    We’ve all heard the quote falsely attributed to St. Francis of Assisi, "Preach the gospel at all times. use words if necessary;" words are necessary and this message encourages believers to speak boldly.

    God is not a God to be trifled with. God is not a God to take for granted. Even if our observation of the world leaves us perplexed and confused, God has revealed himself to us in his word. He’s revealed his plan for the world to us. He’s told us what he’

    You could be forgiven for wondering, as you read through this book, what the writers view on God is. At times he seems like a secular humanist. A little bit jaded by his experience of life; quite cynical about life on earth; almost pessimistic at times about our chances of succeeding in life with ...read more

    Many read the bible for different reasons but why was the bible written? There is a purpose for reading the bible and we should let it accomplish its purpose in our lives.

    When we read the Bible we need to understand what God is trying to tell us.

    A Messiah of the Word Text: Matt. 12:1-14 Introduction 1. Illustration: A wife woke up one morning and said, “Honey, I just had a dream that you bought me a new gold necklace. What do you think it means?”“I don’t know, but Valentine’s Day is coming soon. Tuesday, ...read more

    based on 8 ratings
     | 8,082 views

    Jesus tongue is a sword. His words are God’s words and they have power to heal or destroy. How do we handle hearing harsh words from heaven’s holy herald?

    Read or quote Mark 7. Does God’s word ever say something that bothers you? I dare say, if you have never had that experience, you must not be reading your Bible much! The word of God comforts the afflicted and afflicts the comfortable, does it not? God told Jeremiah, (23:29) "Is not My word ...read more

    Funeral message for Mrs. Athelstein Coleman, whose hobby was working crossword puzzles: a play on "crossword" to say that the "word of the cross" means wisdom and strength.

    It's not only what people do that interests me; it's also why they do it. When I see someone doing something over and over again, I want to know what that behavior means. If there is a pattern in someone's behavior, what does that pattern mean? Often you find that people do what they do, even ...read more

    With that superlative peace and such like promises, why should our hearts be troubled?

    WORDS OF COMFORT. “Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, believe also in me” (John 14:1). These are precious words of comfort from the lips of our Lord Jesus Christ. The Cross was imminent, and no doubt a sense of foreboding had dampened the Passover celebrations of the little ...read more

    We might not feel comfortable sharing our faith, but let's make sure that we don't sabotage those who do.

    If there is one word that strikes fear in the hearts of most church goers it is “evangelism”. Most of us understand the necessity of people meeting Jesus. All but the most callous are heartbroken at the thoughts of friends and loved ones spending an eternity far from God. And yet. . ...read more

    Part 2 of 8 in a series covering words in the Bible that are all too often overlooked or ignored.

    INTRODUCTION: So what is the “saddest” word in the Bible? We mentioned it last week, so I guess we could call this a “test.” If we were to ask, again the answers would be as diverse as the people answering the question. Some would say death, fear, hate, or even lost… ...read more

    There are three things that James teaches us in this passage: He wants us to know that God is good, to take out the garbage, and not just hear the Word: do the Word.
