The God Who Never Sleeps Nor Slumbers

The God we serve is always awake, always watching, and always working on behalf of His people. This truth should give us confidence in His protection, provision, and faithfulness. As we trust in Him, we can rest in the assurance that He never slumbers nor sleeps.

The Enemy Knows Your Schedule

Contributed by Jeremiah Menyongai on Sep 24, 2016

Christians have often been caught asleep when they should be awake. While on earth, Jesus stressed the importance of readiness, alertness, preparedness: “Work while it is day for the night comes when no man can work.” The enemy is watching you. Get busy.

THE ENEMY KNOWS YOUR SCHEDULE MATTHEW 13:24 Jesus told them another parable: “The kingdom of heaven is like a man who sowed good seed in his field. 25 But while everyone was sleeping, his enemy came and sowed weeds among the wheat, and went away.26 When the wheat sprouted and formed heads, ...read more

Open My Eyes, Lord

Contributed by Melvin Newland on Jun 24, 2024

Watching & praying are often associated in the Bible. Jesus, on the night he was betrayed, asked his Disciples to watch & pray with him as he prayed in the Garden at Gethsemane. I think Jesus was asking them more than simply to stay awake & pray.

What Do You Have In Your Hand? Series

Contributed by Colin Mcgeer on Apr 20, 2023

How many of us lie awake at night worrying about some problem or other. Sometimes, we forget what we have or how God has helped us in the past. Many times the answer is right in our own hands. It is all about hearing God, believing and taking action.

There have been evenings that I have not been able to sleep or have woken up and just lay in bed thinking and worrying about all kinds of things. I do not know about you but when it is dark and you are lying in your bed not sleeping and thinking about your issues it seems like they are ...read more

Encourage One Another!

Contributed by Hans Krause on Nov 17, 2018

We don't know when Jesus will come again, or whether we will die before that and go to meet our Savior. We do know that we should be wide awake and ready 24/7 for that encounter. And to that end, we are called to encourage one another rather than to incite fear and panic.

Do you believe that Jesus will one day come back from where he has gone? Do you believe that there is actually going to be a point of time in our history, or better: in our future, when God will intervene in the flow of history in a way that will have a cosmic impact? Let’s have a show of hands: ...read more

When Hope Seems Gone Series

Contributed by Dale Pilgrim on Mar 28, 2010

Despair makes hope seem an empty dream as we snap awake to reality and we begin to believe the lie, “there's no way out.”...Our lesson today is one of “how” and “what”. “How” can I move from a spirit of despair to a life of hope?

DARE TO BELIEVE – “When Hope Seems Gone” Jonah 2:1-10 This picture (person sitting against a wall, very dark room, small light in the window) is, to me, a powerful image of despair. It creates a sense of aloneness where an overwhelming gloom settles into your spirit and there's ...read more

Beginning Of Pains (Deceivers & Disasters) - Mark 13:5-8 Series

Contributed by Darrell Ferguson on Apr 10, 2024

In times like ours, how does one keep from lying awake at night with anxiety over what we see in the news every day? In today’s passage, Jesus provides direct insight into how to read the news headlines in a way that brings peace, calm, and courage, rather than anxiety, fear, and cowardice.

Mark 13:5 Jesus said to them: "Watch out that no one deceives you. 6 Many will come in my name, claiming, 'I am he,' and will deceive many. 7 When you hear of wars and rumors of wars, do not be alarmed. Such things must happen, but the end is still to come. 8 Na-tion will rise against ...read more
