G od's Future Government
Pastor Michael Cisler E-mail Mike
North Kent Bible Church Rockford, Michigan
In the United States, we live in a great nation. The freedom here is unlike
anywhere in the world. But as great as our nation is, we're not perfect. We're
run by imperfect leaders. But there is a time that is coming in which a
kingdom will be established that will be run by a perfect ruler. We have
something great to look forward to as believers in Christ. God has promised
us a better hope than any man or nation can make. Have you heard the
promises?

M inistry as a Team
Pastor Jeff Fletcher E-mail Jeff
Bethel Church of God of the Abrahamic Faith, Pelzer, South Carolina
As a believer in Christ, we all have the same mission. But we all are given a
different part. God has uniquely equipped each of us to be a part of His
ministry. Like athletes on a sports team, it's up to us to train, to practice, and
perform so God will get the victory.

Plow a Straight Furrow
Pastor S.O. Ross
When a farmer is plowing, the worst thing you can do is to keep looking back
while you're still trying to go forward. The next thing you know, you've made a
crooked path. In the same way, as followers of Christ, we must keep our eyes
focused, looking ahead. We can't detour. We must plow a straight furrow,
always looking forward to the goal set before us.
Luke 9; Genesis 12; Philippians 3:13,14; Matthew 7:13,14; Hebrews 12:1,2

Is There a Life Before Dying?
Pastor E. Richard Smith
If you want a good life now, you won't find it in the things of this world. But if
you base your life on God's promises, and in His son, and on the better things
to come, then you'll being living a fulfilled life today. When you're tired and
weary, turn to God. So do you really want to start living today?

God's Purpose in the Bible
Pastor C.E. Lapp 7-14-1974
What is the best selling but the least read book? At least, that's how the
saying goes. In today's study, we examine the Bible and its purpose. To
understand the purpose, we need to know the author. And we all know the
Author. The Bible is not just a historical, scientific, philosophical, or literary
work. But it's all in there. God selected holy men to write His word, and in His
word, we find our purpose as instructed by faith and in God. The Bible truly is
the comprehensive equipment for a man of God.
2 Timothy 3:16; 1 Peter 3:21

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. God gave the first man and woman everything - but one
thing. And they still couldn't make it. Because of their disobedience, we still
are paying the penalty. They fell for the serpent's lie, and many today still fall
for the same lie. Find out the truth in today's message.
Genesis 3:1-7; James 1:12; 1 Corinthians 15; 1 Thessalonians 4:13-18
Today's message: T he Fall of Man

The Open Bible Pulpit: Hosea - Chapter 13 - Two Sides to Salvation
Pastor Chuck Jones E -mail C huck Visit Chuck's blog
Church of the Open Bible Pomona, California
In this series by Pastor Chuck, we're examining the prophecy from the book of
Hosea (753 - 722 B.C). The prophecy was not just for Israel's future, it's
relevant for our learning today. In today's message, we examine both sides of
salvation. What we're able to do on our own isn't good enough. If you want
salvation, you have to come, and get it. God won't drag anyone kicking and
screaming into the kingdom. So will you let God save you?
Hosea 13; John 3:5; Romans 5

I f A Man Dies, Shall He Live Again?
Pastor Scott Ross E-mail Scott
Jaynes Street Community Church of God Omaha, Nebraska
Birth. Life. Death. Is that it? Is there life after death? Is there something more
and greater to come? What does the Bible say? What is "eternal" life? When
will that life be? What is man's hope? In today's message, we examine one
of life's most asked - and most misunderstood - questions. In Job's
desperation, he speaks of a "change." And that change is the hope that
sustains us. And knowing that change causes us to change.
Job 14:1,13,14; John 3:16; Matthew 28:20; Mark 10:29,30; Hebrews 11;

Daniel Series #4 : The Head of Gold
Pastor Terry M. Ferrell E -mail Terry
Greenville Church of God, 217 White Oak Road, Greenville, SC 29605
In this continuing study on the book of Daniel, we begin examining
the details of Nebuchadnezzar's image in Daniel Chapter Two. In
today's message, we research "the head of gold." Why did God
choose Babylon? Why did God choose Nebuchadnezzar? In this
highly developed civilization, we find an influential empire whose
culture, science, time, and religion are still with us today.
Daniel 2:37,38; Ezekiel 21:25-27; Genesis 10:6

Reasons for Becoming a Christian
Brother David Krogh E-mail David
Cornerstone Bible Church McDonough, Georgia
What motivates you? What compels you? Most people are
motivated by three things: love, profit, and fear. In the word of God,
we find the same motivations. God's word compels us. God's
word answers our problems. And the word of God is the basis for
our hope. What will stir you? What decision will you make for God?

T he Priority of Choosing the Right Battles
Pastor Steve Taylor E-mail Steve 1 Timothy 1:18,19
Lakeshore Bible Church Tempe, Arizona
As Apostle Paul was writing to his son in the faith, he prescribed
the spiritual priorities for the next generation of Christians. In
today's message, we examine how we "fight the good fight" right
and protect the faith passed along to us.

T he Egg Heads Get Beat
Pastor Wally Winner E -mail W ally Acts 17:16-18,32
Joy Fellowship Church of God of the Abrahamic Faith
In this series on the book of Acts, we're examining the church of
the first-century Christians and what we can learn from this
dedicated fellowship of believers today. In today's message, we
once again find Paul encountering the false teachings of the world.
Everyone wants to know what happens when we die. Is there life
after this? There have been so many ideas, but the Bible tells us
of our hope...but are you ready for the answer?

The Last Words of Jesus, Part Two
Pastor Dave Hixon E-mail Dave
Brush Creek Church of God Tipp City, Ohio
Following the death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus, he appeared
to many of his followers before ascending to the Father. In the
words to the women immediately following his resurrection, we see
our hope, and we find our joy.
John 20; Matthew 28

Being A Man of God
Pastor Mike Montgomery E-mail Mike
Guthrie Grove Church of God of the Abrahamic Faith
1 Timothy 6
As the Apostle Paul writes Timothy, he gives him certain action
commands. Paul sums up his instructions with imperatives like "
flee, fight, keep, guard, take hold of." In his charge, we find the
contrast between being a man of this world and what it means to
be a man of God.

Believe and Receive Judges 6
Brother M. Lee Henderson
Given at Joy Fellowship Church of God of the Abrahamic Faith
Do you ever find yourself making excuses of why you can't serve
God? Do you feel like God should be picking someone more
important to be doing his work? Or maybe do you feel like God has
forgotten you? In the story of Gideon, we find an unexpected leader
chosen by God. Did he believe it? Not at first. Will you?

C hrist in You
Pastor Michael Cisler E-mail Mike
North Kent Bible Church Rockford, Michigan
Too often we believe we can't make an impact. We think we're too
small or unimportant to make a difference for God. But that's a lie.
God has big plans and big dreams for each one of us. And with
Christ in us, we have the power to affect the world with our ministry.
Colossians 1:24-29; Galatians 2:17-21; 2 Corinthians 12:7;
Hebrews 10:11-14; Philippians 4:10-13
