A question of Why
Throughout the Gospels, we see an overview of the life of Jesus as He lived here on this Earth. According to the inspiration of God in John 21:25, the world in which we live cannot hold all the books about Jesus that could be written. As you and I study the life of the Perfect One, we often ask ourselves: “Why did He do that or why did He do it that way?”. In my opinion, it is questions like…
A Difference in Evangelism
We have been taught for years the lost are out there, somewhere and we need to be searching for those people. The other end of this spectrum is that we need to make sure we convert our young ones. Both of these statements are true but they are not the only times that evangelism is needed. I believe that evangelism is the most under-followed command of God for the individual Christian. God has not been specific on how we are…
A Difference in Organization
We are placed into a certain category by other people. The Lord’s church is often put into the category of “Christianity”. The religious world has only a few distinctions: Christianity, Jewish, Muslim and a few others. Do you realize that there are at least 4,000 different versions of “Christianity” as it is known by the world. However, God has only designated one church. A difference between the church for which Jesus died and the rest of the religious world is…
The Lord’s church is different…
We live in a world that hears the word “church” and the image that explodes into the mind of the world is a building with a steeple. The world sees the building as holy. It is almost impossible to change the mindset of 7 billion, however, it needs to be realized that the church is different. As we explore this idea, notice that the church is different due to her worship. The church is different when we see her worship…
Blaze and PTP Spark Is for You!
Job said in Job 3:25: “That which I have greatly feared is come upon me…” As for us, those things for which we have painstakingly prepared are within reach. Blaze will be this weekend and PTP-SPARK will begin in one week. THESE EVENTS ARE FOR ALL OF US!!! The theme of BLAZE is “Going Home”. We will study the desire we have to go to Heaven when this life is over. “Going Home” is designed for those of all ages.…
What’s Coming Up in October
The month of October will be action-packed here in Hot Springs. I hope you are ready for a great month! We have a very unique opportunity lying before us. It is up to us what we will do with that opportunity. We will host our annual youth weekend and a 4 -day event for the brotherhood in our nation. Our BLAZE weekend will be a much anticipated time to gather with our friends from other states. BLAZE is designed to…
Faithful for Life
The faith of the Bible is seen very clearly in the eleventh chapter of Hebrews. We have renamed this chapter Faith’s Hall of Fame. We read about men and women who lived lives that point out to us the need for us to be faithful unto our Holy and Righteous God. Let’s take a few moments to understand faith. Faith is defined in Hebrews 11:1 as “the substance of things hoped for and the evidence of things not seen.” The…
