Did God Really Say
The first two chapters of the Bible tell how, “In the beginning God created the Heavens and the earth” (Genesis 1:1). God placed Adam in the Garden of Eden and created Eve as his companion and helper. Life in the garden was good, but it didn’t take long for the deception of the devil to […]
Highly Valued Mist
In the message “More Than Grasshoppers” we considered the spies who were sent into the promised land to evaluate the enemy. We saw that without a proper understanding of God and how we fit into His plan, the enemies in our life will always appear as undefeatable giants. This sense of walking among the giants […]
More Than Grasshoppers
After Moses led the Israelites out of Egyptian slavery, they were guided by God to the edge of Canaan – the land promised to Abraham. God instructed Moses to send twelve men to explore the land; “See what the land is like and whether the people who live there are strong or weak, few or […]
Into His Hands
A life lived by fully trusting God begins with a simple faith in the forgiveness offered through Jesus. But this simple faith will grow as we apply it to the varied and difficult circumstances which inevitably come our way. Not many of us begin with the faith of Peter; “Lord, if it’s You, tell me […]
Consider Him Who Endured
In the messages “Cords of Encouragement” and “Defeated Lions And Bears” we considered our role in the Body, or Family, of Christ. We saw that as we walk together down God’s path, we must assume a certain level of responsibility for one another. We must encourage our Brothers and Sisters when they are down and […]
Defeated Lions And Bears
In the message “Cords of Encouragement” we saw the importance – even the necessity – of encouraging one another. We have been joined together as the Body of Christ; and for this Body to function properly, we must all be encouraged to draw closer to God, to trust Him more and love Him with all […]
Cords of Encouragement
In the message “Reconcile With One Another” we saw how it’s part of God’s plan for us, through repentance and faith in Jesus, to be reconciled with our Heavenly Father, and then to mend and strengthen relationships with others. Not only do our relationships give us opportunities to express our love and gratitude to God, […]
Reconcile With One Another
Malachi served as a prophet to Israel about four hundred years before the birth of Jesus. He brought a message from God which reminded the people of His love, and rebuked them for their disrespectful worship. But through Malachi, God ended the Old Testament with a prophesy about future restoration. Malachi 4:5-6“I will send you […]
Filled With Awe
After Jesus had risen from the dead and “was taken up into Heaven” (Luke 24:51), those who believed in Him “joined together constantly in prayer” (Acts 1:14), “devoted themselves to the apostles’ teaching” (Acts 2:42), and “ate together with glad and sincere hearts” (Acts 2:46). The first believers did naturally what we try to implement […]
He is God
In the book of Job, we read of a man who came under severe attack by Satan. Within a short amount of time, Job went from a man of wealth, health, and large family, to a man who lost all his possessions, was near death, and childless. In the early stage of his trials, Job […]
Request A Prosperous Life
In the middle of a very long list of genealogies, recorded in the book of 1 Chronicles, there are a few short verses about a man named Jabez who was a descendant of Judah. We never read about him again, but it appears Jabez was included in this list because of his bold request…and God’s […]
Do What It Says
In the last two messages we’ve considered the importance of our love relationship with God; how Jesus desires our love much more than any of our works and how we must continue in prayer for our love to grow. ALL we do ought to be driven by love! When we study God’s Word, we do […]
