Psalm 23 Part Vii "My Cup Overflows Series

Contributed by Brad Henry on Aug 9, 2011

David’s cup overflowed because of NOTHING he did. His cup overflowed because of what God did through him. God chose David. There was not anything David could have done to earn this spot. No amount of chasing will get the job done if God is not in it.

Psalm 23b “You anoint my head with oil; my cup overflows.” Since David write the 23rd Psalm and David talks about anointing lets look back to David’s anointing by the prophet Samuel. When the Lord took the kingdom from Saul the Lord led the prophet Samuel to Jesse’s family. ...read more

Doing More With Less

Contributed by Joseph Smith on Jan 9, 2010

In times of scarcity or stress, two personalities respond: fear, the cup half empty; and faith, the cup half full.

Those are beautiful words; they are lofty sentiments. But how? How can such things happen? In an ...read more

Christ’s Childhood Series

Contributed by Paul Clemente on Aug 22, 2011

As Christians, we have responsibilities on earth (family, work, school, society, etc…), but we must always remember where we ultimately belong (we are citizens of heaven)!

When Jesus Christ was on earth, He was fully man and fully God! This of course is a mystery, but it is truth. This is similar to the truth and mystery of God is One but exists in Three Persons.
