Today, we look at Herod who was seeking Jesus but for the wrong reason. As we know, Herod was seeking Jesus to kill him. He demonstrates for us ...read more

    Jesus really lays it out: You are going to be a person who invests your treasure for yourself, or you will be rich in God by laying up treasure in heaven. But it is objectively impossible for both.

    Dr. Bradford Reaves CrossWay Christian Fellowship Hagerstown, MD www.mycrossway.org We come now to our second parable in our study of the parables of Jesus.

    based on 37 ratings
     | 12,172 views

    Lot’s choices in life turned him into a spiritual loser. His losses wound up being far greater than he could have ever imagined.

    LOT, THE LOSER Text: II Pet.2: 7, 8 Intro: As I gave the title of this message, you may have thought it a little unkind. However, the point of that title was not unkindness, but to simply encapsulate the overall outcome of Lot’s life. In a very real sense, Lot lost everything of any ...read more

    Can you remember back when you gave your heat to Jesus? Exciting time wasn’t it! But, have you given any thought to the events that led up to that moment? Didn’t think so. Everyone upon careful examination could discover the wonderful events that led up

    Introduction I. illus. I remember the wonderful answer I got from a close friend when I asked her, "How did you get saved.." and her answer was, "Like everyone else..."

     | 64,218 views

    It’s good to know that it does not matter how many times we get knocked down, just as long as we get up again? And the good thing about this is the fact that when we do get back up, we may not have our full balance and composure, but just the mere effort

    “KNOCKED DOWN, BUT NOT KNOCKED OUT!!” II CORINTHIANS 4:8-9 8. We may be troubled on every side, yet not distressed; we are perplexed, but not in despair; 9.

    based on 13 ratings
     | 5,898 views

    When there is no sun or stars in your life, like those sailors in that verse in Acts 27, we finally give up all hope…When there is neither Jesus or His hopes (love,joy,etc.), we finally give up all hope…and lapse into depression,get moody,or get sick.

    Title: The Hope of Israel Scripture: Acts 28 Life itself seems to tell us things that we can reasonably expect. Doesn’t it? Things that I, as a U.S. citizen, can reasonably expect may be somewhat different than those say of a North Korean citizen, or an Australian, or someone from a number of ...read more

    Recently I was thinking about some of the different lessons the Lord has taught me and how he brought me up step by step. This section of Scripture in 1 John 2, kept coming up in my spirit. Over and over I would hear these words. What an awesome God we s

    based on 2 ratings
     | 1,623 views

    What is the secret to a life of overflowing abundance? There’s much we can learn from the life of David and Abraham. God can bless abundantly if only we can follow certain principles, and let go of thoughts and attitudes that displease God.

    We read in 2 Corinthians 9:8, “Besides, God is able to make every blessing of yours overflow for you, so that in every situation you will always have all you need for any good work.” (ISV) This is Paul’s words to the church at Corinth and he wished them that they would be full and overflowing with ...read more

    The devil will never try to stop you by force so you fight back strongly in the name of Jesus. He will use cunning and deceptive means to try to outwit you but our Jesus is greater.

    Be Bold And Courageous

    based on 1 rating
     | 828 views

    As we go through the challenges of life our strength and courage to face them comes from God. On our part we are called to be strong and courageous to carry out the responsibilities God has entrusted to us, to live in obedience to God’s word knowing that God will never leave us or forsake us.

    Today’s meditation is taken from Joshua 1:6-9, Be strong and courageous, for you shall cause this people to inherit the land that I swore to their fathers to give them. Only be strong and very courageous, being careful to do according to all the law that Moses my servant commanded you. Do not turn ...read more
