    Contributed by Chris Swanson on Oct 18, 2022
     | 2,236 views

    Jesus rebuked the wind. He didn’t have to speak more than once for this occasion. But how many times does God have to tell us something before we listen?

    Psalms 46:10, Be still, and know that I am God: I will be exalted among the heathen, I will be exalted in the earth. Sometimes we tend to rely on ourselves before trusting in the Lord. We see here that the men panicked, they were scared and afraid of the storm. (I’ve been on the sea during a ...read more

     | 856 views

    How are we to be what we are meant to be? A preacher, a teacher, a deacon, a church secretary, a witness, one of the board of trustees, the list goes on. It does not matter the size of the local church body that we may be affiliated with.

    It boils down to: How we are to live, How we are to work, and How we are to die. A faithful fruit tree will bring forth faithful followers. How do we live? By being a faithful Servant.

    The Affliction Of Naomi Series

    Contributed by Chris Swanson on Oct 18, 2022
    based on 1 rating
     | 1,987 views

These were dull days for Israel, when "every man did that which was right in his own eyes" (Judges 17:6, 21:25). Regardless, during those dim and fiendish occasions, there were still some who followed ...read more
