  • Who in our society offends us the most? It’s the robbers, the killers, the rapists—the flagrant law breakers. Now think about Jesus. Who offended Him the most? It was the Pharisees, the religious leaders of the day—the legalistic law keepers. They upset Him the most. But, why the Pharisees?

  • God can help you uncover the source of your anger whether injustice, hurt, fear or frustration. He is ready and able to heal your heart and help you control your anger before it controls you!

  • “Kids are much like kites—struggling to become airborne, yet needing the stability of the string. A kite is not designed to be possessively protected inside the home. Though separation is painful, God designed your role as a parent to prepare ‘your kite’ for flight. ..." - June Hunt
  • No one can guarantee a life without rejection. In fact, the Bible promises that you will come face-to-face with it. But God also promises eternal and unconditional acceptance.

About Jesus Christ

Christian Dating & Relationships

  • Manipulation isn’t wrong only because it’s dishonest and selfish. Manipulation happens when humans take control of their own circumstances in order to have their needs met.
  • How many couples choose their mates too quickly and then live their lives full of regret? God’s Word exhorts us to be wise about our expectations for marriage and wise about whom we let into our hearts. Premarital counseling involves teaching a couple open and honest communication in preparation for marriage.
  • What does it mean to be single?

Discipleship & Evangelism

Easter Week

  • Since everyone really wants to be fulfilled in life, why are so many people living unfulfilled? Many begin their search for fulfillment by discovering their roots—their heritage. And that is exactly what every Jewish person should do. . . . If you are Jewish, that should be your beginning point.

Family & Parenting

  • Have you ever felt as if you’ve been in a game of tug-of-war with a teenager? You’ve established the boundary line and said with firmness, “I’m serious. This is not a game!” Nevertheless, this once-compliant kid now angles away from you-with heels dug in deep. The tough-guy attitude communicates, “No way you’ll get me to your side.”

     

  • An unplanned or unwanted pregnancy is a crisis for some and a “mere inconvenience” for others. But regardless of the circumstance, the joy of pregnancy and the pride of parenthood are painfully missing.
  • “Kids are much like kites—struggling to become airborne, yet needing the stability of the string. A kite is not designed to be possessively protected inside the home. Though separation is painful, God designed your role as a parent to prepare ‘your kite’ for flight. ..." - June Hunt

Fear & Peace

  • What role does fear have in your life? Immobilizer or energizer ... foe or friend? What you do in the face of fear identifies its role in your life.
  • Empty. Angry. Alone. If you've endured a loss, you know these feelings. You know how grief rips through your heart, making you feel like life will never be the same. Truthfully, it won't be. But that doesn't mean hope is lost.
  • Childhood sexual abuse brainwashes its victims into believing that they are unlovable … or they will no longer be loved if “people find out.” What they perceive to be conditional love buries their secret all the more.
  • Millions of people suffer from depression, including Christians. The best help is from the One who knows your pain, cares deeply for you, and is able to heal. His help is always free and always available.
  • Emotional abuse is the unseen fallout of all other forms of abuse: physical, mental, verbal, sexual, and even spiritual abuse. Abuse can be perpetrated without a word − whether with degrading looks, obscene gestures or threatening behaviors. These actions inflict immense pain and impede emotional growth. You don't have to allow an abuser to make you feel worthless.
  • No one can guarantee a life without rejection. In fact, the Bible promises that you will come face-to-face with it. But God also promises eternal and unconditional acceptance.
  • Who in our society offends us the most? It’s the robbers, the killers, the rapists—the flagrant law breakers. Now think about Jesus. Who offended Him the most? It was the Pharisees, the religious leaders of the day—the legalistic law keepers. They upset Him the most. But, why the Pharisees?

Marriage & Divorce

  • How many couples choose their mates too quickly and then live their lives full of regret? God’s Word exhorts us to be wise about our expectations for marriage and wise about whom we let into our hearts. Premarital counseling involves teaching a couple open and honest communication in preparation for marriage.

Prayer & Spiritual Life

  • Like me, perhaps your life has been shaken by news that someone you love has cancer. Of course, this kind of diagnosis is alarming, especially if that “someone” is you—or, in my case, me. Having personally experienced cancer and also having had several people dear to my heart that have been down this precarious road, I know this for certain: A cancer diagnosis never loses its appalling punch.

  • When you forgive, you give someone a gift − you waive a penalty − and you give yourself the gift of grudge-free living. When you withhold forgiveness, you not only refuse to offer what God has given to you, but you also hurt yourself.
  • Emotional abuse is the unseen fallout of all other forms of abuse: physical, mental, verbal, sexual, and even spiritual abuse. Abuse can be perpetrated without a word − whether with degrading looks, obscene gestures or threatening behaviors. These actions inflict immense pain and impede emotional growth. You don't have to allow an abuser to make you feel worthless.

  • Life is full of highs and lows. The highs of successes are easy to handle, but the lows of failures seem to stick around forever. It’s important to remember that God’s ways are not necessarily our ways. Unless you learn to see failure from God’s point of view, you may become discouraged and defeated.

  • Manipulation isn’t wrong only because it’s dishonest and selfish. Manipulation happens when humans take control of their own circumstances in order to have their needs met.
  • Everyone is confronted with countless decisions throughout life. Many decisions are of little significance, but some may change your life forever.
  • "Late again! . . . How did this happen? . . . Why didn’t I start earlier? . . . What is the matter with me? The deadline has come and gone, but here I am again . . . feeling guilty, frustrated, and defeated. How can I get myself out of this pressure cooker and enjoy completing a task—and, yes, even complete it on time!"
  • True guilt is your friend, a godly companion who whispers truth and motivates you to repent and be free. But false guilt is a relentless foe. It is the enemy within that encourages not godly, but superficial sorrow that brings death!

  • Since everyone really wants to be fulfilled in life, why are so many people living unfulfilled? Many begin their search for fulfillment by discovering their roots—their heritage. And that is exactly what every Jewish person should do. . . . If you are Jewish, that should be your beginning point.

  • Have you looked at your life and thought, In my heart, I know something’s missing! Could what’s missing be the Holy Spirit?

  • The Bible tells us about the ongoing conflict that is taking place between two spiritual kingdoms . . . the kingdom of God and the kingdom of satan, with his unseen army of demonic influences. Although God reigns sovereign over heaven and earth, He allows satan limited power over this age.
  • No one can guarantee a life without rejection. In fact, the Bible promises that you will come face-to-face with it. But God also promises eternal and unconditional acceptance.

  • God can help you uncover the source of your anger whether injustice, hurt, fear or frustration. He is ready and able to heal your heart and help you control your anger before it controls you!

Sin

  • Those who walk through the door of adultery assume, 'I won’t get caught,' or 'It’s no big deal.' They have no clue that they will reap severe repercussions. This attitude was certainly played out in the life of the most famous king of Israel.
  • Perhaps you have felt an attraction to a person of the same sex, an attraction that led you to question your sexual identity. If so, you are not alone - this attraction is common for many young people during puberty.
  • When the fans saw Mickey Mantle—a power hitter with the speed of a sprinter—they were in awe. Yet did the average fan see the symptoms of the alcoholism? Most did not, but his family did.
  • Just as the ancient world was fascinated with numerology, astrology, and witchcraft, our contemporary world is enticed by a smorgasbord of horoscopes, fortune-tellers, spirit guides, séances, and witch clubs. Tragically, deluded followers seeking the secrets of supernatural power and knowledge are still being seduced today.
  • An unplanned or unwanted pregnancy is a crisis for some and a “mere inconvenience” for others. But regardless of the circumstance, the joy of pregnancy and the pride of parenthood are painfully missing.
  • Who in our society offends us the most? It’s the robbers, the killers, the rapists—the flagrant law breakers. Now think about Jesus. Who offended Him the most? It was the Pharisees, the religious leaders of the day—the legalistic law keepers. They upset Him the most. But, why the Pharisees?

Study The Bible

  • The Bible tells us about the ongoing conflict that is taking place between two spiritual kingdoms . . . the kingdom of God and the kingdom of satan, with his unseen army of demonic influences. Although God reigns sovereign over heaven and earth, He allows satan limited power over this age.
