    The times, like those of post-Exilic Jerusalem, require us to wait. Will it be passive, impassive, or active waiting? Active waiting means seeing that what God has done He will do again. God will enlist us and shape us to work for His purposes.

    “We wait. We are bored. No, don’t protest, we are bored to death, there’s no denying it. … A diversion comes along and what do we do? We let it go to waste . . . .In an instant all will vanish and we’ll be alone once more, in the midst of nothingness!” So speaks one of the characters in Samuel ...read more

    As we go through life’s hardships and difficulties and we are to be turning to Jesus but you might wonder, can Jesus really relate to what I’m going through? Let’s see what Jesus knows about the various things we go through in our lives.

    JESUS KNOWS INTRODUCTION: Back in the late 80’s and early 90’s there was a baseball/football player named Bo Jackson. In 1989/1990 he had a series of commercials where the slogan was Bo knows.

    When Israel decided to turn back to God wholeheartedl, there was great spiritual revival in that country and God delivered them from their enemy.

    The Bible says in verse 2 that all the people of Israel decided to turn back to the Lord. Wow. That is a very good news. When all the people of the entire nation turned back to God is something newsworthy. Why? What happened before that? Why is this turning to the Lord very significant for ...read more

    Book sermon from Mark. Jesus' mission on earth was one of careful planning and execution and a life given over to Him ought to reflect the same care and effort.

    I saw a picture of little twins the other day. They both were wearing red T-shirts. One said, “I was planned!” The other one said, “I was a surprise!” I wondered – how could they tell which one was the surprise? I have news for you – whether you were planned ...read more

    Undeserved Trials –why?

    Contributed by John Bartol on Jun 1, 2013
     | 7,346 views

    Job was bewildered by suffering that seemed undeserved. Here we see a good man suffering, not as punishment for past sins but as proof that he would not waver in the faith. Job was on the Devils hit list, and that was a compliment to his faith. Satan tri

    UNDESERVED TRIALS-WHY? Why do good people sometimes suffer greatly and evil people seem to prosper? Does it pay to be good? Does it pay to serve the Lord? We sometimes say about a very fine person who is having a hard time “ He doesn't deserve this! Or, she doesn't deserve this!” ...read more

    Worship is how to open closed doors.

    I have a door at my house, it’s the door to a closet in our bonus room. It’s where my kids' toys are all kept and so when I instruct them to clean up the bonus room, the toys just get tossed into the closet and then they shut the door real quick and hope for the best.

    I believe that God who showered His blessings & protection on Israel of old has done the same for us. And as he looked for a harvest of righteousness & justice from them, so is He also looking for such a harvest from us.

    Doing Something Extra With The Ordinary

    Faith is a reductionism of the greatest kind. For in Jesus, the "extraordinary" is nothing more than the "ordinary" things in life PUT TOGETHER to achieve an "extraordinary" feat.
