The Thieves is a look at the greatest story ever told, but told with a twist, focusing on the men who were hung on either side of Jesus.
Three bandits find themselves in over their heads when a robbery turns into the murder of an important Roman citizen. Suddenly, everything spins out of control as one faces losing his family, another faces losing his freedom, and all three face losing their lives at the hands of the Romans. It's a story of love and hate, revenge and redemption, hopelessness and hope.
Please feel free to bookmark our Publisher’s Page so you can check back from time to time. We will be adding more of our Community Comics titles as well as some very exiting titles from other Christian creators.
My daughter is very interested in becoming an actress. Only 12, Brittany still has a ton of passion for the things she wants to do. So we signed her up to participate in the local theater. When the man at the door said adults were desperately needed, I said I'd be willing to help. I figured I'd get a mailman spot or some one-line spot. Really, I was only doing it because of Brittany.
Brittany got one of the lead roles, that of the daughter of the family. As it turns out, I got the "dad" role.
The play is "Best Christmas Pageant Ever." I'd never heard of it. Honestly. No, I really mean it. Brittany had read the book, so she knew more about it than I did.
Well, tonight was opening night and let me tell you what a hoot it was. Brittany did fantastic, but I will admit that I had a lot of fun. To make it even better, Brett, my 7 year old son got a role...and my 66 year old mother got a role as one of the gossipy church ladies.
It was nice to see a community organization not affiliated with any church put on a play with such a nice message.
If I thought anyone reading this was close to Kennett, MO, I'd invite you to come see it! :)

Happy December Overcomers!!!! I was reading Jeremiah 8:18-22 and 9:1-3 and learned something...
The prophet Jeremiah spoke of weeping for his countrymen day and night because of God's judgement, which had already fallen upon them, and which still awaited them. Though they had rejected and persecuted the prophets and was not listening to Jeremiah, he was brokenhearted for them. His response was an expression of God's redeeming love in his own life.
My pastor told me of a man who had been the superintendent of a city rescue mission for 40 years was asked why he had spent his life working with dirty, unkempt, profane, drunken derelicts. He said, "All I'm doing is giving back to others a little of the love God has shown me." As a young man, he himself had been a drunkard who went into a mission for a bowl of chili. There he heard the preacher say that Christ could save sinners, and he stumbled forward to accept the Lord Jesus as his Savior. Though his brain was addled with drink, he felt a weight lifted from his shoulders, and that day he became a changed person. A little later, seeking God's will for his life, he felt the Lord calling him back to the gutter and reach the people still wallowing there. The power of redeeming love enabled him to carry on his depressing task for 40 years.
Christian friend, if you are only nice to nice people, if you love only those who are lovely, and if you treat the hateful the way they treat you, God's redeeming love is not flowing out from your life. If you can, I encourage you to reflect upon His goodness and grace. Then ask God to make His love a moving power in your life.
Remember: Love in return for love is natural; love in return for hate is supernatural.
This has been an Overcomer's moment.......Love you guys!!

Hello Overcomers, I hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving this year.
I just read Hebrews 12:5-15.......
The skilled surgeon was about to perform a very delicate operation on the ear of his patient when he spoke these reassuring words: "I may hurt you, but I will not injure you."
So too, the Heavenly Father in dealing with us may inflict pain, but we can be confident that whatever He does is for our good. In the course of our discipline, He may find it necessary to use the chastening rod, though it will always be administered in love. His pitying heart will never engage in "child abuse." Tenderly He will give the correction we need. The Scriptures says, "Now no chastening for the present seemeth to be joyous, but grievous; nevertheless, afterward it yieldeth the peaceable fruit of righteousness unto them who are execised by it" (Heb.12:11). You see, God has a wonderful plan for the life of every believer, and He designs many different methods of fulfilling it. Seeing only part of that divine blueprint, we ask, "Why this distasteful experience, this jolting financial reversal, this bodily weakness, this trying circumstance?" It's as if we squirm under the specialist's scalpel and cry out, "Stop, stop, you're hurting me!" We fail to realize that the pain is part of the process of removing the diseased area and is necessary if healing is to take place.
Be assured, child of God, that the chastening you are experiecing comes with the Father's care. All His purposes are for your good. He may "hurt" you, but He'll never "injure" you.
Just remember: God's chastening is not cruel but corrective.
This has been an Overcomer's moment. Love you guys........HK
Greetings and blessings to all!
My name is Wayne Collins, and I have come to love THE LORD! Thru his miracles and his never ending mercy I am discovering all that he has put into me, and where he wants me to go; I believe it was his divine intervention that lead me to CCAS. That said, I wanted to let everyone know about this GREAT PRODUCT that has been produced by an artist in England. His name is SIKU. Some of you may be familiar with his work. He is an ART DIRECTOR for Nickelodeon, UK, and has been the primary artist for the UK's most popular weekly comic book, 2000 AD. What you may not have known is that SIKU is a CHRISTIAN, and well respected THEOLOGIAN. He has recently reproduced the bible(niv) in MANGA FORM! He calls it the MANGA BIBLE and it comes in several versions( full bible version old and new testament, or separate testaments). Go to www.mangabible.co.uk for his site. Also, I've received much love from the members of this site. I appreciate that. I look forward to making new friends and sharing artwork, as I continue my journey. Special shout out to Reggie Byars, a brother whom I've known thru my subconscious spirit, and whom I've been fortunate enough to have been reunited with his aquaintance thru CHRIST! (anyone remember Jam Quakky??)
Until next time,
GOD BLESS
Wayne
Why does when I view my page, a Christian fellowship group, is it supported by "Find sexy women" and "PIMP your profile" type advertisements? Come on, isn't that ironic?
Jesus Christ went into cities such as Jerusalem and taught there. When night came he always retreated to the outskirts of town to sleep as to not be associated with the evils of the cities...the temptations and appearences of evil.
Hello Overcomers,
I just read Psalm 5............
If WE unlock the gates of the day with Bible reading and prayer, our path is sure to be filled with usefulness and blessing. Joseph Parker said, "The morning is the time for meeting the Lord, for then we are at our best, having a new supply of energy. Blessed is the day that is opened with prayer! Holy is the dawn that finds us on 'top of the mount' with God!"
Under the Old Testament law, the Levites were required to arise and "stand every morning to thank and praise the Lord, and likewise at evening" (1 Chr. 23:30). According to the New Testament, all believers are priests (1 Pet. 2:5, 9), and the Lord expects them to commune with Him daily. And those who begin the day with God are most likely to sense His presence in all that they do.
I heard a little 4-year-old who said to his parents one morning, "I won't get up until I see Jesus." At first they didn't know what he meant, but then the little fellow pointed to a picture on the wall. It was a painting of Christ. He wouldn't get out of bed until the light was enough to see the face of Jesus. They learned an important spiritual lesson from their son's innocent remark. It taught them never to begin their day's work until they had first "seen Jesus" in a time of meditation and prayer.
Let's be sure to follow the practice of the psalmist who directed his prayer to God early in the morning and looked to Him for strength. We too should determine never to begin the day until we've first seen Jesus.
This has been an Overcomer's moment. Talk to you soon..........................HK
