I Met Him When I Had No Choice Series

Contributed by Gordon Pike on Mar 28, 2021

Jesus stands before Pilate. It seems that Jesus is being swept away by the events surrounding Him but the TRUTH is that Jesus is the only one in control. It is Pilate and the Jewish leaders who are being swept up in a battle that they cannot see or control.

Governor Pilate stood on the balcony of the praetorium, his headquarters, and looked down at the mobs milling around in the streets below. “Ugh!” he thought. Jewish pilgrims, priests, vendors, thieves, rebels, beggars, prostitutes … rabble! … all crammed into Jerusalem’s narrow streets … and it ...read more

Lead Like King Solomon

Contributed by Michael Bates on Sep 5, 2023

King Solomon was not only a great O.T. king but he was also a great leader. Solomon's wisdom and leadership helped turn the nation of Israel into a great world power during O.T. times. King Solomon's leadership and wisdom can be applied today in every life situation.

Solomon brought her to the city of David until he finished building his palace, the Lord’s temple, and the wall surrounding Jerusalem. However, the people were sacrificing on the ...read more

The Triumphal Entry

Contributed by Revd. Martin Dale on May 1, 2003

Is he the King that you welcome into your hearts– like the crowds did that Sunday 2000 years ago or Is he that uncomfortable person that you would like to get rid of, like the Jewish leaders did 2000 years ago.

"Life's Most Difficult Blow"

Contributed by Dennis Deese on Aug 17, 2002

How many times has the notice of the death of someone dearly loved by a leader been the breaking point of their life? I believe that life’s most difficult blow for the Christian is not their own death but the death of those we are closest to.

Globalwarming B.c.

Contributed by Mark Aarssen on Aug 18, 2007

Climate change is not a new thing. In fact the bible records how society dealt with it in the 9th century B.C. Two leaders had very different ideas about how to solve the crisis. One chose the living God.

Even in our present age we are faced with two powerful leaders who seem to be destined to square off over God, Religion and ...read more

Urgent

Contributed by Mike Gillett on Feb 28, 2007

Doing the tasks that really aren’t necessary rather then doing the important. The value of accountability, wisdom and counsel of godly leaders, such as, looking at a schedule and projecting how I will use the time God has given me for His glory.

URGENT John 11:9 I love to read and study, but sometimes I find myself doing the tasks that really aren’t necessary. Do we give up the important for the urgent?
