Jesus is about to pray for the disciples’ sanctification (John 17:17). John 17:11. He prays that they will be “kept ...read more

    One should not despise small beginnings.

    ZECHARIAH 4:10 For who hath despised the day of small things? for they shall rejoice, and shall see the plummet in the hand of Zerubbabel with those seven; they are the eyes of the LORD, which run to and fro through the whole earth. Once there were three trees on a hill in the woods. They were ...read more

    Scapegoats

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Apr 28, 2019
     | 2,118 views

    Jesus turns that human sin on its head by becoming the scapegoat, by taking all sin onto His divine shoulders and letting the Romans and Jewish leaders nail His sacred Body to the cross.

    Tuesday of 2nd Week in Easter The great literary critic and philosopher René Noël Théophile Girard, was baptized in France with names that speak of Christmas, his birthday, and the love of God. He gave us the idea that all our desires are borrowed from other people, and that all ...read more

    The mood of fear is evoked in each of the three punishments

    The mood of fear is evoked in each of the three punishments according to Jewish biblical-era legislation (called halakhic legislation). Reading and hearing Scripture is "imaging the real" in all of its "moods”—and letting the tone of the text bring one to the truth of the ...read more

    When God Says No

    Contributed by Brad Stone on Sep 19, 2020
     | 7,290 views

    We never like to accept a "No" answer in our life, especially in prayer, but the fact is that there are times God replies to us with a firm No because He wants to reveal to us a deeper plan.

    When we were children, we never liked hearing the word 'No' when we ask our parents for something. We felt as though our every wish should be granted. If you say otherwise, we can pray later. Frankly, as adults, we feel the same way. We do not like to be told no in regards to ...read more

    Apostle Paul encountered the Lord Jesus on the road to Damascus and he was changed forever. His life was to live for Christ and for the assignment which Christ had given him. For Paul said, For me to live is Christ, to die is gain.

    Good morning leaders and co-laborers in the Lord, do you remember what did Paul said to Jesus on the road to Damascus at the time of his conversion? The Call of Apostle Paul on the road to Damascus. Acts 9:6 “Lord, what do You want me to do?” From that time, the life of Paul was never the same ...read more

    Picking Up Bones

    Contributed by Chris Swanson on Dec 30, 2022
     | 1,694 views

    I have a bone to pick with you. In the valley of dry bones, we can learn something about ourselves and our local churches. Let us take a moment to find out what these dry bones can tell us.

    Nothing on this earth can bring bones back to life, only God can restore life. Ezekiel came across a valley of bones. The Spirit of the Lord told him to prophesy to these bones, and as he did, the sinews and flesh came on them, and then the skin. Ezekiel was then told to prophesy for the wind to ...read more

    Stop Murmuring And Praise God

    Contributed by Rodney Johnson Sr., on Feb 18, 2016
     | 17,188 views

    God has been too good for us to murmur about anything. We should be more grateful and less complaintive.

    Introduction: Nothing hurts the church as much as a culture of complaining among its members. Joyce Meyers said: “complain and remain or praise and be raised.” In my 32 years of shepherding God’s people; I have found nothing as detrimental as whining individuals. A whining ...read more

    Desperate For God!

     | 5,601 views

    Friend, many of our situations have not reached the ‘stinking level’ or ‘ the sinking level’ which would surely drive us to fall face down before God!

    Desperate for God! Mark 5:23"My little daughter is at the point of death. Come and lay your hands on her, so that she may be made well and live."

    Only A Wimpy Philosopher--Come On, Man! Series

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Mar 6, 2021
     | 1,306 views

    That would, of course, be a lot like having a beautiful vehicle with no engine and, therefore, no value. Jesus as a kind of philosophizing wimp, so to speak.

    Monday of the 3rd Week in Lent 2021 One of the great heresies of Christendom that comes back again and again says that Jesus Christ was a great moral philosopher in the line of the Buddha, Confucius, and Marcus Aurelius. Perhaps the most notorious of the authors holding this position was the U.S. ...read more

     | 3,516 views

    All of us have those times when we are caught with egg on our face. We are guilty and there is no getting around it. What do we do now? Is God done with me? Would He even dare to entrust me to do something for Him again? I believe that is how Peter and the disciples felt.

    READY, RESET, GO! John 21:1-7 Thomas Edison and his team invented the first light bulb that actually functioned for a few hours (1879). It took hundreds of attempts, and each attempt took a full 24 hours to create a new bulb and put the ingredients together. On one occasion, after 24 hours of ...read more
