    The Point Of Prophecy Series

    Contributed by Billy Ricks on Aug 26, 2015
    based on 4 ratings
     | 9,714 views

    The point of prophecy is to point us toward God. The point of Daniel's prophecy isn't necessarily profound but it is very practical. No matter what happens go you way until the end. It is a call to be faithful in the face of all circumstances in Christ

    Intro: When we began this study on Daniel you were encouraged that because God is in control you can live righteously or Godly in this wicked world. You should also remember that the prophecies were written not to satisfy your curiosity but to strengthen your faith. God is in control and ...read more

    The early church in conflict with the elders of the city.

    And They Laid Hands on Them Acts 4:4 It was just a short time after the church was birthed that the apostles began to understand what Jesus had said concerning the Kingdom of Heaven. He had told His disciples, “If the world hates you, ye know that it hated me before it hated you.” In ...read more

    “the Significance Of The Resurrection”

    Contributed by Dave Mcfadden on Apr 21, 2014
     | 6,147 views

    The life, and crucifixion of Christ are historical facts as is the empty tomb. Christianity is rooted in historical events.

    What is the most significant event in world history? No doubt, you can receive as many answers to that question as there are people. But for the Christian, the answer is simple. The most significant event in the history of mankind is the resurrection of Jesus Christ. “Some religions, both ...read more

    We cannot afford to be indifferent about God...there are consequences in this life and in the life-to-come.

    When I served with the Army’s Air Defense Artillery--both as an instructor at their Branch School, and as a Brigade Chaplain--I used to joke about my role in Air Defense by offering to arrange for fire from Heaven! So you might say this is a fire-and-brimstone sermon! King Ahaziah assumed ...read more

    Do you sing with Mary? Do you have that joy this Christmas—are you overwhelmed by the promise of his return, or simply lost in the holiday?

    On Sunday June 1, 1975, Darrel Dore was on an oil rig in the Gulf of Mexico. Suddenly it wobbled, tipped to one side, and crashed into the sea, trapping Darrell inside a room on the rig. As the rig sank into the sea the lights went out and the room began to fill with water. Thrashing about in the ...read more

    The same holds true today, as it did in Ezekiel's day. While no leader is totally responsible for what other people do, they have a major responsibility to lead others in the right way be treating them right and pointing them towards Jesus.

    Ezekiel 34:18-19 Heavenly Father. I pray for your mercies on the spiritual leaders of our day who have gone astray. There are many who have purposely led others astray, and many have unknowingly led others astray by their misguided direction. I pray for conviction for those whom you have called ...read more

    If you personally know Jesus Christ, you have eternal life now and bodily resurrection promised in the future.

    I Am the Resurrection and the Life (John 11:1-45, esp. 11:25-27) We have all been shocked by the shooting at an elementary school in Texas. We cannot imagine how anyone could be so evil. At the same time, never has the promise of eternal life and resurrection been so dear to those who lost ...read more

    They Cry Out Upon Moses And Aaron. Series

    Contributed by John Lowe on Jun 5, 2022
     | 1,225 views

    The Egyptian taskmasters were very severe. The head-workmen justly complained to Pharaoh: but he taunted them. The Israelites should have humbled themselves before God and taken to themselves the shame of their sin, but instead, they quarreled with those who were to be their deliverers.

    TITLE: They Cry Out Upon Moses And Aaron. Exodus 5:19-21 Scripture: Exodus 5:19-21 (KJV) 19And the officers of the children of Israel did see that they were in evil case, after it was said, Ye shall not minish ought from your bricks of your daily task. 20And they met Moses and Aaron, who stood ...read more

    Bridge Builders (January 14, 2018 Second Sunday After Epiphany)

    Contributed by John Williams Iii on Nov 4, 2021
     | 1,817 views

    What is a priest? One way to think about what a priest does is to compare them to being a bridge builder. Why that analogy? A bridge connects pieces of land that are geographically separated, much like a priest helps people connect with God.

    BRIDGE BUILDERS (January 14, 2018 Second Sunday after Epiphany) Text: I Samuel 3:1-10 1 Samuel 3:1-10  Now the boy Samuel was ministering to the LORD under Eli. The word of the LORD was rare in those days; visions were not widespread.  (2)  At that time Eli, whose eyesight had ...read more

    Focussing on the actions of Herod, we see that no one stood up to tell him he was doing wrong, and how well this speaks to us now when we stay silent, when we should really be speaking up.

    In the name of the Father, Son and Holy Spirit. Amen. “Oh what a tangled web we weave when we practice to deceive.” A saying often mistakenly attributed to Shakespeare, but in fact was first published by Sir Walter Scott in the poem, “Marmion” in 1808. A phrase which speaks of betrayal, and ...read more

    The other, more important meaning, is that there will be a coming reversal of circumstances for those who are unfortunate, the marginalized, the abused, those who live in poverty, so these beatitudes are not just virtues to attain in this life.

    Dear Abby, the popular advice column in the newspaper still published today with authorship changes, once received a letter that describes the "if only" attitude: "It was Spring, But it was Fall I wanted, the colorful leaves and the cool dry air. It was Fall, but it was Winter I ...read more

    What Does The Bible Say About Haughty Eyes (High Look)?

     | 393 views

    What is a high look? Have you ever seen someone who walks around with their nose up in the air as if they have to look down there nose just to see you?

    The KJV – An high look, and a proud heart, and the plowing of the wicked, is sin. The Easy-to-Read Version – Proud looks and proud thoughts are sins. They show a person is evil. The GNT – Wicked people are controlled by their conceit and arrogance, and this is sinful. The Message – Arrogance and ...read more
