    Contributed by Mike Hays on Oct 18, 2000
    based on 134 ratings
     | 10,054 views

    In our Scripture for today we can easily conclude that love is not an emotion as much as it is an emulation of the One who first loved us. Love is more than a longing -- it is an action.

    The Prerequisite Of Love 1 John 4:7-12 I first heard the report on the radio as I was driving to work this week - Jane Fonda had given her life to Christ. The woman who has recently gone through a divorce to Ted Turner, sold more exercise videos than Bill Gates has sold Windows, and who has been ...read more

     | 10,363 views

    If you have experienced depression and despair then you are not alone. Some of God’s greatest saints have felt the cold darkness surround them and yet they found His hand lead them out of the darkness and into His glorious light.

    Coming Out Of The Darkness Psalm 55:4-7 I felt it creeping in. I hadn’t eaten all day but I felt heavy. My heart hung low within me.

    based on 180 ratings
     | 10,838 views

    In Matthew 25 Jesus gives us His only picture of the final judgment. In the parable of the Sheep and the Goats those who are the "blessed" ones are those who loved the least of these in society.

    The Parable of The Participants and The Spectators Matthew 26:31-46 Years ago, a Missouri congregation listened to a young preacher who had walked twenty miles to deliver the sermon. Tired and hungry, this young man faltered, floundered, and failed. The people were unresponsive; they did not know ...read more

    based on 138 ratings
     | 7,678 views

    The Jewish Passover that Jesus observed with His disciples was very different from our observance of the Lord’s Supper today. Jesus became our Cup of Redemption through His crucifixion on our behalf.

    The Cup of Redemption Luke 22:7-22 Sunday marked the day that all of God’s people began to lose sight of everything other than the preparations for the most important day of the year. There was much to do. People had come from everywhere to celebrate Passover in the Holy City of Jerusalem. The ...read more

     | 4,660 views

    Jesus had promised that He would overcome the grave, but those who loved Him so could not understand how pain and sorrow could ever translate into joy and salvation.

    Devastation To Resurrection John 20:1-16 It had been a week of emotion. There was the fever pitched frenzy of adoring crowds lining the streets, shouting, “Hosanna! Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord!” as they welcomed Jesus on Palm Sunday. While the excitement lingered, the crowd ...read more

    Are You Paying Attention?

    Contributed by Mike Hays on Oct 24, 2000
    based on 57 ratings
     | 11,298 views

    Few people make a conscious decision to reject God. Most people just never get around to making a commitment and drift right by the safe harbor of Heaven.

    “Are You Paying Attention?” Hebrews 2:1-4 Moms and dads are accustomed to dishing out advice. To try and guide a son or daughter through the narrow straights of life is part of the responsibility of a parent. Some guidance, if not heeded, will cost, but the price is not too severe. “Brush your ...read more
