    Before Jesus departed from His disciples to return to heaven, after His crucifixion and resurrection to pay for the sins of the world, He offered several final messages that were – and still are – important.

When a loved one passes, if there is an opportunity, last words are shared are also shared to express love and gratitude. ...read more

    Born Again?

     | 6,204 views

    Jesus shares with Nicodemus the need to be born again as the basis for righteousness, spirtual perception, and eternal life.

    VERSES 1-2 A Visit at night Nicodemus approaches Jesus by night. We need to remember that in the days before electricity people did not usually run around at night. There are only two assumptions we can make about Nicodemus visiting Christ at night and both of them are reasonable. First, that ...read more

    Transforming Role Of The Word

    Contributed by Steven Chapman on Feb 6, 2007
    based on 15 ratings
     | 4,848 views

    The greatest threat to the Bible is believers who don’t live close enough to God’s Word for it to perform its purpose.

    The Transforming Role of the Word Hebrews 4:12 What is the greatest threat to the Bible? A Soviet Russian dictionary defined the Bible as a ‘collection of fantastic legends without scientific support. It is full of dark hints, historical mistakes, and contradictions. It serves as a factor for ...read more

    Zacharias, and his wife Elizabeth, were good people. They loved the Lord and attempted to follow after Him with all their heart. They were well thought of people, both being descendants of Aaron; however, there was one major blight on their life: they h

    For several weeks, I have been meditating on the biblical account of Zacharias being approached by the angel Gabriel and given the news about soon to be birth of John The Baptist. The first thing I want to deal with is that angels are real. There is a great deal that we do not know about angels, ...read more

    This message is from my "Applied" series. Things of God are of no avail to the believer until they are applied. This message is on qpplying the word of God.

    The Applied Word of God By: Pastor Donny Granberry For the past several weeks we have taken an objective look at the word applied, and focused on the spiritual difference of knowing things –vs- applying them.

    John the Baptist received the word of God in the desert, and prepared the people for the coming of Christ by calling them to repentance.

    We are in the season of Advent. We prepare now for the coming of Christ at Christmas, and we recall that He will come again with power and great glory on the last day.

     | 6,782 views

    Love is a vital underpin in the life of the believer in Christ. It is what drives God to reach out to us and it is what should compel the believer in the daily Christian walk.

    1 Corinthians 13 Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, and have not charity, I am become as sounding brass, or a tinkling cymbal. And though I have the gift of prophecy, and understand all mysteries, and all knowledge; and though I have all faith, so that I could remove mountains, ...read more

    The Word Became Flesh

    Contributed by Simon Bartlett on Dec 24, 2024
     | 630 views

    At the beginning of John's gospel John makes many striking claims about Jesus. One is that he was Logos, the word. Another is that he became flesh. Isn't 'the flesh' bad? Why did Jesus take on flesh? And should we do anything?

    At Christmas, Christians think of the fact that Jesus, though he was God, became man. But John expresses things differently. Rather than saying that God became man, John tells us that THE WORD – in Greek, Logos – became FLESH. John starts his gospel by talking about ‘Logos’ – the word. John ...read more

    Preaching is not the task of “making” scripture come alive; rather it’s “drawing out the life” that’s already in it.

    INTRODUCTION A. Look Closely At Hebrews 4:12-13 “For the word of God is living and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the division of soul and spirit, and of joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart. And there is no creature ...read more

    based on 7 ratings
     | 13,126 views

    The words diligence and industry do not carry as positive a connotation in our society as they once did. But the Bible exalts those that work over the "leisure-holics," and those who work with diligence over those who work with negligence.

    PROVERBS 10: 1-5 A GOOD WORD FOR THE DILIGENT [Proverbs 6:6-11] The subscription stated as "The Proverbs of Solomon" informs us that we have come to a new portion of the book. The first nine chapters have set forth beautifully in what has been mainly connected discourse concerning the nature ...read more
