     | 15,167 views

    The difficulties associated with our modern day are reaching new levels of intensity. The majority is not interested in the Word or worship. As difficult as it may be, we remain obligated to serve the Lord and reach others. We can advance for Christ.

    Advancing in the Midst of Adversity 1 John 2: 24-29 Take a moment to consider the great challenges John spoke of in our last study. He warned the spirit of antichrist was already among us, seeking to undermine the church and hinder her ministry. He reminds us that we are living in the last time, ...read more

    Are you feeling caught between worlds? Are you feeling troubled by an emotion you can't quite name? Are you desperately lonely? Cut off? Perplexed? Amazed?

    "The loneliness of the Christian results from his walk with God in an ungodly world, a walk that must often take him away from the fellowship of good Christians as well as from that of the unregenerate world. His God-given instincts cry out for companionship with others of his kind, others ...read more

    What does it mean to be weak in Jesus? We need to be honest with ourselves, understanding that we are sinful and we are weak. We need THE savior daily in our life.

    based on 1 rating
     | 3,517 views

    We all make judgments practically every day. Some are quick and quite subtle, while others are more deliberate and obvious. Believers must ensure their judgments are biblical, and measured with grace.

    The Verdict on Judgment Matthew 7: 1-5 We have come to a new chapter in our study of the Sermon on the Mount, but it is just a continuation of the thoughts of our Lord. We have considered and discussed many practical subjects that deal with human life and practice in our study and we continue to ...read more

    Love is a verb, it’s a word of action. The actress Joan Crawford once said “Love is a fire but whether it warms your heart or burns your house down, you can never tell!”

    God Love. Psalm 103:8-13 The reason I named this, God love, is because you have to know God love, before you can love God and others appropriately. If you’re ‘one’ that says, “I know God loves me but….” Until you truly understand that nothing can separate you from Gods love, confusion dominates. ...read more

     | 6,630 views

    Judas Iscariot, whom Jesus called “the son of perdition,” lived up to his name by agreeing to hand over Jesus to the religious leaders for a rather insignificant amount of money. How did he get the courage for this evil act? The Bible has the answer.
