Bearing Fruit by Kim Reisman

Kim Reisman May 25, 2023

Scripture focus: Oh the joys of those who do not follow the advice of the wicked, or stand around with sinners, or join in with scoffers. But they delight in doing everything the Lord wants, day and night they think about his law. They are like trees planted along the riverbank, bearing fruit each season without fail. Their leaves never

Questions and Doubts Can be Keys to Evangelism by Rob Haynes

Rob Haynes May 10, 2023

When I talk to some Christians about sharing their faith with others, they seem scared or even threatened. Often their concern is that someone may resist their efforts at evangelism and ask them questions they cannot immediately answer. However, in Scripture we see that God is not afraid of peoples’ doubts. The account of the Resurrected Jesus’ interaction with Thomas

Praying From The Heart by Kim Reisman

Kim Reisman May 3, 2023

Scripture focus: And so they reached Jericho. Later, as Jesus and his disciples left town, a great crowd was following. A blind beggar named Bartimaeus (son of Timaeus) was sitting beside the road as Jesus was going by. When Bartimaeus heard that Jesus from Nazareth was nearby, he began to shout out, “Jesus, Son of David, have mercy on me!”

Why Share Your Faith by Rob Haynes

Rob Haynes April 13, 2023

Why share your faith? The Father uses your fallout Evangelism has gotten a bad name over the last few years. For more reasons than we have time to go into in this article, “The ‘E’ Word” is a problem for many people in some parts of the world. Recent polls show that younger generations of Christians in many parts of

Creating The Yet To Be by Kim Reisman

Kim Reisman March 31, 2023

Scripture focus: You can ask for anything in my name, and I will do it, because the work of the Son brings glory to the Father. Yes, ask anything in my name, and I will do it! (John 14:13-14, NLT) Very soon we will be celebrating the resurrection of Jesus of Nazareth, by God through the power of the

Beauty and Brokenness by Kim Reisman

Kim Reisman March 8, 2023

My mother and sister are artists. I am not. I have other gifts (lest anyone worry about my self-esteem), but art isn’t one of them. That’s why I love spending time with my mother and sister. There is something entirely different and inspiring about the creativity God has given them. Years ago, my sister spent a week with me while

Trusting Our Instincts by Kim Reisman

Kim Reisman February 23, 2023

Scripture focus: When Jesus came to the region of Caesarea Philippi, he asked his disciples, “Who do people say that the Son of Man is?” “Well,” they replied, “some say John the Baptist, some say Elijah, and others say Jeremiah or one of the other prophets. ”Then he asked them, “Who do you say I am?” Simon Peter answered, “You

A Sweet Gentleness by Kim Reisman

Kim Reisman February 21, 2023

Today is Ash Wednesday, the day Christians all over the world mark the beginning of Lent, many with ashes and prayer and fasting. This is not a day when we usually read the resurrection portion of the gospels, but considering the powerful and visible ways the Holy Spirit has been moving these past few weeks, this may be a good

Three-Stranded Cords by Rob Haynes

Rob Haynes February 9, 2023

A few years ago, in a town not too far away, there was a traffic accident involving a car and a motorcycle. The person driving the car was unhurt and was able to walk away from the accident. However, the motorcyclist was trapped under the car and unable to move, though he was still conscious and alert. A witness to

If You’re Wanting More from Your Devotionals, Try This by Tom Fuerst

Tom Fuerst October 19, 2015

For many of us, when we read the Bible, we read it from the perspective of people who need encouragement, therapy, challenge, hope, or even love. These are all good things that we do, indeed, need. But usually these needs arise from a larger situation that involves someone or something hurting us. For example, we need encouragement because a boss

A More Excellent Way by Jeff Rudy

Jeff Rudy October 17, 2015

The heartbeat of the Church is Christ. We’re only here because of him; because of his love. Christ is the reason we are. Christ is all our reasons.

Soul Seasons by Carrie Carter

Carrie Carter October 15, 2015

“For everything there is a season, a time for every activity under heaven.” – Ecclesiastes 3:1 In case you didn’t know it, fall has arrived. The earth tilts on its axis and the days shorten, the air grows crisp, leaves change from green to varying hues of red, orange, and yellow, and combines roar through fields of golden-brown corn, stirring

Infant Baptism and Beyond: A Systematic Approach (Part III) by Ken Loyer

Ken Loyer October 14, 2015

“I hope you’ll always remember that God loves you so much—more than I can even say—and has a wonderful plan for your life. We at the Church are here to help you discover the special life that God made you to live.”

I’m a PK: A Preacher’s Kid by Justus Hunter

Justus Hunter October 12, 2015

We carry our great preachers around in the corners of our soul. They wait there to surprise us. They wait there to revive us.

Marriage, Human Sexuality, and the Body: Let’s Go Back to the Beginning by Timothy Tennent

Timothy Tennent October 7, 2015

Discussions about marriage, divorce and issues of human sexuality are not new. What is new is our unpreparedness for the current questions being asked.

The Curse of Wisdom by Tom Fuerst

Tom Fuerst October 5, 2015

Wisdom is not just an intelligence bomb that God drops on us one day when we get our first gray hair. It’s not an intellectual realization that hits us one day simply because we’re aged. We’ve all known older folks who are foolish. No, wisdom has less to do with gray hair and more to do with the experience of

The Healer: Healing The Spirit And Flesh In The Gospel Of Mark by Andy Stoddard

Andy Stoddard September 30, 2015

You can look at some of the big picture issues of location and context and fear within Mark 5:1-19. Today I want to look at little bit a the people involved in this story: Jesus Heals the Gerasene Demoniac They came to the other side of the sea, to the country of the Gerasenes. And when he had stepped out

He Had a Name by Omar Rikabi

Omar Al-Rikabi September 28, 2015

The first name given in creation was Adam. It means humanity.

The Scripture story tells us that God, through Jesus Christ, created all of humanity in his image and breathed into us the breath of life.

I thought of Adam when I saw the first hashtag given to Aylan’s story: Humanity Washed Ashore.

Metaphor And Love by Aaron Perry

Aaron Perry September 24, 2015

I can still see them. More than that, I can still sense them: The images from the first horror movie I encountered, unwittingly, at five or six years of age. This is more than a little disconcerting considering the images are rooted in the organ with which I make life’s major decisions. My brain is shaped, literally, with these images.
