One below fills the bucket, and when the tug is felt then the one above pulls up the ...read more

     | 1,540 views

    As we preach through this series on the commandments I would like to remind you again of the importance of the importance of considering just why God gave these commandments to children of Israel.

    They had been in cruel bondage for four hundred and thirty years. Then God freed them from that bondage. God reminds them of that in verse 2, we read, “I am the Lord thy God, which have brought thee out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage.” Isn’t it amazing, if I do you a big ...read more

    What God’s Love Do In Our Lives

     | 2,898 views

    In Chicago a few years ago a little boy walked to Sunday school every Sunday. When his parents moved to another part of the city the little boy still attended the same Sunday school, although it meant a longer distance to walk.

    A friend asked him why he went so far when there were plenty of other churches near his home. He said, “I attend my church because they love a fellow over there.” If only we could convince the world that we loved them there would be fewer empty pews in our churches. A TRUE DEFINITION OF LOVE. ...read more

    Psalm 88 is the gloomiest chapter in all the bible. There is not one glimmer of hope yet we can draw from it wonderful teaching. The psalmist was in a very dark state . Even by the end of the Psalm the conflict was not resolved. In Psalm 88, the writer was overcome by feelings and emotions.

     | 2,283 views

    The spirit of retaliation is natural to the unregenerate mind. It belongs to the animal part of our nature. It creeps into our earliest feelings as little children. And it is one of the most difficult of evils to overcome.
