    When you will earnestly seek the face of God, He will give you rest and triumph over adversity.

    SEEK, REST, AND TRIUMPH 2 Chronicles 14:1-15 INTRODUCTION: During the reigns of Rehoboam and Abijah, the true worship of God in Judah declined. Idolatry increased.

    You can contend for the faith once delivered to the saints without being contentious.

    1Tim 3:1 This is a true saying, If a man desire the office of a bishop, he desireth a good work. 2 A bishop then must be blameless, the husband of one wife, vigilant, sober, of good behaviour, given to hospitality, apt to teach; 3 Not given to wine, no striker, not greedy of filthy lucre; but ...read more

    Unity In The Body Series

    Contributed by Doug Fannon on Jul 16, 2018
     | 27,066 views

    We are called to unity, not just to be together. No one was ever called to walk this Christian life alone. Every member of the body is responsible to maintain the unity. We maintain unity by individually and collectively keeping our focus on Jesus.

    Concerning unity in the church, one of my favorit commentators and Christian authors, A.W. Tozer, the great evangelist and Christian theologian from 60 years ago, commented: Has it ever occurred to you that one hundred pianos all tuned to the same tuning fork are automatically tuned to each other? ...read more

     | 23,357 views

    Jesus’ own brother, Jude, was convinced of the reality of Jesus being the Son of God and he contended for the faith. He also shows us how to contend for the faith and obtain spiritual security for our own souls.

    7 Keys to Spiritual Security By Pastor Jim May Jude 1:20-25, "But ye, beloved, building up yourselves on your most holy faith, praying in the Holy Ghost, keep yourselves in the love of God, looking for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ unto eternal life.

    We need to contend for the faith because false teachers and non-Christians will try to wear us down so that we give up the faith fight!

    Scripture reminds us to contend with others, Christian or not, with charity as our rule of engagement.

    Homily for Monday of 11th week in Course 2 Cor 6: 1-10; Mt 5:38-42 There’s an old story that after the battle of Waterloo, someone was speaking to Lord Wellington about the superior courage of his soldiers.

    Victory In Jesus Series

     | 12,643 views

    Jude warns us from false teachings, but in the final two verses of this little letter, Jude gives a doxology that states our security in Jesus.

    Something I seldom do and that is switch to another translation of the Bible. This morning I will be using the English Standard Version rather than the New King James Version for our text of Jude 24-25 because of the differences between the different versions based on different Greek manuscripts. ...read more

    The Bible states that there will be a universal kingdom of God on Earth one day, after a new Heaven and a new Earth are recreated by God, without any help from humanity

    The second law of thermodynamics supports the Bible statement that the Earth "will wear out like a garment" (Hebrews 1:11 NIV). Only Jesus Christ, the sovereign and omnipotent God, can make new what is now growing old (See Isaiah 51:6; 2 Peter 3:11-13). He is the only one who can save ...read more

    "Where To Get Help When You Hurt" Series

    based on 1 rating
     | 8,065 views

    I must earnestly believe that God exists, that I matter to Him, and that He has the power to help me recover.

    Last week we said all of us need recovery because none of us is perfect. The root cause is our sin nature, our desire to play God, to be in control rather than give God control. So we've each been hurt, we've each hurt others, and we've each hurt ourselves. And we find ourselves constantly dealing ...read more

    A Faith Worth Fighting For - Part One Series

    The short and often neglected letter of Jude is a challenge to believers to stand strong in the faith in the face of false teaching. A valuable lesson to Christians in all ages.

    Open up your Bibles to Jude. When is the last time you heard that? Jude is the next to the last book of the New Testament, right before Revelation. It doesn’t rank up there on the list of most popular books in the Bible. Not many quotes from Jude are on your refrigerator or being cross stitched for ...read more
