Contributed by Darrell Ferguson on Jul 4, 2024

This passage describes one of the virtues of Jesus that he explicitly drew attention to because of how important it is, and yet it’s one of the least desired virtues even among Christians. This message reveals the meaning of meekness, and how to become more meek.

God loves the world, and He does so contrary to His own benefit.

Fourth Sunday of Lent 2024 God does not give up on human beings. That’s true even when He doesn’t seem like that is what is going on.

Protective Praise

Contributed by Joe Dan Vendelin on May 25, 2024

Have you ever thought about how praising God in the highs and lows can provide a layer of protection against pride (in the highs) or despair (in the lows)? Here we take a look at Hezekiah as an example of why we need to praise God and forget not all His benefits described in Psalm 103:1-5.

Protective Praise Have you ever thought about praise being a protective agent? Psalm 103:1 (ESV) says, “Bless the LORD, O my soul, and all that is within me, bless his holy name!” When we bless the Lord in our highs and lows, he provides a layer of protection. From what? Getting too high or ...read more
