Unfulfilled Prophecies - Part One
Pastor Dave Hixon    E-mail Dave
Brush Creek Church of God   Tipp City, Ohio
What if this generation lives through to see the Kingdom of God?  What if
we're the ones?  How do we know we're getting near the return of Christ?  
In today's message, we begin our opening study into end-time events that
could not have happened at any other time in history.  And as we look at
the prophecies, we realize we're closer now than we've ever been.
1 Thessalonians 4; 1 Corinthians 15; Matthew 24:3,22; Zechariah
12:1-3,9; 14:1;Luke 21:20-24; Daniel 11:40
Jesus Predicts His Death
Pastor John Railton     Email John
When Jesus came, he was not all that the people had hoped and
expected.  Instead of conquering the Romans, he conquered death by
laying down his life for us.  In the same way, we are required to lay down
our lives in this world for him.  We have to live in the light.  But if we
overvalue life in this present evil age, we will forfeit it in the age to come.
John 12:20-37, 42,43; Daniel 7
After the Sunrise Radio Broadcast:  Secret Agent Christian
Pastor Darrell Cardwell    E-mail Darrell
North Salem Church of God   Plymouth, Indiana
Are you afraid to admit you're a Christian?  Are you scared you might be
ridiculed by others for being one?  If you won't profess to following Christ,
are you really Christian at all?  In today's message from the gospel of John
3:1-16, we read about another "Secret Agent" disciple of Jesus.  Will
you
let the "secret" out?
John 3:1-16; 7:45-53; 19:30-42; Matthew 5:20; 10:32,33
Missions Mindset
Pastor Michael Cisler    E-mail Mike
North Kent Bible Church   Rockford, Michigan
How can we be a part of purposeful outreach?  How can what we do
impact others here and worldwide?  First, we have to change our
perspective.  It's not all about us.  God has equipped us for an important
mission.  It's up to us to accomplish what He has planned for us.  Jesus
said, "Go!"  That's an action.  So get off the couch, and "go!"
Where Do You Go For Water?
Pastor Jeff Fletcher  E-mail Jeff
Bethel Church of God of the Abrahamic Faith, Pelzer, South Carolina
What does Jeff's MRI have to do with your "go-to gods?"  Where do we go
first for strength and security?  Think about it.  Will you keep trying to dig
your own well, or will you drink from the springs of living water?  
Jeremiah 2:11; John 4:16

Build on the Rock
Pastor Walter Wiggins
What's the secret to successful building?  Well, first you have to start with
a firm foundation.  In today's study, we learn how to succeed by building a
church God's way.  What's the secret?  Let God build in our work, our
ministry, and our lives.
Matthew 7:24-29; Psalm 127:1; 1 Timothy 4:8
Be Found Awake When Jesus Comes
Pastor E. Richard Smith
In today's message, we are warned against complacency and
indifference.  We are to be waiting and ready for the coming of the
Bridegroom.  Will the Son of Man find faith when he returns to the earth?  
How much oil is in your lamp?  Will your lamp be lit?

The Open Bible Pulpit: True to His Teachings
Pastor Chuck Jones  E-mail Chuck    Visit Chuck's blog
Church of the Open Bible Pomona, California
Are you familiar with the expression, "Do as I say, not as I do" ?  It's not
unusual for people to live beneath their own set of standards.  As we
watch people in distress, we will see what they really believe.  Jesus
was no different - except when the pressure was on, he did what was
right.  When the world was against him, he chose to forgive.
Luke 23:31-38

What We Shall Be
Missional Living: As the Father Sent Me
Pastor Kyle Casey
North Hills Church of God  Springfield, Ohio
What does it mean to be "missional?"  Do you approach your personal
evangelism going "us to them" or waiting for "them to come to us"?  
Before Jesus left his disciples, he gave them some final words.  He
sent them into action.  He gave them a mission.  And we have the
same mission.  He said, "Go."  We are to penetrate the culture and live
out our faith in such a way that it is known everywhere.
Matthew 28:16; John 20:21-23
Daniel Series #12:  Vision of the Tree Cut Down
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 examining
the details of another vision of the prophet.  As we look at the life of
Nebuchadnezzar, we find him exalting himself as he looks over the
kingdom "that he has built."  The consequences of the king's remarks
reminded him that the kingdom, dominion, power, and glory is God's.  
And God - not men - exalts who he pleases according to His will.  And
we're reminded that one day God will exalt the most humble man who
ever lived to possess all the kingdoms of the earth.
Daniel  4; Revelation 12:14; 11:3; 13:5; Ezekiel 4:6; Acts 13; John 3
The Greatest of These is Love
Pastor James Ritch    E-mail Jim
Resurrection Hope Church of God (Abrahamic Faith)   
Lenoir, North Carolina
We can be many things and possess many things, but without love, we
are nothing.  That's what the Apostle Paul writes.  And isn't it so true?  
We look for love in so many of the wrong things in this world, but we
run from God's everlasting love.  And yet, even while we are sinners,
God never stops loving us.  Are you looking for love?  Why won't you
look to God?
Pretty Soon   Acts 24:22-25
Pastor Wally Winner     
E-mail Wally
Joy Fellowship Church of God of the Abrahamic Faith  Felix's
response to Paul was one of procrastination.  It is a dreaded disease
in which fortunes have been lost, promotions given to others, and
legislation ignored.  Paul made three points to Felix and Drusilla.  He
spoke of righteousness, temperance, and judgment.  Are we any
different than Felix today?  Do we put off God for another day?  It's time
to end our delay.
According to the Pattern
Pastor Hollis Partlowe
Dixon Church of God  Dixon, Illinois    Read more by Pastor Partlowe
The study of the tabernacle is one rich with meaning and symbolism.  
God gave very specific instructions to Moses for its construction.  God
wanted it built according to the pattern he laid out.  God has always
been very particular.  We must serve Him in His way.  And we must build
our lives according to the pattern of the life and work of Jesus Christ.

Did Jesus Really Die?
Ray Corbaley
Church of God, Faith of Abraham   Cashmere, Washington
Under continued violence and persecution, the earliest followers of
Jesus never stopped preaching.  Everywhere they travelled, they spoke
of this resurrected son of God.  But why does it matter if Jesus had
really been dead?  What do the scriptures record about the sacrificial
death of this perfect man?  Why would he die for sinners like us?
