    Explore and understand Jeremiah 29:11, focusing on how God's promise in this verse applies to and shapes His purpose and plan for our family units.

    Good morning, family. Today, we're going to take a closer look at Jeremiah 29:11 and what it tells us about God's purpose, plan, and promise for the family unit.

    We are opposed to atheists and their impact on our society, but is it possible that we are atheists in the way we act? How can we keep from becoming practical atheists?

    Passage: I Samuel 17 Intro: If you want to stir up the Christian community, talk about atheists and atheism. 1. we know the definition well; those who do not believe that God exists. 2. as a unified group, take responsibility for all kinds of mischief. 3. prayer in schools, ten commandments ...read more

    based on 1 rating
     | 4,683 views

    David was a man after God’s own heart, because of his integrity. Through an overview of David's life, we explore what it is to have the heart of God, by contrasting “Saul’s heart of defiance” with “David’s heart of obedience.”

    Baptist Men’s Day, on the Southern Baptist Convention calendar, is observed on January 24, 2021 (which, of course, we are a week late).

    Wisdom is about making good choices, and it is also about know what to typically expect in life and in dealing with otherås. We can always gain more wisdom as we incorporate particular concepts.

    Wise and Wiser (Proverbs 25:1-7) 1. Last week, I finally carved out some time to water blast our back deck. Between rain, cold, and busy schedules, it was no easy task. 2.

    Like David in the OT, the Christian will face the opposition of Satan, and is called to go out on a limb for God.

    We all know well the story of David and Goliath; it’s one we grew up with from Sunday School. It’s a story which catches a popular vein.

    based on 1 rating
     | 6,268 views
