     | 7,134 views

    Looking toward Calvary Mark 8: 31-33 At this point in Jesus’ ministry His popularity has diminished greatly, particularly among the devout Jews. He is about to enter a season of intense difficulty, culminating with the cross. From this moment forward, Jesus will be intent on enabling the ...read more

    Contributed by Christopher Benfield on Feb 11, 2018
     | 9,799 views

    Being saved by grace through faith in the finished work of Christ creates an eternal bond with the Gospel. As we grow and mature in the Lord, the Gospel continually shapes our lives. The life of every believer should be directed by the Gospel.

    The Bond with the Gospel Philippians 1: 27-30 For the past few weeks we have been considering the impact of the Gospel in our lives and the challenge of allowing the Gospel to be central in our lives. Clearly the Gospel brings about an immediate transformation, from the inside-out. 2 Cor.5:17 – ...read more

    Knowing The God Who Knows You

    Contributed by Kerry Haynes on Sep 25, 2016
    based on 4 ratings
     | 21,750 views

    If God knows me so well, how could he possibly love me? Yet, scripture says he loves us completely, even though he knows our every thought, motive, and word before we do. Not only does he know and love us, he protects and guides us. We have a great God!

    Psalm 139:1-6, 13-18 Knowing the God Who Knows You Sometimes we doubt God’s love for us. Sure he loves the whole world, but does he love me? If God is a perfect God (and he is), and if I’m not perfect (and I’m not), how is it that an all-perfect God would even want to know me? ...read more

    based on 4 ratings
     | 7,874 views

    The whole creation--including us--is designed to worship the one true God. If we don't cry out, the stones will worship God. We need to become 24/7 worshipers, constantly aware of God's presence and guidance.

    It is important for all of us to know exactly where our gifts come from and who has given them to us.

    Just a few short weeks ago, my girlfriend and I were out and about. We were on the bike and just enjoying the Florida sunshine.

    Being a priest is an AWESOME PRIVILEGE and AWESOME RESPONSIBILITY. Leviticus 8-10 is the ordination of Aaron and the death of Nabab and Abihu. In the NT, we are all priests!

    Me? A Priest? Selections from Leviticus 8-10 My wife’s grandmother was a woman who always spoke her mind. When my then-fiancee told her grandmother that she was going to marry a minister, the crusty old woman said, “Marry a priest? I wouldn’t do that! You can do that if you want, but I would never ...read more
