    Don't Waste Your Sorrows Series

    Contributed by David Dykes on Oct 30, 2014
    based on 2 ratings
     | 19,085 views

    One reason God allows suffering is so we will depend on him. Suffering shows us the value of God’s grace. Sometimes we think grace was just something way back yonder when we got saved. But we forget that God’s grace is active right now, present tense.

    INTRODUCTION I felt the tugging of the Holy Spirit this week telling me to go back and look at verses 3 and 4 of Romans 5 because I know some of you are going through some very difficult times right now, struggling with suffering and pain and tribulation. I hope the Holy Spirit will use this ...read more

    David certainly has a right to give us advice since he is writing under the inspiration of the Holy Spirit. The problem today is that most of the advice given originates from man instead of God.

    I Am The Light Of The World Series

    Contributed by Michael Stark on Jul 4, 2009
    based on 4 ratings
     | 9,645 views

    What does it mean when Jesus says He is the Light of the World? He spoke to a culture thoroughly verse in the Old Covenant, and so to understand the significance of His words, we will need to explore what the people heard when He spoke.

    ”Again Jesus spoke to [the Jewish leaders], saying, ‘I am the light of the world. Whoever follows Me will not walk in darkness, but will have the light of life.’ So the Pharisees said to him, ‘You are bearing witness about yourself; your testimony is not true.’ Jesus answered, ‘Even if I do bear ...read more

    Christians living in Sodom are in grave danger. Though God will graciously keep His own, they must need His warning to escape.

    “The two angels came to Sodom in the evening, and Lot was sitting in the gate of Sodom. When Lot saw them, he rose to meet them and bowed himself with his face to the earth and said, ‘My lords, please turn aside to your servant’s house and spend the night and wash your feet.

     | 21,331 views

    In Hebrews 12:1–3. we see various aspects of the race, as they are compared to the faithful life in Christ. Christ calls us to 1) Race Freely (Hebrews 12:1), 2) Race Focused (Hebrews 12:2), and 3) Race to the Finish (Hebrews 12:3)

    In the ancient Isthmian games of Greece, a pedestal stood at the finish line, and on it hung a wreath—the winner’s prize. No one runs a race without some expectation of reward. The reward may be nothing more than a ribbon or a trophy or a wreath of leaves. It may be a prize worth a ...read more
