Seek And You Will Find…great Expectations

Contributed by Craig Condon on Jun 25, 2015

Jesus is the new covenant that God promised to his people in Jeremiah 31:31-34. In Jesus, God united us to him with bonds that can never be broken, and through this new covenant, we and Jesus can look death in the eye and see victory.

Today’s Gospel passage marks the beginning of a change in Jesus’ ministry. The coming of the Greeks is seen as anticipating the coming of the Gentiles into the community of believers.

POEM: If you love something, set it free. If it comes back to you, it is yours, if it doesn't, it never was. (Pause) But, if it just sits in your living room, messes up your stuff, eats your food, takes your money, and doesn't appear to realize that you've set it free... you either married it or ...read more

Breaking The Power Of Pride

Contributed by Brian Williams on Apr 6, 2023

Believers may not often realize it, we are either centered on man or centered on God. There is no alternative. Either God is the center and we have become rightly adjusted to him, or we are the center and everything revolves around us. How is power of pride broken?

The Tension Between Spirit And Sin: The Struggle Of Every Christian

Contributed by Justin Steckbauer on Apr 2, 2021

I didn't come to Jesus for Jesus. I came to Jesus, I flew to Jesus, cried out to Jesus, because I believed he could save me. My motives weren't perfect or pure or righteous. I came because I was desperate, broken, and lost.

The Mystery Of Goshen

Contributed by James Dina on Feb 2, 2022

The Land of Goshen had so many mysteries that only God could unravel. "The more they afflicted the Israelites, the more they multiplied." Whenever God blessed Israel, he cursed Egypt. We need God’s wisdom to guide us during persecution, especially where Christianity practice is forbidden.

THE MYSTERY OF GOSHEN Then Pharaoh spoke to Joseph, saying, "Your father and your brothers have come to you. The land of Egypt is before you. Let your father and brothers dwell in the best of the land; let them dwell in the land of Goshen. And if you know any competent men among them, then ...read more

Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Feb 16, 2024

Paul continues the great contrast of Law and faith and how justification is achieved. Those who claim to keep the Law must keep every tiniest part lest they break the whole Law. Remember the Law was given to Jews NOT to Gentiles who were never under the Law.

THE BOOK OF GALATIANS – CHAPTER 3:10-12 - MESSAGE 7 – THE LAW WILL NOT JUSTIFY BUT FAITH WILL These messages in Galatians continue as we see the opposing sides of Law, and faith alone without the Law.

Fasting And Faith That Matters To God

Contributed by Rev. Matthew Parker on May 31, 2004
