T hrough the Storms (On the Rocks)
Pastor Jeff Fletcher E-mail Jeff
Bethel Church of God of the Abrahamic Faith, Pelzer, South Carolina
Storms can be frightening. Sometimes all we see is the wind and the
waves, and we wonder how, and if, we're going to make it through.
Sometimes marriage can become a little stormy too. Often people enter
marriage with unrealistic expectations and start looking for a way out. In
today's message, Pastor Jeff throws out a "life preserver" for your
marriage and explains the four basic expectations from the example of
God's covenant with Israel.

Y ou Can Expect God in Your Life 11-12-1972
Kent Ross E-mail Kent
We're told to, "ask, and it shall be given." And God is not a liar. The
same God still has the answers for all of life's problems - but they don't
always come easily. They come from those sincerely asking, seeking,
knocking, searching, praying, hungering, and thirsting for Him. God is
always there for you. But will you be there for Him?

The Bible Truth Radio Broadcast: "What Does the Bible Teach About
Heaven?" 11-4-1984
Z.B. Duncan
Because many people have been pressured by the world's
philosophies, the truth of what the Bible teaches is sometimes pushed
off into the background. What does the Bible really teach and have to say
about "going to heaven?" What did Jesus say? What's the truth? Will
the kingdom be coming, or will we be going? When and where will man
be rewarded?

C hildren: A Heritage from the Lord 6-24-1973
Rex Cain E-mail Rex
What else is there in this short life that you can invest in more than your
children? There's no more priceless possession. And we can learn a
lot from the lessons the Bible teaches us about children and what
children can teach us about faith, believing the truth, and entering the
Kingdom of God.

The Open Bible Pulpit: The Experience of Prayer
Pastor Chuck Jones E -mail C huck Visit Chuck's blog
Church of the Open Bible Pomona, California
What do we experience when we pray? Do we experience God's
presence? In today's message, we examine how Jesus prayed. When
he prayed, things happened. When his apostles prayed, things
happened. When we pray, are things happening?

The Voice of Tomorrow Broadcast with Pastor Dale Swartz E -mail Dale
A broadcast ministry of Kingdom Ministries, Inc (Litchfield, Minnesota).
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 examine
God's test of Abraham. God asked him to sacrifice his only son, the one
he had been promised, and Abraham obeyed. What did Abraham
believe and think? What about God's only son? Surely God's power
could bring men: B ack to Life

How to Be a Christian All the Time
Pastor Michael Brown E-mail Michael
Glad Tidings Church of God Fonthill, Ontario, Canada
What does it mean to be a Christian? Christians can easily fall into the
notion that being a Christian is what you do instead of what you
become. Some say they're a Christian, but they're really not sure that
they are. How can we know? Are we just one big sin from being off
probation? Find out the truth today.

Holy Spirit Series #1 - The Holy Spirit
Pastor Terry M. Ferrell E -mail Terry
Greenville Church of God, 217 White Oak Road, Greenville, SC 29605
In today's message, we begin a new study to research and examine
what the Bible really teaches about the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit can
be a confusing subject filled with a lot of misunderstandings and
misinformation. What do the words "Holy Spirit" themselves mean?
How are the words used and interpreted? Can the Holy Spirit of God
also be God? As we look closer, we find the Holy Spirit by which God
created is the same by which Mary conceived and by which God's word
was given, recorded, confirmed, and preserved.

N oah - A Lifetime of Courage
Pastor Alan Cain E-mail A lan
Lawrenceville Church of God 4444 St. Paris Pike, Springfield, OH 45504
It had never rained before, and God asked Noah to build an ark on dry
land. It would take 100 years to build. Noah would have to live on the
ark for over a year with at least two of every kind of animal. He and his
family would be criticized and ridiculed. That's commitment. But Noah
was convinced of things unseen. He believed God and brought
salvation to his household. Jesus also warns us of a time like Noah's
ahead. God won't put up with all of the evil on this earth much longer.
Many will try to convince us to give up. But that day is coming. Are you
building an ark of salvation before it's too late?

T he Family Circle: The Four Love Needs of Men and Women, Part One
Wally Winner E -mail W ally
Joy Fellowship Church of God of the Abrahamic Faith Piedmont, South
Carolina
This week we begin our look into the best ingredients to make godly
families. Following "The Good Wife's Guide" (from a 1955 article from
Housekeeping Monthly), we examine the first two love needs of men
and women: unconditional love and intimacy.

I Thought You Would Call Me Father
Dr. Joe Martin, Atlanta Bible College E-mail Joe
Did you know that the God we worship has a name? In fact, in the
Bible, His individual, personal name is used almost 7000 times. God
tells us exactly who He is. His unique name is important. It's critical
that we know it. But why did it go from a proper name to a generic
"LORD" or "GOD" when the scriptures were translated? Why aren't we
honoring the unchanged name of the Lord our God? Why do we avoid
it? Traditions that are wrong are still wrong. Let's start getting it right.

I Dare You!
Pastor Larry Mayberry E-mail Larry
Pennellwood Church of God Wyoming Michigan
I dare you. These three, harmless little words can get you into so much
trouble. Do you remember any of those high school pranks? Often the
person only dared you because they didn't want to do it. It's different with
Jesus though. He doesn't dare us. He doesn't ask us to do anything he
himself hasn't already done. He didn't deserve to die, but he gave his
life. Are you willing to follow him? Are you willing to tell others why you
follow him? I dare you!

S eeing Christ in the Furnishings of the Holy Place
Pastor Mike Montgomery E-mail Mike
G uthrie Grove Church of God of the Abrahamic Faith
We continue our look at the design and the pattern of the tabernacle and
how its details pointed ahead to the coming Messiah, God's son. Today,
we look at three of the furnishings: The lampstand, the Table of
Showbread, and the Golden Altar of Incense. Looking at these items
that were involved daily in the ministry to God by the priest, we see how
they speak to the daily life, worship, and service to the believer today.
