     | 7,540 views

    The criteria by which each of the churches of the New Testament are measured are their faith, hope, and love. This was a thanksgiving message looking at Paul's thankfulness for the Church at Colosse.

    In the ninth chapter of Revelations John decribes an event using the specific hour, day, month, and year. This is amazing considering in heaven there is no measurement of time.

    An Appointed Time Revelations 9:13-21 See: Rev. 9:13-21 In heaven everything is seen from the perspective of eternity. But to put things in perspective for us the reader we see the measurement of time. Mention: Rev. 8:1 for about the space of half an hour Also: Rev. 11:2-3 forty-two months and a ...read more

    The way God measures victory and the way the world does is two different ways. We are called to be "super conquerors" in Christ.

    Who are we in Christ? This message today is for those “in Christ,” who know Jesus as Lord and Savior.

    Two Kings, Two Paths

     | 433 views

    Big Idea: Saul grasped for control, while David trusted God’s timing. True kingship is not measured by force but by surrender to the Lord.

    They say, “timing is everything.” And you don’t have to be a musician to know that’s true — although if you’ve ever sung the wrong verse while everyone else moved on to the chorus, you know how awkward bad timing can be. Think about how much of life depends on timing. Arriving five minutes late to ...read more

     | 3,353 views

    Naaman was a powerful man, with all the success one could desire, all the esteem and glory, BUT he had leprosy. The account of his cure is of value to us as it contains lessons that benefit us in many ways. It was God who wrought the miracle, not Elisha. He was the willing servant.

    ELISHA’S MINISTRY - NAAMAN, ALMOST THE REJECT - 2 Kings 5:1-19 SERIES – MESSAGES ON ELISHA – HIS LIFE AND MINISTRY Number 14 When we consider chapter 5, the focus here is on Naaman, not so much on Elisha, but it is Elisha we are studying.
