating. It is exciting because we are literally witnessing the coming together of events that point to the soon return of the Lord Jesus Christ. It is also ...read more

    Why I Quit Tithing

    Contributed by Doug Fannon on Sep 23, 2019
    based on 1 rating
     | 5,419 views

    Because God owns it all, the question should not be, "How much should I give?" But rather the question should be, "How much should I keep?"

    Most people simply don’t understand tithing. To many Christians, it seems like some sort of country club due. Another bill in the long list of monthly expenses. I hear questions like: “How Much Are You Supposed to Tithe?” “Do I tithe on my gross income or net income?” “My pay my tithe on my pay ...read more

    Have you tried and tried to be holy only to fail time and time again? If so, then the liberating truth that you need is found in God's Name Jehovah-M’Kaddesh (Jehovah Who Sanctifies).

    Why Did God Choose The Shepherds? Series

    Contributed by Alan Perkins on Dec 11, 2025
    based on 1 rating
     | 1,391 views

    Time and time again in the Scriptures, we see that God chooses the most unlikely candidates to serve him - David the shepherd to be king, fishermen to be apostles, and in this passage, the lowly shepherds to be the first to meet the newborn Christ child. Why?

    One of the things I enjoy most about Biblical narrative—that is, the historical accounts in the Old and New Testament—is how often God does something completely unexpected. These can be surprising, or revealing, or thought-provoking. And sometimes they’re quite funny, as when God gave Balaam’s ...read more

    based on 14 ratings
     | 20,285 views

    When we sort through the implications of our choices, be they major or minor, how does a relationship with Jesus Christ figure into the equation? There is perhaps no greater choice facing us each and every day of our life than this choice. If you decide n

    No sooner is he breathing and looking around and he is given a PURPOSE. In fact even before he is created from the dust of the ground God already gave him a purpose.

    We come from a Designer, which should cause us to consider what the point of life is; this can only be found in Jesus Christ.

     | 4,835 views

    Why should we humble ourselves to do menial and low level jobs for others? Because Jesus humbled himself to wash the disciles feet.

    Why Should I Do It? 7/15/2018 John 13:12-17 Acts 1:1-11 Have you ever been in a situation in which somebody asked you to do something that you really didn’t want to do it, and you even thought it was unfair for them to ask you to do it.

    Why Is The Kingdom Open To The ‘least Of These’? Series

    Contributed by Jim Butcher on Jan 20, 2026
     | 198 views

    We are familiar with Jesus talking about "the least of these," but why are they a target of the Kingdom? This parable gives us insight into that question.

    AN INTERESTING QUESTION: How did we get to the place where “the least of these” is such a focus of the Kingdom? - Luke 14:12-15. - You are probably tired of hearing me repeat that important interpretation principle: context is key. - Most of you fully know what I mean but for anyone visiting, let ...read more
