Suffering Series

Contributed by Ed Taylor on Jan 29, 2009

Any suffering for Christ’s sake is a small price to pay for the gracious benefits received because of that suffering.

1. Because it hurts so much and is so tough, there is the thought throughout the church today that: • ‘WE SHOULDN’T HAVE TO SUFFER’. • We’re Christians. We live in the United States. • We’re should be immune to suffering. We’re blessed! IT’S TRUE: we do live in an incredible time in history. • We ...read more

Waiting For Christmas Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Apr 8, 2021

We need to remember, Christmas is a celebration, not of what might be or of what we hope to see happen, it is a celebration of a sure thing that has already happened. God has come down to man to dwell with him.

In 563 BC, a son was born to a ruler in India. The local astrologers predicted he would either be a great ruler or a world renowned ascetic. His father wanted to prevent that, so he sheltered his child from all contact with suffering of any kind. The little prince was to never see life's ...read more

Hope Of The Resurrection

Contributed by John Lowe on Jun 18, 2014

In this passage, Paul identified himself with the writer of Psalm 116. Paul, like the psalmist, had experienced the “terrors of the grave,” and God’s deliverance. “Death had its hands around [Paul’s] throat” (Ps. 116:3), and He knew that he could die.
