    This is rule number one. If we do this, all others will fall into place.

    This week and next week we will summarize what God’s word teaches us about growing closer to God and closer to one another through our recent study in Genesis 1-22. But to start us off, let’s go first to the New Testament look at the first part of Hebrews chapter 11 where we see all ...read more

    We are looking at Psalm 16 the golden Psalm. Peter preached about Psalm 16 in his Pentecost sermon and Paul preached on Psalm 16 on his first missionary journey. It was the calm assurance that was instilled into the birth and growth of the church.

    There is a lot of trouble around us. There may also be trouble and conflict with in us. It is everywhere. This world has always been a place of turmoil since the fall. Adam and Eve where the perfect couple in the garden. They disobeyed God, sin entered, and things went amiss. Things went from bad ...read more

    Stretching you past your limits to cope, God can use a crisis to bring us close and draw a crowd along with us to him.

    Paul’s trip to Rome beginning in Acts 27 is the story of a stormy trip and shipwreck. Few things are as awesome to experience as a big storm. This past year, Florida saw four hurricanes plow through and wreak a path of destruction. We can begin to think we are large and in charge when God allows ...read more

    Who or what is your battle and look closely inside yourself do the wars and little battles start with you? And can the battle end with you?

    Where do the wars come from? James 4:1-5 Introduction In an old monastery near Bebenhausen, Germany, you may see two pairs of deer horns interlocked.

    17th in long series on Joshua. This gets into prayer, and giving our burdens to God. Close tie-in with 1 Peter 5:7.

    Joshua 10:1-15 – Giving It Over I found a little poem by an anonymous author that sounds so familiar, it’s as if I could have written it. It says: “Lord, I’m so discouraged, I don’t know what to do; I have so many burdens, And I gave them all to you. But you didn’t take them, Jesus, will you ...read more

    I believe that Abraham’s life closes well; and demonstrates for us a bit of the art of dying well which for a Christian demands living well.

    "Ars Moriendi" is Latin for "the art of dying" or "the art of dying well". Specifically it refers to a common visual art practice common in the 16th century. Pictures would be carved into wood and then inked and press printed hundreds of times into books. Few of the books contained many words - ...read more

    It is in the narrow places of life, the places where we are closed in and helpless that we may experience the healing presence of God, often at the bitter or beter end.

    Knowing God's will is an important learning for every child of God. Walking in flesh, self and pride is of the flesh but walking closely behind Him is the way of God.

    1 Samuel 23:2”Therefore David inquired of the LORD, saying, "Shall I go and attack these Philistines?" And the LORD said to David, "Go and attack the Philistines, and save Keilah." David made multiple trips to his prayer chamber and got ‘confirmations’ from God before he launched ...read more
