     | 4,498 views

    There are different ways to "encourage" obedience. As we study Christ’s Active and Passive Obedience, God teaches us obedience to the Law through the Gospel.

    The Second Sunday of Easter I John 5:6a The philosophy for dog obedience training has changed quite a bit in the last few decades.

    4. Thoughts In 2 Peter - Number Four - Stirrers In The Lord – Peter Is A Correct Stirrer - 2 Peter 3:1-2 Series

    Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Jan 11, 2026
     | 124 views

    The perceptive preacher will challenge with the same scriptures BY WHICH HE HIMSELF IS STIRRED UP, otherwise preaching has become a farce and is empty. A man can not preach a word to touch others if he, himself, has not been touched initially by the word he preaches.

    4. THOUGHTS IN 2 PETER - NUMBER FOUR - STIRRERS IN THE LORD – PETER IS A CORRECT STIRRER - 2 PETER 3:1-2 PART 1 – THE INTRODUCTION We live in the days of professional stirrers.

    Contributed by Ross Cochrane on Jan 7, 2010
    based on 24 ratings
     | 12,001 views

    Why is the F*** word and and the Sh** word used so freely today? Jesus doesn’t directly include this in what He says about oaths in Matthew 5 but it is there by way of application and other passages enlarge on this area of sin, so I am taking a detour.

     | 977 views

    How do we respond to the thorns that just won't go away? Paul gives a great example and encouragement in what to do.

    2.16.25 2 Corinthians 12:7b–10 (EHV) 7 I was given a thorn in my flesh, a messenger of Satan, to torment me, so that I would not become arrogant. 8 Three times I pleaded with the Lord about this, that he would take it away from me. 9 And he said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, because ...read more

     | 10,009 views

    Today we want to explore some interesting words about truth-telling that Jesus gives us.

    A few weeks ago, President Clinton spent Saturday and Sunday huddling with his lawyers preparing for his grand jury testimony. As I thought about that, it seemed a bit odd. If your goal in going before a grand jury is to tell the truth, to tell the whole truth and nothing but the truth, why does it ...read more

    based on 5 ratings
     | 11,698 views

    Every word in the Bible is for us to learn from; and we learn something from the words or actions of every character in it; so what are we to learn from David's psalms or prayers which invoke God's curses on his enemies

    Psalm 35 (especially verses 1-9) David’s ‘Imprecatory Psalms’ We believe the Bible is the inspired Word of God and everything in it is in it for our good in some way, so when we read about people and their actions and words, we are to learn from them, and either copy them or ...read more
