Fire Fall Down

Contributed by Richard Stevens on Jun 9, 2021

New Beginnings

Contributed by Terry Hovey on May 16, 2025

They lived in fear, but rather than starting immediately on rebuilding the wall for protection, they instead built an altar and began to worship. They worship despite their fear of the surrounding people! They worship because they are afraid!

New Beginnings Ezra 3 You know, I used to be into refinishing old furniture, but not so much anymore. It takes time, a lot of work, and space and the proper tools to do the job well.

Jacob Wrestles With God Series

Contributed by Brad Beaman on Jun 8, 2022

Peniel was a place where Jacob reached brokenness. He lost all self-sufficiency and depended completely on God. This was a time for Jacob of genuine soul searching and spiritual struggle. It was also a significant time of knowing God’s grace.

A profession of faith in Christ is not an end in itself. It is the beginning of a pilgrimage. Along the way there will be defining moments and spiritual highlights. For Jacob his defining moment was at Peniel. The meaning of Peniel is the face of God. Peniel was a place where Jacob reached ...read more

God Can See What Man Is Doing

Contributed by Travis L. Billings on Aug 5, 2019

God shows Ezekiel the abominations that are taking place. These abominations are still taking place today in the church. Even though man may not know it, or think God does not see what is taking place, God knows and can see everything that is taking place.

Ezekiel 8 Remember, it was Ezekiel’s unenviable task to remind the people of their sins and their transgressions against the Holy and Mighty God. During a time where the people believed they were doing ‘just fine,’ Ezekiel had to call out their sins in a way that would almost seem like a burden ...read more

"God Is Hungry”

Contributed by Bubot Parago on Sep 21, 2018

To satisfy His cravings is finding the Source of our longings! Oooohhhh... the feeling is mutual. Just like St.Augustine’s favourite quote: "Our Hearts are Restless Until They Rest in You"

God to be hungry? Do you think God has hunger pains? At first glance this question has an obvious answer; No! God is not confined to a human body, He is Spirit. He has no need for food. God is self-existent and does not need any outside source to assist Him in sustaining life. However, though He is ...read more
