    based on 28 ratings
     | 16,538 views

    God appears obscure and enigmatic to us all at times, but as we persevere in our relationship with God we realize that God perseveres toward us also.

    “Don’t Give Up on God” / Luke 18:1-8 Proper 24, Year C; Downsville Baptist Church; 21 October 2001 If Jesus is trying to teach us about the importance of persevering in our prayer lives, we wish he would have done it in a less confusing and puzzling manner. Perhaps his parable should have gone ...read more

    Many wrongly conclude that church is for women and children. They conclude that it’s not manly to be religious. That idea is as false as anything can be. But that doesn’t keep many from believing it. I want to set the record straight by highlighting t

    So I have fallen and I can’t get up? We need a PLUMMET, a plumb line to find out how important it is to GET UP AND TRY AGAIN!

    Growing Up In All Aspects In To Christ

    based on 31 ratings
     | 4,948 views

    Without the macroscopic and microscopic vision of how we are to grow up in all aspects in to Christ, we will fall short of God’s plan for our lives.

    The Problem of Becoming Mature in Many Aspects Ephesians 4:15 Cultural, personal, or circumstantial obstacles are bound to stand in the way of anyone who wants to become mature in Christ. Yet, without maturity we cannot become all that God wants us to be. Neither can we know all that the ...read more

    Praying to God as His sons and daughters is an honor. We should beat down the doors to heaven and seek God's will.

    Do you wonder what some of Jesus’ parables mean? Do you ever feel like Jesus’ message is obscure and obtuse? “The knowledge of the secrets of the kingdom of God have been given to you, but to them, I speak in parables” (Lk. 8:10). Well, there is not room for misunderstanding ...read more

    Why does Satan lie & deceive & tempt & manipulate? And the answer is, "Because he doesn't have the power to force us to sin." If he could force you to sin there would be no need for temptation or manipulation."

    In Colossians 3, after describing the kinds of "clothing" that needed to be put off, Paul then described the "clothing" to put on. There are eight items in all, but in many respects they are descriptions of the final characteristic, love.

    A. Have you ever noticed how important clothing is in life? 1. Sometimes the clothing we wear reveals the occupation we have. a. Medical persons wear certain clothing and so do those in the military and law enforcement. b. Other job related clothing is seen in construction, firefighting, and ...read more

    In the midst of a serious storm, Jonah was blissfully asleep unaware of the predicament of his fellow passengers caused by his disobedience. Is it possible that the church too is asleep at a time when we have to wake up to fulfill the Great Commission that Jesus gave us?

    We read in Jonah 1:5, “And the mariners were afraid, and cried every one unto his god; and they cast forth the wares that were in the ship into the sea, to be lightened of them. But Jonah had gone down into the lower part of the ship; and he lay, and was fast asleep.” (Darby) This is the ...read more
