Magnificent Meekness

Contributed by Joe Dan Vendelin on May 18, 2024

Biblical meekness is having the power to act yet holding back until we are led to act by the Holy Spirit. This is magnificent meekness and it is different than potential. God grants us the power of His meekness today and fully equips us to do whatever He is calling us to do.

Jesus said, “Blessed are the meek, for they shall inherit the earth.” (Matthew 5:5 ESV) What does it mean to be meek in a biblical sense? Dr. Richard Tow describes it well in his book, “Beatitudes of Christ.” On page 65, he says, “Meekness is not weakness. Meekness is a manifestation of spiritual ...read more

The Most Important Invitation

Contributed by Michael Blitz on Oct 21, 2023

Jesus, in the Parable of the Wedding Feast, gives us what is for us the most important invitation we will ever receive, to come to the feast. The invitation is for Eternal Joy, yet many make excuses not to attend. Join us this week as we look at the most important invitation.

There are parables, like the Shrewd Manager, which are confusing without cultural background, and the Prodigal Son, which has many different applications. Today we have what I think is Jesus most complete and clear parable, and I hope to walk thru it and actually not surprise you at all. This ...read more

Ruth

Contributed by I. Grant Spong on Sep 29, 2022

Let's look at Ruth and Boaz, and how Boaz was a type of Christ the redeemer.

In examining Ruth it is essential to discuss one difficulty before we begin, the earlier prohibition against Moabites. “No Ammonite or Moabite or any of their descendants may enter the assembly of the Lord, not even in the tenth generation.” (Deuteronomy 23:3 NIV) Note that the prohibition does ...read more

Kings

Contributed by I. Grant Spong on Sep 22, 2023

As we look at the kings of Israel and Judah, we see the faults of human leadership. Even in the church, do we look to faulty human beings or to God?

What happens to nations when their leaders go astray? First and second Kings contain the history of a few good national leaders among many bad. Key ...read more
