     | 99 views

    God’s providence never sleeps—He orchestrates the unseen, turns delay into deliverance, and transforms sleepless nights into triumphs of His timing.

    Introduction: When God Works the Night Shift History has turned on sleepless nights. On one sleepless night in Babylon, Daniel prayed and an empire shifted. On one sleepless night in Bethlehem, shepherds watched and angels sang. On one sleepless night in Susa, the king tossed and turned— and God ...read more

    Reflecting The Light Of Love

    Contributed by Isaac Butterworth on Apr 30, 2022
     | 2,695 views

    The darkness in this world spreads, but the light of Christ shines. And it illumines us and radiates through us to the world.

    I want to draw your attention again to the beginning of this passage, where it say, “When he had gone out…” (John 13:31). Who is John talking about here? Who is it that has just “gone out”? It’s Judas, isn’t it? If you rewind a few verses in this thirteenth chapter of John, you see that Jesus is ...read more

    Holy Habits #5: Godliness Series

    Contributed by John Dobbs on Jul 18, 2025
     | 399 views

    Godliness. Any light that we shine into this dark world is not our own. It is a reflection of the Son. That is a good working definition of godliness - shining the light of God’s love into a dark world.

    HOLY HABIT #5   GODLINESS Introduction The moon tonight (July 20, 2025) is at the phase known as Waning Crescent. Only 21.3% of the moon is visible. The last full moon was July 10th. During this phase, over the next five days, the moon will be virtually invisible to the naked ...read more

    Innocent Of The Blood Of All

    Contributed by Steve Shepherd on Jun 2, 2008
    based on 13 ratings
     | 4,632 views

    How can we Christians become innocent of the blood of all men? 1- By proclaiming the will of God 2- By warning people night and day

    INTRO.- Innocence. That sounds good, but are we innocent in any way, shape or form? I was once in life. You were too. ILL.- It’s like the story of the little boy peeking over the corner of his newborn baby brother’s crib, saying, "Quick! Tell me what God is like before you forget." We all ...read more

    Is a fellowship supper, fellowship? Is a night out with the Christian guys at a ball game, fellowship? Just what is "Koinonia" in the Scriptures? Are you in fellowship?

    The word, a Greek word, is even popular among English-speaking Christians: Koinonia. Partnership. Participation. Translated communication, communion, distribution, fellowship. It is used by Luke, Paul, and John, in 8 Bible books. Have we fully understood and implemented the meaning of this concept? ...read more

    What do you think the Tent of Meeting, the Tabernacle, looked like? You might imagine it being very impressive, but not really, more than likely it looked dark, mostly black, or maybe it was a very dark shade of brown.
