     | 9,149 views

    This is the 7th study in the study "Hope In The Darkness". This study looks at remaining faithful in our service to Christ no matter what happens.

    LIVING IN UNFAIRNESS 1 Peter 3:8-22 One of the hardest lessons to learn in life is that life is not always fair. It seems like the harder you try to live like a Christian the more difficulties you face. It also seems like those who could care less about God seem to prosper the most. ...read more

    This could be anyone of us, what would these people think if they knew what I have done. Face this Giant and watch him fall. We must remember that the church is a hospital for sinners not a rest home for saints.

    The Giant of Desperation. There is a desperate person who sits in the corner of the assembly today. Dry mouth, moist palms, scarcely moves for fear of detection. He feels out of place in a room full of saints, but where else will he go? He has violated every belief he every had, he has hurt ...read more

    Life has come to a stand still, your dreams have died, nothing has turned out as planned, and God seems a million miles away. You are stuck with no hope in sight. These are desperate days.

     | 15,357 views

    Psalm 34 is a gift from David to us. It gives us a rare and honest glimpse into the heart of a Godly man who was overwhelmed by fear and fatigue and for a moment panicked … just as we are being constantly being overwhelmed and worn down by what seems like a non-stop barrage of bad news lately.

    It seemed like just another day in the sleepy little town of Gath. Merchants selling their wares in the little local market. People standing in front of the shops, discussing the latest news and gossip. Small town folks just going about another typical day … when “they” appeared. Now … any ...read more
