Psalm 90 – A Passion For The Present Moment

Contributed by Joey Nelson on May 4, 2006

There will come a time for you when God drops a sign in your life that causes you to seriously question your life-path, your priorities and be forced to deal with your dreams and aspirations. It is a defining moment when you see life screaming by, you que

INTRODUCTION Opening Statement: I’m reminded of the sign that was posted on the land of an Indiana farmer who had a problem with people taking a short-cut by cutting across his land.

A Letter To Me

Contributed by James White on Mar 31, 2011

HOW you were born the 1st time makes no difference… OH but WHAT a difference being Born Again makes. It doesn’t change your past, but it releases you from it. It will change your present and make you brand spanking NEW.

Brad Paisley wrote and sings a song which I am borrowing the title from today. “Letter to me” speaks of a desire to send a message to his own past self. It’s a note of encouragement…words to the wise and hope for the future. From the moment of our birth, we begin a lifelong ...read more

The Last Snows Of Spring

Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Nov 13, 2013

The imperative to praise the LORD: the command to commend.

Our job is to reflect His light.

ARISE, SHINE, YOUR LIGHT IS COME. Isaiah 60:1-6. Zion was enveloped in a thick spiritual darkness on account of her sins (Isaiah 59:9-12).

Universal Prayer

Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Aug 29, 2013

We are called to universal prayer because God desires that "all men" be saved. This is the purpose behind the doctrine of election. There is only one God, one Mediator, one sacrifice. The church's mission is to make a universal declaration of this truth.

UNIVERSAL PRAYER. 1 Timothy 2:1-7. CONTEXT. The faithful saying that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners is worthy of all acceptation - or ‘worthy to be accepted by ALL’ - (1 Timothy 1:15). “Therefore” - as a priority - Paul exhorts Timothy that “supplications, prayers, ...read more

A Year And A Day.

Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Nov 5, 2021

The acceptable year of the LORD and the day of vengeance.

A YEAR AND A DAY. (1) The Acceptable Year of the Lord (Luke 4:16-21). This is thought to be earliest record which we have of a synagogue service. Perhaps Isaiah 61:1-2 was the reading of the day, but Jesus deliberately chose where to end the reading. Luke 4:18-19 stops short of ‘the ...read more
