    Hope In The Midst Of Darkness

    Contributed by Brian Williams on Jan 24, 2023
     | 2,197 views

    This is the time you need to hear the hope of the gospel, the hope of salvation and deliverance, no matter how discouraged you may be. We can make right choices even in the midst of darkness. To be encouraged and strengthened with words of faith. Your present situation is not the end of the story.

    I have heard it said time and time again over the years by Christian and non-Christian alike, that we are living in dark times. When we speak of darkness it could refer to the evils of untold suffering, catastrophes, cruelty, corruption, and malevolence. We have seen evil taking place on a global ...read more

    Why does Matthew add the story of the slaughter of the baby boys in Bethlehem. First becasue it is fact and second to trigger assocaiations between Jesus birth and Moses birth (see details in sermon)

    I came across this excerpt from a sermon from the Early Church Father St. Quod-vult-deus (Sermo 2 de Symbolo: PL 40, 655) “A tiny child is born, who is a great king. Wise men are led to him from afar. They come to adore one who lies in a manger and yet reigns in heaven and on earth. When ...read more

    One More Night With The Frogs

    When Pharaoh was plagued with the frogs, he cried out to Moses that he had had enough. Moses asked him when did he want God to remove them. Pharaoh said, "Tomorrow." He had to have one more night with the frogs. Why is sin so hard to let go of?

    God’s people had been in bondage and oppression for many years. God’s desire was to deliver them just as it is God’s desire to see everyone delivered who are in the bondage of sin and oppression. Therefore, God sent Moses and Aaron to pharaoh with the message to let his people go. Exodus 4:22-23. ...read more

    How are we to be people of integrity in a world that’s opposed to God? By being children of light, and living as light in the world. That means ensuring that the things we do are things that we’re proud of, things that we’d gladly do in the presence of Go

    What does it mean to be a person of integrity? Well, the word derives from the word integer, which means something that’s complete or whole in itself. So when you’re reading a letter like Ephesians, which concentrates so much on unity in the Church, it’s appropriate that we think about unity of our ...read more

    Nicodemus wanted to come to Christ on His terms but Jesus reveal who He really was.

    We have his disconnect in our society is that we attach what we do to how good we are. The more we do the better we are, and if sometimes we transgress, well we can just make that up. Our good works become a barrier to God. Some people seek religions that do this, some people create their own ...read more
