    Conversations With God

    Contributed by Charles Mallory on Oct 19, 2001
    based on 46 ratings
     | 3,542 views

    As Christians, we are to strive after a persistent, ceaseless prayer-life that is built on two-way conversation.

    IT HAS BEEN SAID THAT PRAYER DOES NOT NEED PROOF OUTSIDE ITSELF BECAUSE ITS PROOFS ARE WITHIN. IT IS IN THE NATURE AND FUNCTION OF MAN, LIKE BREATHING, EATING AND DRINKING, AND HE PRACTICES IT AS PART OF HIS VERY BEING. PRAYER IN THE LIFE OF A CHRISTIAN IS ESSENTIAL YET SO FEW MAKE IT SO.

     | 5,054 views

    Friend, it’s one thing to count, think thousand times and give a few rupee notes from the plenty that you have or drop all that you have into the offering box and trust Him for the future.

    Giving to God! Lord, I wish I had more to give you……. “After he was weaned, she took the boy with her, young as he was, along with a three-year-old bull, an ephah of flour and a skin of wine, and brought him to the house of the LORD at Shiloh. “(1 Samuel 1:24) Choked with ...read more

    Solomon built his temple. The worship at the temple by the people of God almost immediately needed to be reformed. Amos and other prophets called the people back to God. The reformation continued with Martin Luther and continues in the church today,

    1 Kings 5:1-5; 8:1-13 “God’s Presence” INTRODUCTION “Reformed and Always Reforming” is a phrase that catches the spirit of our Reformation commemoration. We remember that five hundred years ago the Church had strayed away from the gospel of Jesus Christ. It had become deformed and, as a ...read more

    No Other Gods Series

    Contributed by Michael Sawyer on Nov 10, 2013
     | 6,432 views

    This is the first in a series that I preached on the Ten Commandments. The focus of the series was on the relationship between God and us and the relevance that the Commandments still have for us from that standpoint.

    No Other Gods Exodus 20:3 "You shall have no other gods before me. The children of Israel are at Sinai. They have come to freedom by the hand of God in the plagues of Egypt, the parting of the Red Sea, and the destruction of the armies of Pharaoh. These things were done by God. Not by them. ...read more

    Serving God

    Contributed by Grant Adams on Feb 19, 2024
     | 2,327 views

    Howard Ingram had an old saying, “Many Christians have just enough religion to make them miserable.” Serving God should be one of the greatest things in the world.

    Many Christians have a wrong idea, view, and attitude toward serving God. There are those today that do not love God’s service. It should be the greatest thrill and joy of our lives. John 15:16; tells us that we are chosen by God. Many, when talking or preaching about service, want to tune you ...read more

    God is not fair in the way he deals with us. For that we can be thankful. Instead of being fair, he shows us mercy and grace.

    “The Unfairness of God” Psalm 103:8-10 June 20, 2004 When was the last time you felt like you were treated unfairly? When did you last think, “That’s not fair”? It doesn’t matter what it was about, it could have been anything. You just simply felt that whatever it was that happened, it wasn’t ...read more

    Enjoy Life In God’s Family!

    based on 1 rating
     | 742 views

    God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit have saved us and now welcome us into the family of God. That’s a powerful point for us to take with us this Trinity Sunday. We are sanctified by the Spirit. We are children of the Father. We are siblings with the Son.

    “Let us make mankind in our image, in our likeness.” That’s how the creation account in Genesis 1 describes God’s decision to create human beings. And then on the sixth day of creation week that is exactly what he did. Of course, Genesis 2 gives us more detail about the “process” that God went ...read more

    Viewing God’s Sovereign Work

    Contributed by Efren V. Narido on Sep 27, 2024
     | 683 views

    How should we view when God exercises His Sovereign Power? Or, when we consider His Sovereign Work, what should enter our mind?

    “Many of the Jews therefore, who had come with Mary and had seen what he did, believed in him, but some of them went to the Pharisees and told them what Jesus had done. So the chief priests and the Pharisees gathered the Council and said, ’What are we to do? For this ...read more

    Dancing With The Lord

     | 3,591 views

    By God's grace I want to present the incident that happened between Jonah and God as a dance of two friends.

    Often, when we examine the story of Jonah's initial refusal to follow God's instruction to go and peach to the people of Nineveh, we see a disobedient and selfish servant of God. Yes, this is a fact but, be it as it may, I would like to suggest that we look deeper into the story and view it ...read more

    God is a God of mercy

    GOD OF MERCY I once saw a sign outside a convent that read ‘Trespassers will be prosecuted to the full extent of the law.’ Underneath it was signed Sisters of Mercy. There seemed to be an anomaly there to me. Prosecution to the full extent of the law and mercy? Did you ever get caught doing ...read more
