     | 182 views

    The greatest miracle of all is knowing that things will come out right in the end because of God’s love for us.

    My brother Jeremy picked me up at the airport a couple of weeks ago when I flew to Pittsburgh. He isn’t from Pittsburgh, though, he’s from Alaska. So we relied on Mapquest to get from the airport to the seminary. Pittsburgh is the hardest city to drive in I know. Well, they tell me Boston is worse, ...read more

    Never limit God. There is nothing too small for Him. Have faith. Be obedient. Give the little you have to God and watch a great miracle happen in your life. Use what you have with determination, never doubting that you can do great things for God.

    Today, we will explore the concept of using what we have in our hands for the glory of God. Often, we underestimate the value of what we possess and doubt our ability to make a difference. However, God can work miracles with even the smallest of things. Let us have faith, be obedient, and offer ...read more

    Many believers desire God's miracles but are not ready to obey His commands. To witness God's wonders, we must first dedicate our lives to Him. Please rate this sermon and provide brief feedback.

    Do you desire blessings from God? I believe we all do. However, many Christians are not willing to live according to God's ways. They prefer preachers who focus solely on material blessings rather than living for God. But the truth is, if we want to experience miracles from God, we must first ...read more

It can be challenging to trust in His timing and direction, but when we do, we experience His blessings and fulfillment in our lives. Today, we will explore the importance of ...read more

     | 149 views

    The Book of Judges, in Hebrew, is also called (the Shophetim) Shophetim (שֹׁפְטִים) It is the Hebrew title for the Book of Judges, meaning "Judges," "Rulers," or "Deliverers," referring to the leaders who governed Israel. Of course, I’m talking about Ehud and Gideon.

    Cycles in history refer to the idea that patterns, events, and societal moods recur over time. It’s usually described as repeating rhythms of growth, stability, decline, and crisis, most famously theorized by Strauss-Howe in their "Fourth Turning" model.

    Christian courage is essential to faith; in fact, the Bible says we cannot enter heaven without it. This sermon reviews why courage is so important, and how we can strengthen our courage to obey God.

    This morning, I’d like us to think about Christian character. And specifically, a Christian virtue that we don’t usually hear much about from the pulpit.
