Why Did The Chicken Cross The Road?

Contributed by Daniel Sandoval on Oct 17, 2010

The famous joke for children, explained biblically. This is the story of the good Samaritan with emphasis on the two men who didn't help the man in need.

Turn with me in your bibles to Luke chapter 10. Many of you have heard multiple times the story of the good Samaritan and think that because you have heard it so many times you can't get much out of it. I want to look at this story in a completely different light so you can get something out of ...read more

Contributed by Wilson Oshorakpor on Feb 16, 2022

Humans, to a large extent, determine the state of the earth. Whatever actions the children of today take in the future will either preserve or destroy the earth and humanity with it. The children of today are the earth of tomorrow.

The Bad Judge Series

Contributed by Jeff Strite on Nov 2, 2014

God dedicated 57 verses to a wicked judge who ruled as king in Israel for about 3 years. Why would He do that? Is it possible the story of this evil man has something to us about how we should think as Christians?

OPEN: In Clay County, Kentucky there was a judge named R. Cletus Maricle. He was one of the rare judges I could find online who had been permanently disbarred. You might ask: “Jeff, why was he disbarred?” I’m glad you asked. R. Cletus Maricle was disbarred because he and 7 other ...read more

Understanding The Prophetic

Contributed by Jeff Van Wyk on Mar 29, 2013

God Chooses The Weak Series

Contributed by Derek Geldart on Feb 5, 2018

Jesus chose twelve ordinary men to proclaim His Gospel message. It was not the Pharisees, rabbis, priest or scribes that He chose but ordinary men. If Jesus chose the weak of this world to shame the strong don't be surprised when He comes calling you!

What Is Beauty Based

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Mar 12, 2021

Men do not claim to understand women, but they do understand beauty. A man does not need to know anything about flowers to appreciate and enjoy them. So also, ignorance cannot rob men of the one thing they do know about women, and that is their beauty.

Every woman wants to be beautiful, and that is why the beauty business is a seven billion dollar a year industry, and the largest advertiser in America. American women actually worship beauty. They will do almost anything to attain it, including fasting if it is necessary. They will try anything, ...read more

How To Receive A Royal Reward Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Mar 31, 2021

How do we receive this royal reward? James says the road to this reward is the road of endurance. Kings only want tried men in their army, and so how much more does the King of Kings want tried men and women to serve with Him?

In modern educational psychology we read such statements as, "Learning takes place only when the act that is performed is reinforced or rewarded." And, "Without reward, people fail to learn." Educators are more and more realizing that rewards play a major part in teaching that ...read more

The Book Of Lamentations – Part 43 – Princes Were Abused And Young Men Forced Into Harsh Servitude By Ruthless Babylon - Lamentations 5:12-13 Series

Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Oct 10, 2025

The description of horrible conditions continues, this time with degrading action against the princes, and terrible forced labour upon the young men. A conquering army often forces humiliation on the defeated people and treats them terribly. Symptomatic of a sinful world.

THE BOOK OF LAMENTATIONS – PART 43 – PRINCES WERE ABUSED AND YOUNG MEN FORCED INTO HARSH SERVITUDE BY RUTHLESS BABYLON - Lamentations 5:12-13 The subject matter of Lamentations is not pleasant in most of its content, which is probably why it is rarely preached on, or taught.
