When Revival Comes Series

Contributed by Matthew Kratz on Jan 15, 2021

Don't Waste Your Sorrows Series

Contributed by David Dykes on Oct 30, 2014

One reason God allows suffering is so we will depend on him. Suffering shows us the value of God’s grace. Sometimes we think grace was just something way back yonder when we got saved. But we forget that God’s grace is active right now, present tense.

Redemption #17 Series

Contributed by Clyde White on Mar 18, 2005

The Word of God must be an active part of our total living, NOT just our Sunday go-to-meeting life. Heb 4:12 tells us what the “living” Word of God will do. 2Pet 1:1-4 tells how we can have this “living” work of the Word of God in our “everyday” lives.

To have a clear understanding of God’s redemption for mankind, we must have a reasonable understanding of many other subjects presented in the Word of God. In past lessons, we’ve listed 20+ subjects that are interrelated to redemption, and that list is only a starting point. We will not take time ...read more

If Your Presence Does Not Go With Us, Do Not Bring Us Up From Here

Contributed by Jose R. Hernandez on Apr 9, 2011

We haven’t fully experienced God’s presence in our life because we haven’t been actively seeking it. In other words, we only seek God’s presence when we find ourselves in tight spots, or when we want something. Why do we act this way?

A great truth about life is that at times things that happen can hold us back. In other words, sometimes we experience situations, or we have to go through circumstances that weaken and/or discourage us. Sometimes we have to go through situations that rob our peace, and attempt to make us lose ...read more
