Life Is A Series Of Examinations

Sermon On Continual Growth And Progress

Contributed by William Meakin on Sep 30, 2022

Continual Growth is defined as a constant progression of something such as an industry, organization, or an idea, its development in size, and the resulting improvement or importance.

Benjamin Franklin, an American polymath, writer and statesman once remarked: “Without continual growth and progress, such words as improvement, achievement, and success have no meaning.” Romans 5:2-6 confirms: “Through him we have also obtained access by faith into this grace in which we stand, and ...read more

Jesus Is The One Who Casts Evil Out

Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Sep 29, 2022

Job is able to put the words “good,” “afflicted,” “learning” and “law” together in one sentence. And we could add the word "joy," too.

Saturday of the 26th week in course Psalm 119, the longest chapter in the OT, has the prayer of somebody in the midst of a crisis: “It is good for me that I was afflicted, that I might learn thy statutes.” It may very well be a prayer of Job, whose life and response we have been studying over the ...read more

New Wine Into New Wineskins

Contributed by Imelda Mesa on Sep 27, 2022

Jesus ditches the old ways of coming to God, in favor of the new. And He did not apologize for doing so, nor did he asked permission or approval from people who were stuck with the old ways.

In as much as we love to hold on to the year/decade, that was, it is not the wise. The old has gone, and the new has come! We embrace all that God has lined up to prepare His Bride for His imminent return. We must continue to evolve as an individual and as a Church family. Nonetheless, our biblical ...read more

Winning In The Kingdom Court Series

Contributed by Boomer Phillips on Sep 20, 2022

We should plead our cases before the Kingdom Court, knowing we have an Advocate (Jesus) to aid in our defense against the accusations of the prosecutor (Satan). Based on the "Dangerous Prayers" book by Francis Myles.

Tonight, we are going to view a fresh perspective on prayer from Dr. Franics Myles in his book on “dangerous prayers.”(1) Now, I have taken some time to wade through his book and weed out the muck.

Expectations – General And Specific – Great And Small Series

Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Sep 16, 2022

Pip the orphan boy relates his story that is based around what expectations wait for him, surprises, incorrect assumptions, tragedy and a lot more. Well as ...read more

Satan’s Limitations: Satan Is Not Omnipotent Series

Contributed by Jenny Franklin on Sep 12, 2022

Job 1-2 reveals Satan’s limitations. Satan is not God’s equal opposite. Unlike God, Satan isn’t omnipresent (everywhere), omnipotent (all-powerful) or omniscient (all-knowing). This session’s focus: Satan is not omnipotent; he can only do what God allows. So why does God allow suffering?

************* Satan Is Not OMNIPOTENT (All-Powerful) The Lord asked Satan, “Have you considered my servant Job; there is none like him in the earth. He is a perfect and upright man, who fears God and avoids evil?” Satan asked, “Haven't you made a hedge on every side about him and his house ...read more
