Why We Disobey

Contributed by Christian Cheong on Sep 28, 2014

Disobedience is an issue of misplaced trust and miguided "truth". Obedience is a matter of the heart and flows from a heart of trust and love. Build your trust in God and grow your love for God.

Why do we disobey? Have you thought about that? • Think for a moment the last time you disobeyed someone, your parents, your superior. Why did you do that? What causes it? • It couldn’t be nothing. There is always something that triggers our disobedience. God has given clear ...read more

Living With The Enemy Series

Contributed by Christian Cheong on Jun 8, 2015

We compromise because we believe in alternatives and we do not believe in the grave consequences of our actions. Don't fall for the devil's lies. Hold fast to what God says. God's commands are inherently good and not impossible to be obeyed.

Three Widows In Moab Series

Contributed by Christopher Benfield on Jun 17, 2020

As you examine the lives of Naomi, Ruth, and Orpah, you find a picture of all people. Naomi represents a wayward believer; Orpah pictures one who was exposed and yet refused the gospel; Ruth is a picture of grace in salvation.

A Disturbing Call From A Merciful God Series

Contributed by Allan Quak on Feb 17, 2020

The call by God for Jonah to go to Nineveh to preach is a call which confronts Jonah with a disturbing dynamic of God’s unanticipated mercy. Jonah finds this call too disturbing so he goes in the opposite direction to run away from the call of God.
