Lost In Translation Series

Contributed by Tom Fuller on Jan 27, 2008

How well do you know Jesus, really? Jesus probes some Jews who say they believe but don’t. Jesus says the truth will set us free, but sometimes we are speaking a different language and so can’t understand what he is saying at first.

How well do you know Jesus? Some of us grew up in church and think we know him. He’s the guy who walked on water and changed water into wine and started that Golden Rule thing. Others know Jesus as a good man who gave us a lot of good advice on how to live. To others Jesus is love guy-love your ...read more

The High Priest

Contributed by Kenneth Bailey on Jun 13, 2001

Study in the High Priesthood of Christ and our response to His Priesthood.

The High Priest Today is April Fool’s Day. I toyed with the idea of making some sort of ludicrous statement and then proclaiming “April Fool’s!” but decided against that since I don’t want to ever mislead you, even in a time of jest. But as I was debating on how I would begin the sermon, I ...read more

Who's Your Daddy?

Contributed by Robbie Parsons on Jun 14, 2003

It is only natural for the children to resemble their parents in looks and manner. The same is true of our spiritual heritage. It is only natural that we should imitate and be like our spiritual father. But too many people want to practice religion an

INCONSISTENT CLAIMS - “ABRAHAM IS OUR FATHER” Verses 39-41a They claimed a linage to Abraham as their ticket to heaven. A Godly heritage can be a powerful influence, but never guarantees righteousness. They were really interested in honoring themselves, not Abraham. Jesus wanted them to see that ...read more

The Fruits Of Spiritual Comprehension

Contributed by Dennis Deese on Aug 5, 2003

Those who follow Confucius or Buddha or Krishna or Muhammad walk in darkness. The end of their road is the darkness of death. The person who follows Jesus walks in the light, and the end of that road is the light of life.

Why It Matters Exactly Who We Are Series

Contributed by Glenn Durham on Mar 18, 2008

God speaks truth to those who know themselves well enough to listen.

"The Testimony Of Three Fathers"

Contributed by Clark Tanner on Sep 11, 2007

Whose child are you?

I certainly do not want to imply any disrespect for one of the greatest hymn writers of the church; Charles Wesley, who gave us, among many others, such grand tributes to the majesty of God as “And Can it Be”, and “Christ the Lord is Risen Today” and “O, For a Thousand Tongues to Sing”. But I ...read more

Who's Your Daddy? Series

Contributed by Sherm Nichols on Oct 10, 2007

According to Jesus, a person’s actions and attitude will demonstrate who he has as father.

Few pictures from our family history speak more of family camaraderie than those of my dad with his 5 boys. I wouldn’t want to minimize Mom’s significance for a second, or fail to point out that my dad always said, “I have 5 sons, and each one of them has a sister!” But there’s something about ...read more

Your Struggle With Truth Series

Contributed by Chris Appleby on Aug 7, 2008

How do you decide when is the right time to tell the truth and when is the right time to keep silent?

I sometimes wonder whether God has structured these ten commandments with the most obvious sins first and the least obvious or most subtle at the end. Or is it just that our age has become blind to the last couple of commandments? Truth is a difficult concept in this day and age isn’t it? ...read more

Seeking A Father

Contributed by Jon Lipka on Feb 26, 2012

We are presented with two choices: so accept God as our Father, or to affiliate with the father of lies.

Let us pray. Heavenly Father, you have chosen the weak things of this world to shame the strong: send your Holy Spirit to enliven my words, and to open our ears, that your Word may fall as seed upon good ground, prepared for planting and ready to yield a good fruit; we ask this in the Name of the ...read more

Adapted By God

Contributed by Mike Cleveland on Dec 22, 2008

Jesus Christ paid the price for our adoption into the family of God.

In 1985 John and Martha Laughlin were informed that they were unable to have children, and yet they so longed for little ones that they began saving money to adopt a child.

God, The Greatest Promise Keeper

Contributed by Greg Nance on Dec 27, 2008

God’s word is true and his promises are sure but the liars voice seems so cleverly convincing. We must choose who we will trust.

Hebrews 1:3 The Son is the radiance of God’s glory and the exact representation of his being, sustaining all things by his powerful word. After he had provided purification for sins, he sat down at the right hand of the Majesty in heaven. 2 Peter 3:5 For this they willfully forget: that by the ...read more
