Lord Build Me In Action Series

Contributed by Justin Steckbauer on Apr 2, 2021

We live by faith in God. But what use is our faith if we don’t actively live it out? Just like the boy who is afraid, in the burning building, he can’t see his father below with his arms wide open, but he believes that he is there. He has faith that his dad is there even though he cant see.

"One night a house caught fire and a young boy was forced to flee to the roof. The father stood on the ground below with outstretched arms, calling to his son, "Jump! I'll catch you." He knew the boy had to jump to save his life. All the boy could see, however, was flame, smoke, ...read more

The Death Of A Conscience Series

Contributed by Terry Blankenship on Mar 2, 2009

Herod Antipas provides proof that death is not always physical. Life ends in death twice without Christ.

Contributed by Tommy Ellis on May 10, 2002

One of the questions thoughtful Christians often ask when we’re trying to live incarnationally – putting flesh on the gospel – is how far should we go in accommodating ourselves to our culture?

Worship: The Creator Or His Creatures

Contributed by Ajai Prakash on Jul 9, 2009

Idolaters worship the things God made rather than God Himself. Is there anything you feel you cannot live without? Is there any priority greater than God? Do you have a dream you would sacrifice everything to realize? Does God take first place? Do you wor

Revival Must Start At Home

Contributed by Michael Stark on Mar 8, 2019

“he Was Tortured By The Romans” Series

Contributed by Dave Mcfadden on Apr 20, 2015

The Romans tortured Jesus out of ignorance. But is that a justifiable excuse?

It’s interesting to contrast how the suffering of Jesus is portrayed. There are depictions that are rated PG. There’s hardly any blood; and Jesus looks more annoyed than in pain. There’s a heavenly glow around His head, as He gazes into heaven. Then there are depictions that more ...read more
