Inspiration: Seeing Life Through God’s Eyes Series

Contributed by Jack Perkins, D.min., Ladc, Csac, Cclc on Nov 25, 2020

The Star and Stars of Christmas is a series of messages for Advent. Using the idea of a play on a stage. Each message will look at different characters in the Christmas story. The introduction takes a critical look at how many in our society are portrayed as celebrities—bigger than life.

First, it was written with a God-given ability for all players in the script to always love the Lord, follow his precepts for godly living.

Contributed by Charles Cunningham on Jul 1, 2020

In our fallen world, temptation abounds in every arena of life, as if life's a game of chance without scruples for avoiding self-destruction. Christians, therefore, need to be like Caleb whose different Spirit kept him from falling.

Contributed by Allan Quak on Apr 16, 2021

Jesus the True Vine is the Only source of spiritual life. For us to know if we are a true disciple or a fake disciple we need recognise the difference between the Father bringing us through a difficult pruning process, or the Father cutting us off.

God Knows You Personally SermonCentral

Contributed by SermonCentral on Sep 10, 2023

We all have names and are known by them. However, sometimes, our true selves are not reflected in these names. God, on the other hand, sees us for who we truly are. He calls us by our names, not as the world does. Zacchaeus was such a person, known by a name but seen differently by God.

We all have names by which people know us. Our names are a way for others to identify and recognize us. However, there are times when people fail to see us for who we truly are.
