    Finding Jesus in the 7 Feasts of Israel

    Feast of Tabernacles Leviticus 23:23-33 April 10, 2022 As I was preparing for today’s message, I had this great AHA moment. It was one of those moments when you read the scripture and things simply fall into place and you get a grin when you see how God is working in the moment. Hopefully, ...read more

    Third Commandment (3 Of 12)

     | 2,187 views

    The Jews of old usually gave their children names that had meaning. Today we give our children names and have no idea what they mean, we go more by how they sound. Some do not even go by sound.

    Illus: In Connecticut four ministers were named Wright none of them were related. To avoid confusion: • One was referred to as: “Minister Upright". • Another was referred to as, “Minister Downright”. • And another was referred to as, “Minister Outright.” • And the fourth was referred to as, ...read more

    The Ultimate Wilderness Guide

     | 1,019 views

    Lack of belief is a sin because if you don't understand that reunion with God is the purpose of life, you will wind up lost. Literally.

    I was 8 years old when my family moved to Brazil. Everything changed: language, food, customs, weather. And one of the things that I at least did not expect was the absence of school buses. If Dad couldn’t take us we had to take public transportation: a taxi, a tram, a bus. We usually took a city ...read more

    based on 3 ratings
     | 9,302 views

    Because of her "ugliness" (weak eyes) Leah was unnoticed, unwanted & unloved… and unmarried. She was literally a rejected woman. How did God help her overcome her rejection?

    A lady was walking down the street on her way to work & saw a parrot in a pet store. She went in to admire the bird, and suddenly the parrot spoke to her, “Hey lady. You’re ugly.” Well, the woman was deeply offended, and she stormed out of the store. But on her way home, she thought she’d ...read more

     | 1,645 views

    So many people are gripped with all kinds of fears, one of the major ones being the fear of death. Learn what Jesus did to set us free from this daunting fear of death, to give us hope for eternity.

    We read in Hebrews 2:14-15, “Since then the children are sharers in flesh and blood, he also himself in like manner partook of the same; that through death he might bring to nought him that had the power of death, that is, the devil; and might deliver all them who through fear of death were all ...read more

    based on 1 rating
     | 3,431 views

    Do we want the favor of God on our lives? As we study the life of Gideon, and others from the bible we will understand what those pre-requisites are for God’s favor to rest on us, and all we do.

    We read in Judges 6:17-19, So Gideon said to Him, “If now I have found favor in your sight, then show me a sign that it is you who speak with me. Please do not depart from here, until I come back to you, and bring out my offering and lay it before you.” And He said, “I will remain until you ...read more

    Bringing Up Children

    Contributed by Roger Hasselquist on Jun 20, 2023

    Not every father models what our Heavenly Father does, so this scripture in Ephesians chapter six is appropriate to help us understand the role of a father in the home.

    Alba 6-18-2023 BRINGING UP CHILDREN Ephesians 6:1-4 Maybe you’ve heard the old story about fatherhood that says that when a child is 4 years old he says proudly, "My dad knows everything about everything." When he is 7 he says, "Dad knows almost everything about ...read more

    Scripture presents demons not as mythological creatures, but as real beings involved in historical and future events. Jesus encountered many of them during His earthly ministry, and in His encounters, He healed the persons whom the demon or demons had taken residence.

    Contributed by Andrew Dixon on Jun 29, 2023
    based on 2 ratings
     | 1,742 views

    Do we value the grace of God, and how can we continue in the amazing grace that God has lavished on us? Can bitterness hinder us from obtaining God’s grace? Read on to find the answers to these questions.

    In Hebrew 12:15, “See to it that no one fails to obtain the grace of God; that no "root of bitterness" springs up and causes trouble, and by it many become defiled;” (ESV) The Holy Spirit of God cautions us through the word of God, that if we allow the root of bitterness to get embedded ...read more

     | 1,968 views

    Why are some of our prayers not answered? What can we learn from the prayer of Jabez? May we learn to pray in a way that honors God so that we can receive answers to our fervent prayers.

    We read in 1 Chronicles 4:9-10, “Jabez was more honorable than his brothers, and his mother named him Jabez saying, "Because I bore him with pain. Now Jabez called on the God of Israel, saying, "Oh that You would bless me indeed and enlarge my border, and that Your hand might be with me, ...read more

    This is a hard week for many of us here. I think all of you must have read of the murder-suicide that took place in our town just a week ago. By itself, it is one of the most tragic incidents to occur among our midst in quite a long time - certainly since I arrived. Two young men in their prime, ...read more
