    Sermon # 18 - Safe In The Shadow Of The Almighty God Series

    Contributed by Andrew Dixon on May 7, 2025
    based on 1 rating
     | 593 views

    When fear grips our heart and in those times when we feel all alone, deserted and feel that there is no one to help us or stand by us, let’s remember that God sees and He is by our side. The life of Hagar gives us a glimpse of God’s presence in the midst of life’s hardest moments.

    We read in Genesis 21:17, “God heard the boy crying, and from heaven the angel of God spoke to Hagar, "What are you troubled about, Hagar? Don't be afraid. God has heard the boy crying.”(GNB) Hagar and her son wandered through the wilderness, and when the little water she carried got ...read more

    Jesus urges his listeners to the Sermon on the Mount to make The Choice for Life in entering the Kingdom of God, in terms of Two Gates, Two Ways, Two Destinations and Two Crowds.

    Jesus was a wonderful teacher. He had the knack of making His teaching on the Kingdom of God interesting and easily understood by the use of graphic pictures. There’s a good example of this in two verses in our reading from Matthew’s account of the Sermon on the Mount: "Enter through the narrow ...read more

    Samuel Beckett’s play, entitled Waiting for Godot, is a satire on the human condition. As Beckett sees it, humanity is waiting for Godot, or God, to come and save them, but he never shows up. Their waiting is in vain, for although they have been repeatedly told that God is coming, he never has, ...read more
