    based on 4 ratings
     | 5,184 views

These accounts are found in the books of First and Second Samuel—and primarily detail the life of Samuel, the rise and fall of King Saul, and the choice of his ...read more

    The focus of this charter is the promises the Lord made to Israel.

    The focus of this charter is the promises the Lord made to Israel. The burden of the word of the Lord is a prediction.

     | 3,634 views

    "Turning the other cheek" is a challenge to anyone who follows Jesus. What is it? What is it not?

    "for Thine is the kingdom, the power and the glory forever. Amen!" Whoa! We know this is true but why is it in some Bibles and not others? Are there some Bibles that are better than others? Were errors made? Should we fight over them? Lord please help us!

    Over the last five weeks we have been taking a look at The Lord’s Prayer and today we come to the end of verse 13 which says … Matthew 6:13 “For Thine is the Kingdom and the power and the glory forever. Amen.” That is a grand statement! I love getting to that part of the ...read more

We ended that lesson looking at some of Jesus’s words from the sermon on the mount where Jesus tells us what to commit to and what not to commit to, what not to worry about and what to seek ...read more

    When the U. S. Government tries to force religious entities to choose between our faith and their mandates, we have to choose God every time.

    Chipping Away At Our Religious Freedom Today’s message is connected to last week’s message in part only because the President and his administration, mainly Health and Human Services Secretary, Kathleen Sebelius are deeply involved in chipping away at our 1st amendment rights to freedom ...read more

    When Paul visited Jerusalem, Peter (and others) gave him the “right hand of fellowship”; but when Peter visited Antioch, Paul “opposed him to his face.” Peter’s conduct in Antioch produced a tense face-to-face confrontation between two Christian leaders.

    Again, I want to remind you that God gave us the ten commandments to tell us what HE LIKES, and what HE DISLIKES.

    This is important, because it would not be fair for God to hold us responsible on the judgment day, if we did not KNOW WHAT IS and WHAT IS NOT acceptable unto him. Illus: That would be like going down a highway without any speed limit signs, and the highway patrolman pulling you over, and giving ...read more
