  • Why Am I A Member of the church of Christ – Part 4

    A seed will produce after its own kind. An Apple seed cannot bring forth a Peach tree. A Wheat seed cannot bring forth a Pecan tree. A Grape seed cannot bring forth a Watermelon. Now, “The seed is the word of God” (Luke 8:11b). When THAT seed is planted, what will come of it? They got Christians (Acts 11:26). And when the church teaches and practices what Christ and the apostles taught and practiced, you can only get ONE THING—GOD’S CHURCH— CHRIST’S CHURCH—THE CHURCH OF CHRIST! That is why I am a member of the church of Christ.

  • Events of Super Significance

    Events of super significance are true stories so mind blowing that you never forget them. The miracles of Jesus, the death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus, and the ascension of Jesus were these kinds of events. Each person would understand that the apostles told the truth about Jesus and His work. I hope that each person would come to believe and obey the gospel because it is true.

  • I Know My Mother Loved Me

    I know my mother loved me because 1) She disciplined me when I did wrong, 2) She cared for me when I was sick, 3) She fed and clothed me even when I was rebellious. 4) She taught me God's word. Each should be able to recall their mother's love for them and God's love for us to honor God's creation of mothers.

To support and encourage each person as they fulfill their role in the family.

  • Imitating God’s Forgiveness – Part 3

    How does God forgive?  God forgives generously.  One of the greatest statements in the Bible concerning God’s forgiveness occurs in Psalm 103:10-14.  "He hath not dealt with us after our sins; nor rewarded us according to our iniquities.  For as the heaven is high above the earth, so great is his mercy toward them that fear him.  As far as the east is from the west, so far hath he removed our transgressions from us.  Like as a father pitieth his children, so the LORD pitieth them that fear him.  For he knoweth our frame; he remembereth that we are dust."

  • Love is Kind

    Love is kind, and kindness comes from God and His Spirit because God is love, and the Bible reveals 1) God is Kind, 2) How to be Kind, and 3) People who were Kind. Each person should be able to understand more about kindness in the Bible and what it means to be kind.

  • Imitating God’s Forgiveness – Part 2

    Who does God forgive?  God forgives all men potentially and the penitent actually.  As indicated by the future tense, Jesus spoke about potential forgiveness in Mark 3:28 “All sins shall be forgiven unto the sons of men, and blasphemies wherewith soever they shall blaspheme.”  Actual forgiveness, however, comes when an individual repents and turns to God in obedience (Mark 4:12).

  • Imitating God’s Forgiveness – Part 1

    The perfect standard for behavior is God, and the gospel exhorts all to be perfect as God is perfect.  This entails that one imitate God as much as is possible.  “Be ye therefore imitators of God, as beloved children” (Ephesians 5:1 ASV).  We would do well to imitate God when it comes to forgiveness. Second Peter 3:9 says that God “not willing that any should perish but that all should come to repentance.”

  • Well Pleasing – Part 6

    The bottom line is that if we want to be pleasing to God, we can be pleasing to God! Why would one NOT want to please God? The only reason I can think of is so that he can please himself instead of God, and, this is what many choose to do. Remember Matthew 7:23? “And then I will declare to them, ‘I never knew you; depart from Me, you who practice lawlessness!’”

  • Loving God's Word

    The Book of Life

    In this lesson we will study what the Bible has to say about the book of life. 1) What is this book? 2) Who does the writing? 3) Who are written in it? 4) Who are not written in it? Each hearer should desire to have their name in the book of life and to do what it takes to keep it there. To motivate the hearer to secure their salvation in Christ.

  • Well Pleasing – Part 5

    To be God’s people today, we must, as Paul said, undergo circumcision of the heart. Colossians 2:11-12 says, “In Him you were also circumcised with the circumcision made without hands, by putting off the body of the sins of the flesh, by the circumcision of Christ, buried with Him in baptism, in which you also were raised with Him through faith in the working of God, who raised Him from the dead.” When one is baptized, a person is forgiven of sin and his heart is circumcised.
