    Boaz is the restorer of life, granting Naomi restoration and fullness. Thus does Jesus give life and hope to His own.

    RUTH AND THE RESTORER OF LIFE. Ruth 4. It is beautiful to see the way that the LORD restored the broken line of the clan of Ephrathah. Naomi, whose name means Lovely, renames herself Mara, Bitterness. However, her new name never caught on: she is always called Naomi, and in the end must lift ...read more

    What lies ahead.

    THE MYSTERY OF THE RESURRECTION. 1 Corinthians 15:51-58. 1 CORINTHIANS 15:51.

     | 227 views

    Beloved, we live in a world filled with uncertainties—economic shaking, spiritual battles, emotional storms, and unpredictable challenges. But David, a man who faced lions, bears, Goliath, and Saul’s spear, gives us a powerful revelation:

    “THE GOD WHO HIDES, LIFTS, AND ESTABLISHES YOU” Anchor Scripture: Psalm 27:5 (KJV) “For in the time of trouble he shall hide me in his pavilion: in the secret of his tabernacle shall he hide me; he shall set me up upon a rock.” --- INTRODUCTION Beloved, we live in a world filled with ...read more
