    Scripture There are many great questions that have been asked in Scripture. But, I would like to suggest that the greatest question ever asked is found in Acts 16:30. It is the question the Philippian jailer asked Paul and Silas. After there had been a violent earthquake, the jailer thought that ...read more

    This message is from a series that looks at God's desire for us to live life in a way that avoids being overloaded and overextended.

    Busyness and productivity are values that seem to be held high in our culture. In fact, these values are looked on quite favorably in the church.

    based on 2 ratings
     | 6,046 views

    When it comes to fatherhood, bad examples from Scripture can be good examples, once you know what a failed father has done wrong. Eli was a bad example. But what did he do wrong, and what can we learn from him so we can build better fathers?

    Someone once said that everyone is an example to others - some are GOOD examples, and some are BAD. And, believe it or not, bad examples can be good examples for us. For example, Eli was a “GOOD EXAMPLE” of a bad example of how to be a father. But before we get to Eli’s story (and what we can ...read more

    There are some Christian character traits with which God desires for us to be clothed. Kindness, compassion, and thankfulness to name a few.

    Have You Got Milk?

    Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Mar 3, 2022
    based on 2 ratings
     | 5,277 views

    The words of the Bible are likened to milk, and they are as essential to our spiritual growth as milk is to the growth of the human body. If you desire physical life then drink cow’s milk. If you desire spiritual life then drink the milk of God’s Word.

    I am sure the majority of you have watched the television commercials advertising milk with the catchy little slogan that says, “Got milk?” Maybe you recall the commercials of years gone by that said, “Milk, it does the body good.” What you can pick up from these slogans is that milk is good for ...read more
