The Lord Is With You

Contributed by Jeff Strite on Jul 12, 2015

In this passage, it almost seems like Peter is heavily focused on persecution of the Christians he's writing to... and then he just switches gears and talks about something totally unrelated. It seems that way, but it's not.

Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Jul 4, 2022

Psalm 88 is considered to be the gloomiest chapter in all the bible. There is not one glimmer of hope yet we can draw from it wonderful teaching. The psalmist was in a very dark state when this Psalm was penned. His pleading with God seemed to be unanswered. Resurrection is considered.

Contributed by Ken Henson on Apr 12, 2014

How do we respond to God’s Timing, when it does not match our own? How do we respond to God’s Love, both the Love He gives us, and the Love he desires to show through us to others? How do we obey God’s Command, even when it means our own suffering?

Obedience Plus Passion Equals…strike The Ground.

Contributed by Howard Strickland on Feb 6, 2022

We have a tendency to want Joy without sacrifice. We won't character without suffering. We won't success without failure. We won't gain without pain. We want a testimony without a test. We want it all, without going all in. However it does not work that way, and you know it.

In A World Gone Mad, Where Is God?

Contributed by Michael Stark on Feb 28, 2019

When we cry out "It's not fair," we are forgetting that God has fixed a day when He will judge the world in righteousness. Followers of the Christ must look to Him to make right the wrong that now permeates the world.

What Is Your Willoughby?

Contributed by Barry O Johnson on Jan 5, 2018

One of my favorite episodes of The Twilight Zone is "A Stop At Willoughby". It's about a man who is so unhappy with his life that he dreams of little town where life is easy. There are many Christians who are like the story's main character.

Is It Possible God Did Not Give Satan Permission To Attack Job? Series

Contributed by Barry O Johnson on May 15, 2018

A brief look at Job 1 and 2. It took me about 50 minutes to deliver this message.

This is a message about how we're taught unbelief, how we’re taught to question God’s goodness in all situations. One of the reasons the Lord is starting to show me some things about how we teach unbelief is because in those areas where there is wrong belief, there is no faith. In those areas where ...read more
