The Passion Of Job

Contributed by Christian Wallace on Dec 17, 2012

In light of the massacre of infants at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, CT some maybe questioning: "Where is God in all of this?"; "Why is there evil in the world?"; "Why do the good suffer with the bad?" I believe that God has a Word that is ta

- Job lost his children to violence - lost his character, health, wealth, and property to boot - Job, once considered "the greatest of all the people of the East."

Born To Die, Born To Give Life

Contributed by Jonathan Meyer on Dec 27, 2017

Most nativity scenes portray a cute scene of a happy little family, & friendly visitors. That's the way we like to think of it, but it's hardly realistic. When we pause at the manger with this image, we maybe forget that this infant was born to die.

Psalm 22: A Cry For Deliverance

Contributed by Jason Smith on Sep 25, 2013

This messianic psalm is a psalm in which David, at a time in his life that was dark and seemed to be hopeless, cried on the Lord for deliverance and received it. David also, as a prophet, speaks of the Lord's suffering, death, and resurrection.

INTRODUCTION I really love the psalms. Psalm after psalm we see the writers just pour out their hearts out to the Lord. No matter what their emotions and attitudes were, they approached their God with their concerns. We see psalms of praise glorifying the Lord for who He is and what He has done ...read more

Divine Deliverance Series

Contributed by Andrew Dixon on Mar 5, 2022

It is so amazing that God’s timing and ways are amazing. God was in control and it was the perfect time for the princess to come to the river, to see the ark and that the baby actually cried at that moment when she opened the ark.

Contributed by Scott Maze on Apr 7, 2024

Pause and imagine Joseph explaining everything to his parents. “Yes, mom, as I told you earlier. Mary is a good young lady, and we didn’t do anything. She is “with child” because of the Holy Spirit, and I didn’t lay a hand on her. I know it’s hard to believe, but I promise you it’s true.”

If We Cry Out…

Contributed by Ed Warfield on Aug 21, 2008

“Crying out” stirs something up in the heart of God. It moves God to action on our behalf. 100’s of times throughout the Psalms, David cried out to God & called the people to do the same.

If We Cry Out… - Proverbs 2:3 Intro.: We have focused on the first “if” of Proverbs 2: Receiving, Treasuring, Inclining & Applying. Now we’re ready to move on to the second “if”. We’ll find that this 2nd level is more aggressive. 1st we were called to “silence”. Now, we’re commanded to “cry out” & ...read more
