A Much Needed Source Of Power

Contributed by David Mcgowin on Apr 27, 2006

Too many Christians are working without a Source of power in their lives and they are virtually useless because they don’t have the spiritual power necessary to do the work of God.

A Much Needed Source of Power John 20:19-31 04/23/06 I bought my vehicle in May of 2002, brand spanking new, and drove it proudly off the lot. As of today, that car has carried me 197,600 miles on the highways and byways of my life. I wonder how many gallons of gas I’ve used and how much money ...read more

Doubtless Belief

Contributed by Charles Mallory on Aug 10, 2006

Our faith must be an active faith. It must come alive to bring others to Christ.

I FIND IT INTERESTING THAT THOMAS MISSED THE FIRST EASTER APPEARANCE OF JESUS. WHAT I FIND TO BE EVEN MORE INTRIGUING IS THE FACT THAT THE DISCIPLES ARE STILL HIDING BEHIND A LOCKED DOOR ONE WEEK FOLLOWING THEIR ENCOUNTER WITH THE RISNEN CHRIST. I THINK THOMAS GETS A BUM RAP AS THE “LONE” DISCIPLE ...read more

Would You Believe...? Series

Contributed by Jeff Strite on Jul 27, 2008

John repeatedly explains how critical "believing" is to the Christian. In fact he stresses faith nearly twice as much as the other 3 gospels. Why?

(We opened with a 50 seconds cut from Don Adams in “Get Smart” - the episode called “Mr. Big” found on youtube.com - where Maxwell Smart goes into his “Would You Believe” routine.) “Would you believe?” It was one of the funnier skits that Don Adams developed for his sitcom “Get Smart”. And what ...read more

A Slow Fade In Series

Contributed by Tom Fuller on May 19, 2008

The reality of the resurrection dawned slowly on those involved. Each was missing a crucial piece of the story. How does Jesus put the story of His new life together for you?

In broadcasting or film making there are several types of ways of getting from one scene to another. Two of the most common are a cut and a fade. In a cut one scene is suddenly replaced with another. In a fade one scene fades out to black and is then slowly replaced with another that fades back up ...read more
