    Foolish Words, Fierce Anger, And Wise Actions (1 Samuel 25:2-44)

    Contributed by Donald Whitchard on Sep 16, 2024
     | 764 views

    David showed mercy to Saul, exercising grace and wisdom. However, the foolish words of a man named Nabal drove David to excessive anger. The intervention of Nabal's wife, Abigail, brought calm and reason to a situation that could have ended in tragedy.

    The Bible describes David as "a man after God's own heart". His character and actions reflected a genuine desire to obey and love the LORD. As a result, he was chosen by God to be the next king of Israel, replacing the dynasty of Saul, whose rebellious and defiant actions resulted ...read more

    Inspiration is taken from Mark Batterson's incredible book "Circle Maker". This part stood out to me from one of the chapters. It's about facing up to your Jericho and overcoming it! Thanks Mark!

    WHAT IS YOUR JERICHO? Hebrews 11:6 “By FAITH the walls of Jericho fell down after they were encircled for seven days.” INTRODUCTION: The passage I read from Hebrews 11 speaks of one of the greatest success’ in the History of Israel. We all like “SUCCESS!” I know I ...read more

    The Pharisees Confront Jesus: What Does It Mean To Be A Hypocrite? An Issue Of The Heart Series

    Contributed by Justin Steckbauer on Jul 10, 2023
     | 1,638 views

    The Pharisees today are often regarded as hypocrites, mean, nasty, people who killed Jesus, and it’s true that they plotted against Jesus. But in general these were not bad people. These were religious leaders trying to help the people live according to God’s ways.

    A lot of the scriptures that we look at, I feel like we get to understand another piece of the puzzle about who Jesus really is. It’s like we dive into a moment in history and we get to look over the shoulder of Jesus and see what he does, and why he does it, and we’re amazed. We want to live like ...read more

     | 7,322 views

    How is church relevant? Take Jesus to church. Confront Evil. Claim the Power of Jesus to transform. The authority and power of Jesus amazed everyone in the synagogue of Capernaum, and it makes church relevant today.

    GOING TO CHURCH WITH JESUS—Mark 1:21-28 We live in a time of declining church attendance. One reason is busyness; Sunday mornings are consumed with youth sports, catching up on the laundry or the lawn, or just chilling out after a busy week. Another reason might be that going to church is not as ...read more

    While there are basic competancies that promote an emotionally healthy spirituality, there are also competancies that help us move outside of ourselves. Without getting outside of ourselves we will stunt our growth emotionally and spiritually.
