     | 12,472 views

    Last week we looked at a portion of the life of Joseph, and in the process God revelaed through Joseph’s life the Character of a Godly Man. With that said, I would llike to draw our attention to Psalm 1. It is here that we can uncover some of the founda

    THE ATTRIBUTES OF A GODLY MAN Psalm 1:1-3 (NIV) Blessed is the man who does not walk in the counsel of the wicked or stand in the way of sinners or sit in the seat of mockers. 2 But his delight is in the law of the LORD, and on his law he meditates day and night. 3 He is like a tree planted by ...read more

    Studies In Revelation: Church Of Laodicea Series

    Contributed by Edward Hardee on Oct 12, 2011
     | 3,139 views

    This is a study of the church of Laodicea in the book of Revelation. This is a controversial subject but takes a conservative approach to understanding the book.

    Note: I used many sources to study this book, one of my favorites is Revelation: God’s Word for the Biblically-Inept by Daymond Duck and some out of different study bibles. Title: The Church of Laodicea: The City of Compromise Theme: To see why Jesus had no commendation for the church and what we ...read more

    Samson Part 1 Series

    Contributed by Tom Fuller on Sep 2, 2007
    based on 4 ratings
     | 5,790 views

    Samson had everything going for him: supportive, godly parents, a good home environment, and blessing from God. So why did he decide to walk a path of selfishness and what does that say to us?

    Samson is a puzzling character. He had great successes for the nation of Israel but personally was a total failure. He was as weak morally and spiritually as he was strong physically. Why the Lord ever used him is beyond me and why his story is just so interesting and compelling floors me. I think ...read more

    What a friend we have in Jesus, a friend who is competent and capable when the challenges of life seem more than we can bear.

    Weakening the Adversary’s Hold Through Prayer (Mark 9:14-29) 1. A Barna poll in 2009 of people who professed to be some sort of Christian — not necessarily evangelical — states the following: “Four out of ten Christians (40%) strongly agreed that Satan “is not a ...read more

    Contributed by Ed Vasicek on Jun 5, 2017
     | 9,658 views

    Moderation should be our starting point when making our decisions, including the minor decisions of daily life.

    Moderation in Action (Proverbs 25:15-17) 1. Moderation is not merely a Jewish or Christian value. In ancient Greece, the temple of Apollo at Delphi bore the inscription Meden Agan … 'Nothing in excess'. Doing something "in moderation" means not doing it excessively. (Wikipedia) 2.

    Contributed by Ross Cochrane on Dec 15, 2009
    based on 16 ratings
     | 7,393 views

    What is it with angels? They turn up all through the Bible with multiple wingsets, (not just two wings like you see in the pictures), with the Ark of the Covenant, with Jesus after His temptation, in Revelation praising God with voices like thunder.

    Genesis 6 - Angels, Demons, Giants, Vampires, Aliens and Your Marriage! Every woman wants to marry an angel, but... Have you ever seen an angel? I have. At the foot of our bed. Wasn’t on drugs. Wasn’t a dream. Wasn’t sick or hallucinating. Sure it was an angel. Such peace. Such a sense of God’s ...read more

    based on 1 rating
     | 5,090 views

    Knowledge of God’s Word and doctrine is an important part of Christian growth and maturity; it is not enough, but it is foundational. We vary, one from another, in our relationship to it.

    Missing Pieces (Acts 18:24-28; 19:1-10) 1. A not-so- bright gal calls her boyfriend and says, “Please come over here and help me. I have a killer jigsaw puzzle, and I can’t figure out how to get it started.” He asks, “What is it supposed to be when it’s finished?” The girl says, “According to the ...read more

    Contributed by John Lowe on Mar 26, 2021
     | 2,433 views

    This section assumes the rich and the poor’s understanding that appears at other places in James and reflects the influence of the reception of the poor by Jesus in the exhortation not to show partiality in the church.

    Lesson Text: James 2:1-4 (KJV) 1My brethren, have not the faith of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Lord of glory, with respect of persons. 2For if there come unto your assembly a man with a gold ring, in goodly apparel, and there come in also a poor man in vile raiment; 3And ye have respect to him ...read more

     | 3,222 views

    Out of the most desperate situations God is able to do a work of hope. The Messiah is a shoot from the stump of Jesse. From a stump God will raise up a ruler and king. Not just any king but the greatest the world will ever know, the Messiah, King Jesus.

    In what way would you describe the almighty power of God? One way would be to picture a forest. A giant comes along something like “Paul Banyan” who walks through swinging a two sided axe and chops down trees with each swing. It would be like swinging a cycle in a field of wheat.
