How Long, O Lord?
Pastor Dave Hixon    E-mail Dave
Brush Creek Church of God   Tipp City, Ohio
Do you remember back when you were a kid and travelling?  What would you
keep asking..."Are we there yet?"  The same question continues to be asked by
God's people today.  How much longer?  As we face the trials and tribulations
in this world, we are reminded that Jesus has overcome the world.  As we
prepare for our crown, we must carry our cross.  Jesus didn't promise us a
joyride through this life.  But he has promised everlasting joy in the everlasting
life to come.  Are you anticipating that trumpet sound?
Rev. 6:9-11; 5:10; 22:16; John 16:33; 10:10; Micah 4:2; Hebrews 12; 2 Cor. 4:16
The Voice of Truth Broadcast:  Bird Talk
Pastor Jeff Fletcher  E-mail Jeff
Bethel Church of God of the Abrahamic Faith, Pelzer, South Carolina
A few complainers can spoil everything.  Complaining is contagious.  
Sometimes God puts us through the hard times and trials to prepare us and to
make us stronger.  These are all lessons we learn from the Israelites.  We've
been freed, so why do we still long for our "Egypts?"
How to Be Great
Pastor Michael Cisler    E-mail Mike    North Kent Bible Church   Rockford, MI
How do we become great?  What's the measure of greatness?  What are the
world's standards?  What are God's?  Who's the greatest?  In today's study, we
learn the truth from the example of Jesus.
The Good News of a Great God
Dr. Joe Martin    E-mail Joe    Atlanta Bible College  
There's plenty of bad news out there.  Sometimes our feelings go up and down
based on all the bad news.  But God will never let you down.  Even in the
hardest times, God is good.  And the most important truth and subject of the
Bible is the doctrine of who God is.  He loves you.  He wants to know you
personally.  He wants you in His kingdom.  So what do you know about your
Father?
Because Jesus Loved Us
John Lewis    1977
What was Jesus talking about and thinking about in the hours of his suffering
and agony?  What would our thoughts be?  When man is in his greatest
sorrow, the real strength and character comes out.  When Jesus was in his
greatest sorrow, he said, "Love."  He showed his love.  And, in fact, he
commanded us to love like he loved us.  It is how we are known.  It's not easy.  
It's not common.  It's Christian.
John 13; 1 Corinthians 10; Romans 12
The Keynote of Christianity
Alva Huffer   1977
The Christian life is characterized by triumph, joy, and victory.  The world is full
of sin and sorrow, discouragement, defeat, and despair.  But in Christ, we
know what the future holds.  Our hope is in the purpose and the plan of God.  
We look for the joy in the earth made new.  We rejoice in the confidence and
assurance we have.  We act differently.  We react differently.  We live differently.  
We live in victory.
1 Samuel 17:45-47; Isaiah 35; 55:12; Romans 8; Revelation 5:9,10;
2 Corinthians 5:4; Ephesians 1:13
The Widow's Mite
Z.B. Duncan   
Jesus was a poor man by the world's standards even though he could have
asked for all of the gold in the world.  He gave all that he had - his whole life -
so that we might live.  And with all the blessings that God has given to us, will
we give back all that He and his son deserve?
Mark 12:41-43; Malachi 3; 1 Kings 17; Eccl. 11:1; John 14; Isa. 41:10; 43:2

Psalms Series #8 - The Problem of Evil
Pastor Terry M. Ferrell   E-mail Terry
Greenville Church of God, 217 White Oak Road, Greenville, SC 29605
Why do evil people in this world seem to be the ones flourishing and
prospering?  Why aren't the righteous?  Why does God allow it?  In this world,
we can expect enemies and adversity.  But it's not up to us to repay evil for evil.  
With God, we know their time is coming.
Psalm 37:1-11; Psalm 73; Job 21:7
Spiritual Gifts: Complete Surrender
Pastor Wally Winner     E-mail Wally
Joy Fellowship Church of God of the Abrahamic Faith  Piedmont,
South Carolina
Jesus left us with an important work to do, but he didn't leave us
powerless to do it.  In this series, we are focusing on who we are
and what gifts we've been given to do his service.  We all have a part
in the body of Christ and must put our gifts to use for the good of the
body.  As we begin learning about our gifts, our first obligation is
complete surrender.
Romans 12:1-3, 5
Seeds of Greatness
Pastor Steve Taylor   E-mail Steve
Lakeshore Bible Church  Tempe, Arizona   Check out Steve's blog
In today's story, we focus on one of the shorter parables that Jesus
told.  In the story of a mustard seed, one of the tiniest seeds, we see
the tremendous potential of growth.  Are you inspired to have a vision
and enthusiasm for adding and multiplying the Kingdom of God?
Matthew 13:31,32; Acts 21:20; Daniel 2:35; Matthew 17:20
In My Father's House, There are Many Mansions...
Pastor Jim Shaull   E-mail Jim
In today's text, we examine one of the greatest, but most
misunderstood, scriptures in all of the Bible.  What is the passage
trying to say to us?  As we look at the meaning behind the words
themselves, we discover the treasure hidden under all of the
tradition.  Find out the meaningful truth today.
John 13:31-38; 14:1-4; 4:45-53; Genesis 7:1; Joshua 24:25;
Acts 25:13-16; John 1:29-33; 4:39,40; 7:6-9
The Gospel of John:  Showing Compassion Before Expecting
Conversion
Pastor Gary Burnham     E-mail Gary     Cornerstone Bible Church
If you don't ever care for people, they won't ever care for what you say
- no matter how much they may need to hear it.  We have to really
show personal concern for people. As we look into today's story
beside the pool of Bethesda, we learn how to show compassion
while sharing the truth by following the pattern of Jesus.
John 5:1-15; 9:1-3; Luke 13:1-5
Back to the Basics
Message given the weekend of Brush Creek's 150th Anniversary
Celebration
Pastor Bruce Reye    E-mail Bruce
Chapel Hill Church of God   Urbana, Ohio
Over time, we've gradually changed from the roots that were once our
basic foundations.  We have the precious truths, but sometimes we
avoid talking about them.  The message has been perverted.  There
is a difference in what we believe.  So let's make a difference before
it's too late.
1 Cor. 6:9,10; Acts 10:35; Psa. 33:12; Deut. 6:4; Genesis 1:26;
Luke 23:39-43; Heb. 11:39,40; 2 Tim. 4:1-4
Looking Beyond this Life
Pastor Seth Ross   E-mail Seth
North Hills Church of God   Springfield, Ohio
What is God's vision for your life?  What's God looking for?  In today's
message, we focus on keeping an eternal perspective and looking
beyond the "here and now" to make an impact for eternity.  Jesus is
coming back, and he's given us a great responsibility.  How are you
using it?  Are you spending - or investing?
Luke 19:11-26
Growth Begins with God
Pastor Jeff Fletcher  E-mail Jeff
Bethel Church of God of the Abrahamic Faith, Pelzer, South Carolina
There's sorrow in watching things die, but there's a certain joy in
watching things grow.  God wants us to grow.  He's given us the
potential for growth, and he wants us to cultivate and produce
spiritual fruit.  And he involves and invites each of us to be
participants and partners in the growing process that he wants.  
The Good News of the Coming Kingdom of God
Dr. Joe Martin    E-mail Joe    Atlanta Bible College  
Sometimes we hear about the coming kingdom so much that we fail
to appreciate the message enough.  Has it become too common?  
Can we talk about it too much?  It's still good news - right?  In today's
message, we cut through the confusion to get to the Bible truth.  
Jesus is coming back to raise the dead and rule in the kingdom of
God on the earth.  And he wants YOU to be a part of it!  Now that's
good news!
