    The Failed Father Series

    Contributed by Jeff Strite on Jun 17, 2023
    based on 2 ratings
     | 6,043 views

    When it comes to fatherhood, bad examples from Scripture can be good examples, once you know what a failed father has done wrong. Eli was a bad example. But what did he do wrong, and what can we learn from him so we can build better fathers?

    Someone once said that everyone is an example to others - some are GOOD examples, and some are BAD. And, believe it or not, bad examples can be good examples for us. For example, Eli was a “GOOD EXAMPLE” of a bad example of how to be a father. But before we get to Eli’s story (and what we can ...read more

    God's grace is available to all, but many receive this grace and pervert it. They turn the grace of God to a licence to commit immorality and do wickedness in our society. The consequences for those who despise, frustrate and pervert God's grave are severe.

    TEXT: Jude 1:4 (NIV). "For certain individuals whose condemnation was written about long ago have secretly slipped in among you. They are ungodly people, who pervert the grace of our God into a license for immorality and deny Jesus Christ our only Sovereign and Lord." CHOSEN BY ...read more

    Bad Choices In The Tabernacle

     | 2,245 views

    We hear much today about self-proclaimed preachers who seem to care little about the Lord and His Holy Word but seem to care a great deal about their wealth and popularity. Phinehas and Hophni were not so concerned about popularity but they certainly cared about their creature comforts!

    Bad Choices In The Tabernacle Please stand with me as we go over our current memory Scripture: Matthew 5:10-12 “Blessed are those who are persecuted because of righteousness, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. Blessed are you when people insult you, persecute you and falsely say all kinds of ...read more

     | 3,084 views

    We are created in the image of God, and when we choose to reflect His image through our lives we may be hated or even persecuted. Let’s see how God’s justice and righteousness will always prevail over every evil plot of the enemy.

    We read in Genesis 1:26, And God said, “Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth.” (KJV) Why was man ...read more

    Failure to honour God not only distances us from His presence but also attracts divine judgement and removes the covering of favour.
