    Healing At Bethesda

    Modern life’s relentless pace and “idol of exhaustion” leave people physically drained and spiritually empty, setting the stage for Jesus’ Sabbath invitation to true rest.

    1. The Weariness We Carry A group of pastors once met in small circles to share their lives. One question asked, “What do you enjoy doing in your spare time—how do you relax?” Again and again the answer came back: “Spare time? I don’t have any.” We fool ourselves if we think this nonstop pace ...read more

    Sin can sometimes pounce upon you and destroy you in one fell swoop … or it can quietly, silently eat away at your heart and soul. Achan's story in Joshua 7 can show us what happens when we try to hide or bury our sin.

    We’ve all heard the question: “How do you boil a frog?” And the answer is: “One degree at a time.” Now … scientifically, it turns out that that’s not true. When the water gets hot enough, the frog will jump out of the water. How do you destroy a person’s soul? Answer: One sin at a ...read more

    The Book Of Lamentations – Part 32 – Infants Die Of Hunger; Rich And Opulent Now Devastated In The Street; Judah’s Sin Greater Than Sodom - Chapter 4:3-7 Series

    Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Aug 2, 2025
     | 153 views

    Devastating is Jeremiah’s description, for the suffering of infants is great. Judah sinned worse than Sodom. Once devastated, the rich became as poor. The world is in a lamentable situation, but refuses to look at the basic underlying cause - man’s sin against God. Repentance is needed!

    THE BOOK OF LAMENTATIONS – PART 32 – INFANTS DIE OF HUNGER; RICH AND OPULENT NOW DEVASTATED IN THE STREET; JUDAH’S SIN GREATER THAN SODOM - CHAPTER 4:3-7 These laments continue and there is some “what was” and “what is now” in this message.

     | 3,461 views

    One definition of revolution is: the action by a celestial body of going round in an orbit or elliptical course, as in “the revolution of the earth about the sun takes one year.” We need a closer revolution in our relationship with Jesus!

    In this story Jesus left the Jewish area of Galilee for the seaport of Tyre, a pagan Gentile area. This was a very un-Jewish and un-rabbinical thing to do, but He knew there was a desperate mother there. Notice the verbs describing her

    Developing Mega-Faith Scripture: Mark 7:24–30, especially verses 27–29. See also Matthew 15:21–28: But Jesus said to her, “Let the children be filled first, for it is not good to take the children’s bread and throw it to the little dogs.” And she answered and ...read more
