    On the other side of Easter, we are challenged to live as transformed people, fully alive in Christ. As we delve into the Word, let's explore what it means to move from being fishermen to shepherds, from the wrong side to the right side of Easter.

    What if God began to calculate your good deeds? How long would your personal tape be? What if He were to get a separate calculator out for the things you’ve done wrong, how long would that tape be?

    Every single Christian and every church will need revival. Revival is part of the pattern the Holy Spirit uses to reconnect you to the gospel.1 Revival and spiritual awakening is when a group of people rediscover the power of the gospel.

    Out-Of-The-Box-Worship

    Contributed by Ajai Prakash on Apr 24, 2024
     | 1,167 views

    Worship doesn’t involve behaving as if nothing is wrong; it’s making sure everything is right—right with God and with one another. When our greatest fear is letting down our hair, perhaps our greatest sin is keeping it up.

    Opening illustration: Some of us may feel pressured to be perfect when we go to church so that people will think well of us. Metaphorically speaking, we work hard to make sure we have every hair in place. But a healthy church is a place where we can let down our hair and not hide our flaws behind a ...read more

    The Meaning And Purpose Of Life

    Contributed by John Newbaker on Jul 10, 2021
     | 7,554 views

    There are many people today who feel that life doesn’t have meaning and purpose. They feel empty. Nothing interests them. They have no drive, no determination, and no desires. They’re depressed, discouraged, disillusioned, and dissatisfied. They feel they have no hope.

    I want to start off by asking 2 questions: 1/ Does this life have meaning and purpose, and if so, 2/ Where can we find the meaning and purpose of life? There are many people today who feel that life doesn’t have meaning and purpose. They feel empty. Nothing interests them. They have no ...read more

    Fellowshipping With The Father And The Son - Part 8

    Contributed by Chuck Brooks on Jul 30, 2020
     | 1,485 views

    John didn't want his readers to willingly fall short of God's holy standard. If you are a true believer you will not want to sin. Having a desire not to sin is one of the proofs you are a believer.

    Review The Gnostics said they had no sin, blaming their sinful acts on their body. John was setting the record straight for his readers. The bad new John tells us is that we do sin. The good news is that if we confess our sin God is faithful and righteous to forgive us our sin and cleanse us ...read more

    . Too many people do this still today, they run to God’s grace desiring eternal life in heaven, but quickly pull back from God at the first hint of obligation or responsibility to this grace we freely enjoy.

    Intro: A little boy was sick on Palm Sunday and stayed home from church with his mother. His father returned from church holding a palm branch.

    When people wrong us, insult us or take our property, we want to see them pay for what they did to us. The question we all need to ask ourselves today is, “Are we willing to go the extra mile for Jesus?”

    One winter day a man went shopping at the local neighborhood mall. When he returned to his car he noticed a rather foul odor coming from under the hood and so he checked the engine.

    In this exposition of Romans 4:4-8, we see the logic of grace and David's testimony affirming justification by faith. This way of salvation is something the angels desire to look into and something that will bring everlasting glory to God.

    Intro Follow with me as we read Romans 4:1-3: “What then shall we say that Abraham, our forefather according to the flesh, discovered in this matter? 2 If, in fact, Abraham was justified by works, he had something to boast about—but not before God. 3 What does Scripture say? “Abraham believed God, ...read more
