    Five Plus Two Does Not Equal Seven

    Contributed by Craig Condon on Apr 10, 2015
     | 4,658 views

    Following Jesus is a radical lifestyle, and Jesus asks us if we are willing to do the same. Are we willing to give up some of what we have, that others might not go hungry? Are we willing to give out of what God has given to us

    Have you ever heard of the saying, “Every dark cloud has a silver lining”? If so, then the story of the loaves and fishes is a good example. Let me explain. This story happens just after the death of John the Baptist. When Jesus heard that his cousin was beheaded, he did what some of ...read more

    Two things we need most are found in Jesus: real security and deep satisfaction.

    King Saul was a major disappointment. As you know, he was the first king of Israel, and he was everything you would want a king to be. When we first meet him in the pages of Scripture, we are told that he was “a handsome young man.” In fact, “there was not a man among the people ...read more

    This lesson is about not fighting because hey let's face it well all fight. Rather, using biblical principles let's learn how to fight fair.

    I want to talk to you today about fightin’. I don’t mean fist-fighting but verbal fighting, arguing. This is not a lesson designed to tell you to stop arguing per se. No, I want to share with you some wisdom from the Proverbs on how to fight fair. The truth of the matter is we fuss and ...read more

    The unique dangers and threats that wealth CAN pose to the Christian.

    GOD DELIGHTS IN THE CHEERFUL GIVER. Why do you give of your wealth to the Lord and His work? Do you do so out of a sense of religious obligation?

    This message examines Paul's warning against being judgmental.

    Has any of you ever been guilty of one of the most deadly sins? The sin I am talking about is the one Jesus attacked more often and directly than any other sin. Still clueless? This sin is the most widely justified and practiced sin in the world. I would even venture to say that this is the sin ...read more

    Cleansing The Temple Series

    Contributed by Christopher Benfield on May 9, 2018
     | 10,363 views

    As Jesus entered Jerusalem triumphantly, He entered the Temple, considering what He saw. Being displeased with much that was going on, He returned on Monday to set His Father's house in order.

    Cleansing the Temple Mark 11: 15-19 In our last study we discussed Jesus cursing the fig tree as He made His way to Jerusalem. While this was a physical act, it had spiritual implications. Jesus cursed the fig tree as He and the disciples were headed to the Temple on what most agree was Monday ...read more

    Jesus brings us real peace.

    THE PEACE THAT JESUS PROVIDES. One of the things that stands out to me from my seminary days is a lecture that one of my professors gave on the topic of the peace that Jesus has secured and gives to those whom He saves. Who knows where my notes are from that class but I do remember that this ...read more

    Hate Crimes

    Contributed by Kerry Haynes on Feb 10, 2020
    based on 1 rating
     | 7,383 views

    Jesus believed in hate crimes, because God knows the heart. Jesus urges us to resolve our murderous thoughts, make it right when we can, and settle out of court, all so that a watching world will take note of how Christian brothers and sisters get along.

    Matthew 5:21-26 Hate Crimes The FBI defines a hate crime as a “criminal offense against a person or property, motivated in whole or in part by an offender’s bias against a race, religion, disability, sexual orientation, ethnicity, gender, or gender identity.” A hate crime is not the same as hate ...read more

    Loving Through A Pandemic - The High Cost Of Real Love

    Contributed by Otis Mcmillan on Feb 4, 2021
     | 4,143 views

    Jesus' emphasis was that His followers were to love God with all their heart, soul and mind and then to love their neighbor as he loves himself regardless of the culture. Let's learn to Love God's way!

    I am always amazed to see those in Scripture and in life, who are willing to question Jesus and his word without any intention of learning and submitting to his word. There is a lawyer in the lesson who wished to make trial of the skill of Jesus in solving the intricate and difficult question as to ...read more
