The Open Bible Pulpit: 7 Statements from the Cross: "I Thirst"
Pastor Chuck Jones  E-mail Chuck    Visit Chuck's blog
Church of the Open Bible Pomona, California
Have you ever been in a management position and in charge of what
other people do?  When we ask people to do things, we expect them to
finish whatever it is we ask.  God is the same way in his managing.  And
Jesus fulfilled all that he was given to do.
John 19:28
Missional Living: Intimacy with God
Pastor Seth Ross    E-mail Seth
North Hills Church of God  Springfield, Ohio
If we have any hope of impacting our community around us, our faith
needs to cover every area of our lives.  But often "Christians" have a bad
perception in the world around us.  We have to be serious, sincere, and
authentic about our faith to change that perception.  And that starts with
coming closer to God in a personal relationship with Him and letting Him
consume our lives.
Daniel Series #16:  The Seventy Weeks
Pastor Terry M. Ferrell   E-mail Terry
Greenville Church of God, 217 White Oak Road, Greenville, SC 29605
In this thorough study on the book of Daniel, we continue our look through
the writing of the prophet.  In today's message, we examine the prophecy
of the seventy weeks.  Why is there a gap?  Is the prophecy continuous
history?  We're reminded that there is a time of desolation that is coming.  
We have to watch, and be ready, keeping our eyes on Israel.

One Came Running
Pastor Dick Eldred    E-mail Dick
Whether you know it or not, we're always living in constant fear.  In past
times, health scares have included the beubonic plague and polio.  
Unlike today, in Bible times, if you had leprosy, you went to the priest
instead of the doctor for a diagnosis.  If you had leprosy, you were unclean
and isolated as a social outcast.  You couldn't come close to anyone, and
no one wanted to come close to you.  You were lonely and miserable, just
waiting to die.  And then one day Jesus came and changed everything for
10 leprous men.  No longer unclean!  Glory to God!  They all went off
rejoicing.But only one returned.  But isn't it the same for us?  We've been
cleansed from our sin by the same man.  But when was the last time you
got on your knees just to say, "thank you" for our healing and rejoiced for
all that he has done?        Leviticus 13:1-8, 45; Luke 17:11-19; Acts 3
Celebration and Clarification on the Road to Jerusalem
Pastor Steve Taylor   E-mail Steve
Lakeshore Bible Church  Tempe, Arizona   Check out Steve's blog
Perhaps no one has been more misunderstood than Jesus.  Despite his
best efforts to try to explain the plan and the will of God, those that
followed him did not grasp the truth.  His followers had certain
expectations they were anticipating, and they were about to be very
disappointed.  In today's message, we examine an important parable that
Jesus tells as they paused on their way to the city.  And as we travel the
road with Jesus, are we listening too?
Mark 9:31,32; 10:32; Luke 19:11-27  
American Idols: Putting a Lid on Materialism 1 Timothy 6:6-10
Pastor Wally Winner     
E-mail Wally
Joy Fellowship Church of God of the Abrahamic Faith  
In this new series on "American idols," we begin by looking at the idol of
materialism.  We love money.  We love cars.  We love stuff.  However, if we
don't hold our materialistic attitudes in check, they can destroy us.  A
materialistic mind set causes you to think you never have enough.  It
causes you to make bad decisions.  It will make you think primarily of
yourself and causes a lot of pain.  The way to destroy this idol is through
spiritual contentment.  And the more content we become in God, and with
what we have, the more God can trust us with abundance.
Newness of Life in Christ
Pastor Mike Montgomery
Guthrie Grove Church of God of the Abrahamic Faith    
In today's message, we look at the story of the first miracle in the public
ministry of Jesus.  He brought a new creation out of the old jars of water.  
And when we enter Christ, we obtain a newness of life.  We are a new
creation delivered from the power and the penalty of sin and living with the
peace of God.  We receive a pardoned life and will receive a promised life
ahead.  It's a "super-abundance" of life.

After the Sunrise Radio Broadcast:  "Give Him Another Excuse"
Pastor Darrell Cardwell    E-mail Darrell
North Salem Church of God   Plymouth, Indiana
Have you ever made an excuse why you can't serve God today?  Or
maybe you're just looking for an excuse not to?  In today's whale of a
tale, we hear about one man who went to some extreme measures
not to serve God.  But God had bigger plans...
What Now?
Pastor Dave Hixon    E-mail Dave
Brush Creek Church of God   Tipp City, Ohio
Jesus gave his disciples one simple command before he ascended
to his Father.  He said, "Go and make disciples."  It's the same
command for us.  But he didn't leave us empty handed.  Are you
proclaiming his message with the power he gave us?
A Storm is Coming
Pastor Neal Bryant
Abundant Life Community Church  Rockford, Illinois
When a big storm is coming, we hear and see all kinds of weather
alerts.  We're warned to take cover, or get away.  The Bible has
warned us too.  We can see the signs.  There's a big storm coming to
this world.  Are you ready?

Looking for Jesus
Pastor Jeff Fletcher  E-mail Jeff
Bethel Church of God of the Abrahamic Faith, Pelzer, South Carolina
What would you do in a disaster?  What's your plan?  What would you
do just in case?  After man's fall, God has provided his children with a
"disaster relief plan."  He knew we couldn't rescue ourselves, so he
provided an escape.  And He has also given us warnings of coming
disaster.  The day is coming just as He has said.  Will you be prepared?
The Faithfulness of God
Pastor Michael Cisler    E-mail Mike
North Kent Bible Church   Rockford, Michigan
We have a God who is faithful - often, even when we're not.  He has
made promises to his children, and he always keep them.  He'll never
let us fall.  He always provides.  We can always rely on Him - even
when we can't rely on the world.  And he gives us the opportunity to
walk in faith, following Him.
Soul-Winning
Fred Pensyl    2-17-1974
It may not always be comfortable.  Often, it's not.  It may not always be
easy.  It usually isn't.  But God has given us a special work
assignment until Jesus returns.  We have been given the most
important task of all: to bring lives to the saving message of the
gospel.  Fred helps us learn some practical, biblical steps to
becoming a "soul-winner" for the Lord.
In the World, Not of It   John 17:11
Pastor Kenneth Milne    6-9-1974
What does it really mean to be "in the world, but not of the world?"  Do
we keep ourselves entirely separated from the world?  Or does it
mean we live a separate way?  And in what way can living a Christian
life mean we're living like we're really "out of this world?"
Share Your Burdens
Russ Dickerson    3-9-1975
Just because we're Christian doesn't mean our lives won't have
problems.  Being a Christian doesn't mean we won't feel lonely or
have sorrows.  But being a Christian does mean we have someone
who will always be with us whenever we face life's problems.  And
being a part of the body of Christ means we'll never walk alone.

   After the flood, when the waters had subsided, Noah and his family
left the ark and were commanded to multiply and repopulate the earth.
 God made a new covenant never to destroy the earth the same way
again.  But it didn't take long for man to disobey - and for God to
intervene...Find out in today's program:
