Created To Do His Will
In the message “We Are The Created” we were reminded that God is the Creator and we are the clay being molded by the loving hands of the Potter; “We are all the work of Your hand” (Isaiah 64:8). Our Father is shaping us into the likeness of His Son; but what is our purpose […]
We Are The Created
We spend a great deal of our time and energy attempting to create various areas of our life. We strive to create the ideal work environment in order to provide the necessary resources to create the ideal social and home life. We plan the details of our free time in hopes of creating the ideal […]
Too Much of Us
Gideon lived during a time when Israel was ruled by judges. This was the period after the death of Joshua and before Saul was anointed king – a period lasting approximately 325 years. During this time, the people continually wandered away from God and were oppressed by various groups. But God always rose up a […]
Evidence of God
There are many people who remain just outside the gate of eternal life. They have heard the gospel message but are still not convinced of its absolute truth. They may concede that religion is “good,” but they need much more evidence before being willing or able to commit their life. Many of us in the […]
He is Our Joy
When Jesus came to earth, He took on human form and accepted many human limitations. He knew His purpose long before He was crucified: “He then began to teach them that the Son of Man must suffer many things and be rejected by the elders, chief priests and teachers of the law, and that He […]
This is The Way, Walk in It
God’s desire is that we walk down the path He lays before us. This path begins with the gift of eternal life through faith in Jesus; “For My Father’s will is that everyone who looks to the Son and believes in Him shall have eternal life” (John 6:40). The path continues with living a life […]
Step off the Shore
When Moses died, God assigned Joshua to the position of leadership. The people of Israel needed to know God approved of Joshua and would continue to direct them as they entered the land of Canaan. God was aware of this need and chose to work through Joshua as the people prepared to cross the Jordan […]
The Final Victory
Today, all over the world, there are people facing situations which threaten to send everything they hold dear crashing to the ground. It may be the result of bad decisions or circumstances out of their control; but either way, they awoke in the middle of a whirlwind and cannot determine which direction to turn. There […]
Attitude of Encouragement
EVERYONE needs encouragement. No matter how secure and confident someone may appear, everyone needs to be reassured, built up, and comforted. And we are all called to minister to one another, every day, with encouragement; “But encourage one another daily, as long as it is called Today” (Hebrews 3:13). Therefore, we are all called to […]
Entrusted With His Secret
We have been given an incredible gift. Jesus Christ came into this world two thousand years ago to be the perfect sacrifice for our sin, and to bring us back into a relationship with our Heavenly Father. Jesus knew God’s plan of grace before the world was ever created; “This grace was given us in […]
Tested By Praise
The longer and closer we walk with God, the more we realize how He uses every opportunity to shape and mold us – to chip, file, and sand the rough edges – as we are gradually “conformed to the likeness of His Son” (Romans 8:29). This is His desire for everyone who trusts in Jesus […]
Sow To Please The Spirit
In the spring, a farmer prepares the soil, plants the seed, and waits several days for the first signs of life. Many weeks pass before a few inches of growth occur and several months go by before it’s time to harvest. Much hard work and patience go into reaping a bountiful crop. The soil of […]
