A braham Didn't Ask For Directions Either
Pastor Alan Cain E-mail A lan
Lawrenceville Church of God 4444 St. Paris Pike, Springfield, OH 45504
He was 75 years old, and he was called to pick up and move everything
and start going without knowing where he was headed or what was
waiting for him. Old Abraham, as we know him, was called. He obeyed,
and he was blessed with God's promise. And in Christ, we are a part of
the same promise. What do we learn? Where God wants you is better
than staying where you are. Staying where you are may be where God
doesn't want you. Will you answer His call? Will you obey Him no matter
what? He's waiting to bless you.

This week we continue our look into the best ingredients to make a
godly marriage, examining the third and fourth love needs: friendship

survive marriage, or you can choose to meet these needs and thrive in
your marriage. The choice is yours.

The Great Mystery
Vince Finnegan
Living Hope Community Church Latham, New York
Reading through the Old Testament, we are given details revealing that
there would come a man who would be a coming King, a descendant
from Abraham and David, the Messiah of Israel, who would bring
salvation to the world. The information was there along, but it wasn't
understood. It was a mystery to the people. But through Paul's writings,
we find the mystery that had been hidden has now been revealed.
Through Jesus Christ, God's redemption plan has been made complete.
And through Christ, we are grafted in to the same promises.

G et it? Got it? Good!

Lakeshore Bible Church Tempe, Arizona Check out Steve's blog
Jesus often chose to speak to the crowds in stories and parables.
Following the parable of the dragnet, he asks his disciples if they
understand. He was teaching to make the hidden secrets of the
kingdom visible for us to see. That was the purpose. Were they getting
it? Are we getting it? Are we seeing the kingdom revealed in our
everyday things?
Matthew 13:47-52,10; Jude 7; 2 Peter 2:6

After the Sunrise Radio Broadcast: "The Truth About Jesus"
Pastor Darrell Cardwell E-mail Darrell
North Salem Church of God Plymouth, Indiana
Jesus said, "I am the way, the truth, and the life." How important is the
truth? Today, we examine the scriptures to find out the truth about who
Jesus really is.

A re You Too Busy? - Part One
Pastor Dave Hixon E-mail Dave
Brush Creek Church of God Tipp City, Ohio
We've got a Bible filled with information, but sometimes, we think we
already know it all. But is simply thinking we know enough. With all the
knowledge that has been revealed to us, is that enough? Today, we
examine the importance of embracing and acting on what we know.
What do you know? What are you doing?
Hebrews 5:8; Titus 1:16; Matthew 25:14-30

L ost: One Sheep, One Coin, One Son
Pastor Joe Myers E-mail Joe
Cornerstone Bible Church McDonough, Georgia
Have you ever lost or misplaced something? The keys to your car? Your
glasses? Tickets to an event? You kept looking until you found them,
didn't you? Sometimes we think that if we do enough that God will love
us. But he already does. Each and every one of us is valuable to Him.
And God never stops searching until He finds us.
Luke 15; 16:14; Romans 5:6-8; Psalm 51:3,4; 1 John 4:7,8

H ere I Am to Worship
Pastor Jeff Fletcher E-mail Jeff
Bethel Church of God of the Abrahamic Faith, Pelzer, South Carolina
With so many different types of churches and ways we worship, is there
a right way or a wrong way? If there was anyone who was sincere
about his worship, it was King David. What does today's story have to
say? How should we worship?

P entecost
Pastor Michael Cisler E-mail Mic hael
North Kent Bible Church Rockford, Michigan
Three times a year all of the Jews were gathered to Jerusalem, drawing
a huge crowd for these big events. But at this particular Pentecost,
everything was about to change. A miracle was going to happen, and
soon everyone there would hear the gospel.

T he Saving Business
Scott Ross 12-2-1974
Christ is the center of time, the center of the Bible, the center of God's
redemption plan, and the center of our hope. Mankind has no escape
route without Jesus. But why did Christ come exactly when he did? Why
do we need to be saved? How does he save us? When do we
experience this salvation? What are you waiting for?

The Bible Truth Radio Broadcast: "What Does the Bible Teach About
Hell? - Part Two "
Z.B. Duncan 12-9-1984
Did you know there are 4 different words translated as "hell" in our
Bible? Why did Bible translators not translate it the same way each
time? What happens there? Where is it? What goes down there? Is
there conscious suffering in flames of fire? What does conventional
theology teach? What does the Bible really teach about "hell?" As we
continue our study, we examine "Gehenna" and hell-fire.

D oes God Handpick His Saints?
John Railton 5-2-1976
Has God already decided and determined who will or won't be saved?
Is there only a certain number who will be saved? Are we all
individually chosen by God? Does everyone have a chance? Are we all
predestined? Or is there criteria for being saved? What does the Bible
really teach? Who will be saved, and how are they chosen? In today's
message, we take a closer look at some commonly misunderstood
verses to find a deeper understanding of what they really mean about
our destiny.

W ords of Comfort
Pastor Chuck Jones E -mail C huck Visit Chuck's blog
Church of the Open Bible Pomona, California
We'd all like to believe that we'll be alive when Christ returns. But what
happens if we die before Jesus comes back? Is it all over for us? Will
we see our loved ones again? When? What will we be like? In today's
text, the Apostle Paul tells us not having the knowledge of our hope
makes us sorrow like those who have no hope at all. But
understanding the truth changes the way we think, behave, and live. As
believers, we know there's a great reunion day coming when Jesus
descends back to the earth. How does knowing he's returning change
how you will live today?

Kingdom Ministries is a completely faith-based ministry created to
simply and clearly proclaim the message of the Kingdom of God and to
share God's love in a practical way. In today's message, we find
