    Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Dec 31, 2022
     | 2,266 views

    When Paul said to give thanks in everything he meant it, and he did just that; thanks in persecution, thanks in every difficulty; thanks for His fellow Christians and workmen. Thanks and rejoicing go together and they are considered in this message.

    Life has its share of difficulty and uncertainty. At times, we all wonder where life will lead and how we will overcome the obstacles we face. Even in the worst of situations, we can take comfort knowing our sovereign Lord is in control.

    Sovereignty within Mayhem Esther 6:1-9 Although their hearts are not filled with joy, Mordecai and Esther must have been encouraged somewhat by her meeting with Ahasuerus. He had extended her favor, while granting her request. The banquet with the king and Haman was scheduled, and Esther would now ...read more

    The Narrow And Difficult Way Series

    based on 2 ratings
     | 4,450 views

    There are two separate gates that lead to two separate ways, or roads. One way leads to blessing and the other way to difficulty. So, which way, or which road, leads to life and blessing? The correct way is Jesus (John 14:6).

    How To Put Out The Fire Of The Tongue (Part 1)

    Contributed by Tony Miano on Apr 29, 2001
    based on 94 ratings
     | 5,261 views

    One way to organize this passage is to divide it into three primary sections. First we see James deal with the pride of speech (vv. 1-2a). Second he deals with the power of speech (vv. 2b-5a). Lastly, he deals with the perversion of speech (vv. 5b-12).

    Many are skeptical of the church and the Gospel. In times of difficulty, we must abide in the truth, rather than shying away from it. The faith we have in Christ will sustain us in times of need. We must be faithful to proclaim Jesus to others.

    The Witness of Christ 1 John 5: 6-12 As I read these verses I was reminded of the difficulties of that day. John lived during the early days of the church, while she was yet in her infancy. The Gospel was being shared and many were saved, but false doctrine and heresy abounded as well. Many ...read more

    Many of us today are dealing with rejection. Many will have to deal with rejection in the future. What hurts the most is when unjust rejection comes from unexpected sources. As with all things, we must turn to God’s Word for guidance in coping with rej
