    Character revelation on our battlefields

    Joshua Chamberlain was a young scholar, a professor of rhetoric at elite Bowdoin College in the middle of the eighteen hundreds.

    based on 14 ratings
     | 4,268 views

    What’s in a glass of wine? What’s in a tiny glass of wine? Forgiveness, rightness, closeness, conscience-cleansing, redemption, cleansing- that’s what. It’s not so little, is it? The amount of beverage might be little, but it carries big meaning!

Now that’s a potentially controversial symbol today, in some circles, but was a very ordinary matter of meals in Jesus’ day, and still is in many cultures. Just ...read more

    God reassures us so we can share His reassurance with others.

    God is a very reassuring God, and His Word, the Bible, is a very reassuring book! God gives us so many reassurances in the Bible that we couldn’t possibly cover them all in one worship setting - so we’re going to look at just one today. We are reassured that GOD FINISHES WHAT HE ...read more

    The father in this parable certainly deserved better than what he received from both his sons. I think we can all agree that our heavenly Father deserves better than what He receives from His children today.

    A FATHER WHO DESERVED BETTER 11 Then He said: "A certain man had two sons. 12 "And the younger of them said to his father, ’Father, give me the portion of goods that falls to me.’ So he divided to them his livelihood. 13 "And not many days after, the younger son gathered all together, journeyed ...read more
