    Contributed by Jeff Strite on Aug 3, 2015

     | 25,425 views

    Cage fighting is a particularly gruesome way of fighting, and yet Paul used the fighting of his day (more brutal than MMA) to describe Timothy's responsibilities. What could we possibly learn from MMA that could make us better servants of Christ?

    How many of you know the meaning of these letters used to describe a sporting event: MMA? (Mix Martial Arts). It’s kind of like boxing where the contestants not only hit each other with their fists, but also with their feet and knees and elbows. It’s also called “Cage ...read more

    Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Nov 29, 2025
     | 150 views

    The final posting on the Parable of the Pearl of Great Price looks at the church at Philadelphia again, then moves to the period of Church History that is represented by this parable. It is not a denomination or a particular church. It is explained in the message.

The Kingdom Parables – The Sixth – The Pearl of Greatest Price – Part 4 of 4 In this final Part we look especially at the place the Parable of the pearl of greatest price has in Church History as we have done with each of the parables. Before that though, there is a bit to finish off from ...read more

    Jesus said He would build His church. What we read in Acts 4 is how He intended to do it. What do we read there that helps us understand our part in Christ's construction crew?

One particularly slow young man in the congregation took the idea to heart, but he wasn’t quite sure how to do it. Then, that Sunday, a skeptic visited the church one Sunday, and the boy ...read more

    based on 25 ratings
     | 28,349 views
