The Undeserving Rescue Series

Contributed by Christian Cheong on May 15, 2018

Misplaced Trust Series

Contributed by Allan Quak on Feb 26, 2021

Micah preaches at a time when there is spiritual lethargy. Micah’s nakedness is an indication of the lengths God will go to where He ensures that He gets our attention so that, ultimately, we fix our eyes on Jesus rather than having misplaced trust.

Message Micah 1:3-9 Why Are You Naked? Misplaced Trust The Old Testament prophets preached in some strange ways. Jeremiah had to buy a loin cloth, then wear it for ages, then hide it in a rock crevice for ages. That is what he preached about in Jeremiah 13. Ezekiel had to lay on his side for ...read more

Contributed by John Gaston on Feb 13, 2014

A Borderline Believer is one who lives either on the border of believing or below it. The tale-tell sign of a borderline believer is that they never get very far into Christianity; they always linger near the border. Ahab was one; Are You?

Contributed by John Gaston on Aug 6, 2017

2 Chron. 16:9 gives a critical requirement for God's willingness to intervene: our full heart-commitment. King Asa is God's example for having it -- and NOT having it. The outcomes are striking and should make us sit up and take notice.
