    Hell Has A Big Mouth

    Contributed by Brian Buriff on May 2, 2007
    based on 9 ratings
     | 9,203 views

    Hell has enlarged itself. Poor original planning or simply overwelming volume of sin? However the wider Hell opens its mouth, the more wider Victory opens its mouth. Eventually death, the grave and hell will be swallowed up in Victory.

    I. THIS IS AN INTRIGUING VERSE A. Other Versions: Isa 5:14 “Therefore the grave enlarges its appetite and opens its mouth without limit” -NIV Isa 5:14 “So the place of the dead wants more and more people, and it opens wide its mouth”. – New Century Version B. Sheol = she’owl ...read more

    based on 10 ratings
     | 9,137 views

    How long, Lord?

    A CALL TO PATIENCE. James 5:7-10. ‘Patience is a virtue,’ suggests the old adage. Yet when we pray for more patience what do we get? We get more affliction!

    An Everlasting Love

    based on 9 ratings
     | 12,945 views

    The LORD has appeared of old to me, saying, Yea, I have loved you with an everlasting love: therefore with loving-kindness have I drawn you (Jeremiah 31:3).

    AN EVERLASTING LOVE. Jeremiah 31:1-6. The book of Jeremiah is mostly, but not exclusively, a book about God’s judgment. The painful ‘rooting out, pulling down, destroying, and throwing down’ spoken of in Jeremiah’s commission was but a purging, to make room for later ‘building and planting’ ...read more

    based on 6 ratings
     | 7,595 views

    Maintaining an attitude of praise in the midst of affliction: Jesus' example.

    A PARADIGM OF PRAISE. Psalm 22:23-31. The details of the sufferings in Psalm 22:1-21 match more exactly the anguish of Jesus than anything that we can find in any of the written records of David’s life - and because of this the church has always read this Psalm of David as a Psalm of Jesus. In ...read more

    The pressure of the crowd must never be allowed to take precedence over a right relationship with God.

After the synagogue service in Capernaum, Jesus and His four companions went to the home of Simon and Andrew (Mark 1:29).

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Feb 1, 2014
    based on 5 ratings
     | 8,524 views

    We sometimes need to step aside from the busyness of life for more intimate communion with God. The will of Jesus is that all those given to Him by the Father should behold His glory.

    THE GLORY OF THE MESSIAH. Matthew 17:1-9. The One who referred to Himself as the ‘Son of man’ had just been acknowledged as the Son of God (Matthew 16:16). Jesus demonstrated the necessity of the Cross, and looked forward to His Second Coming. The Lord also promised a preview of the coming of ...read more

    When Zechariah has an opportunity to perform restitution to God for his lack of faith, he writes boldly on his tablet the words of the angel, “his name shall be John.”

    Homily for Two Days before Christmas December 23 Today our Evening Prayer antiphon recognizes Jesus as "Emmanuel, king and lawgiver, desire of the nations, Savior of all people," and begs Him to come set us free from our sins. So we return to the story we began a few days ago, in ...read more
