    Forbearance is that character of God which causes Him to withhold punishment when it is justly due; to restrain His wrath, when it can be righteously poured on His enemies. Forbearance is the consequence of God’s abundant goodness. Longsuffering is forbea

    This is the ninth message in my series on David. The house of the Lord always adds much to us when we come to worship. Sometimes our motives are not the best but God still works out the rough places of our character by His grace.

    DAVID—A MAN AFTER GOD’S OWN HEART 09—BREAD AND SWORDS TEXT: 1 Samuel 21:1-6, 8-9 1 Samuel 21:1-6 KJV Then came David to Nob to Ahimelech the priest: and Ahimelech was afraid at the meeting of David, and said unto him, Why art thou alone, and no man with thee? [2] And David ...read more

    The 12 Apostles: James Son Of Zebedee

    Contributed by John Gaston on Mar 5, 2015
     | 10,149 views

    James had character flaws like being brash, bragging who'd be the greatest, wanting to call down fire on people and asking to sit on a throne next to Jesus. But he became an Apostle of love and became the first apostle to be martyred.

    Each decision we make in life is not a discrete unit. It is connected in a long chain of decisions that leads in a trajectory either towards the character of the Lord or away from it. This part of Psalm 119 helps us set the right course in life.

    105 – 112 Verse 105 is one of the coolest verses in the Bible. It really speaks to the working of God’s Word in our lives. A “lamp to my feet” suggests providing guidance in the near-term, the everyday sorts of decisions in life: how do I answer, how should I react, what ...read more

    A call to worship begins with a return to understanding that we worship a holy God. The realization of God’s character and holiness reveals our true self. His majesty is life-changing and gives meaning to our life, despite our shame.

    6 In the year that King Uzziah died I saw the Lord sitting upon a throne, high and lifted up; and the train of his robe filled the temple. 2 Above him stood the seraphim.

    The God Who Cannot Lie

     | 683 views

    In a world where people break promises and fail to keep their word, we serve a God who is completely trustworthy. The Bible makes it clear that God cannot lie. His words are true, His promises are sure, and His character is unchanging.

    THE GOD WHO CANNOT LIE By Rev. Samuel Arimoro Main Text: Numbers 23:19 "God is not a man, that he should lie; neither the son of man, that he should repent: hath he said, and shall he not do it? or hath he spoken, and shall he not make it good?"

    God has brought a charge against His people, and the charge is the same that He brings to us today. Their religion and their worship had become nothing but emptiness and meaningless rituals. All of it had become unrelated to their character and unrelated to their daily life.

    They were deeply religious. They were very faithful in performing the acts of worship, but they were empty and meaningless. They had no affect whatsoever on the character of those who worship and on their daily walk and activities. As we go through this life serving God, we need to be careful not ...read more
