    Contributed by Chris Swanson on Apr 6, 2024
     | 67 views

    Have we counted the cost of servanthood? What are we willing to give for the fortune that God has provided for us?

    Contributed by Chris Swanson on Mar 28, 2024
     | 128 views

    Imagine if you will a court room. God is the judge. Satan is the prosecuting attorney, and he is telling the court everything that we have done wrong. Jesus is the defense attorney.

    At the time when the Jewish remnant returned to Israel to rebuild the walls, Joshua was the High Priest (Haggai 1:1, 2:4). In verses one - four: Satan “resisted” (accused) Joshua, who depicts the country of Israel here. The allegations were exact, Joshua remained in “filthy garments” (sins). In ...read more

    What have we done with what God has given us? God has given us something important to take care of in the church, at our work environment, and at our home.

    This is Haggai's subsequent message, given during the Feast of Tabernacles, around the month of October, 520 B.C. The more seasoned individuals, the elders, could recollect the unbelievable magnificence of Solomon's Temple, which had been annihilated 66 years sooner. Many were ...read more

    Are We To Be Prepared To Face Doom Or Deliverance?

    Contributed by Chris Swanson on Feb 11, 2024
     | 167 views

    In this passage of Scripture, God is placing judgment on a sinful world. Assyria had been a powerful nation. They were proud of themselves at how they conquered the various lands and its people.

    The Patience and Power of God: Like Jonah, Nahum was a prophet to the capital of the Assyrian Empire, Nineveh, and he prophesied somewhere in the range of 663 and 654 B.C. Jonah had seen the city atone a century sooner, however it had fallen once more into devilishness. Assyria was controlling the ...read more

    Evil was rampant through the area. God called a man to preach repentance. But instead of doing as he was instructed, he ran. How many Christians today are like that?

    When an evil empire displayed its power before God and the world through various demonstrations of inhumane mercilessness, that is when Jonah heard God instruct him to proceed to call the people to repent for their sins. However, Jonah ran away from God. In verses one - three: God called Jonah to ...read more

    What Will Harboring Pride In Our Hearts Do To Us?

    Contributed by Chris Swanson on Jan 21, 2024
     | 223 views

    Pride is self-esteem, confidence, and satisfaction in self. Some people try to run their own lives without God, as if they do not need Him, because they put themselves first.

    Obadiah is the shortest book of the Bible. It is titled “The Vision of Obadiah” as it prophesies the judgment to fall on the nation of Edom. The Edomites were descendants of Esau which made them related to the children of Israel (Genesis 25:19-27:45). Because of Edom’s defiance of God, their ...read more
