     | 3,301 views

    Since we live in a world with constant trouble, we can easily get quite discouraged. We groan under the load of problems and concerns. Yet we hope for something better. Romans 8:18-25 leads us through the journey from groans to glory.

    Alba 2-6-2022 FROM GROANS TO GLORY Romans 8:18-25 We live in a world with constant trouble, yet the apostle Paul writes in Romans 8:18, “For I consider that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us.” Think about it this ...read more

    The sad truth is that all of us seem to fit too well into Stevenson's story about Dr. Jekyll. Because we also seem to have a split personality, at times doing things we know we should not do.

    Alba 1-16-2022 WHO WILL DELIVER ME? Romans 7:14-25 Robert Louis Stevenson, who wrote Treasure Island, Kidnapped, and A Child's Garden of Verses, is also well known for writing The Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde first published in 1886.

     | 525 views

    People walked away from God with stiffened necks. The idolatrous nation was so wicked they would not repent. In the message we see God had tried so much to reach the nation of Judah but they were stubborn and rebellious and rejected and killed the prophets. Disobedience considered.

    OBEYING GOD’S WILL IN YOUR LIFE, DOES NOT GUARANTEE A STRESS-FREE, HASSLE-FREE AND TROUBLE-FREE LIFE; ON THE CONTRARY, IT CAN BE UNEASY, TURBULENT AND UNCOMFORTABLE; HOWEVER, GOD WILL NEVER LEAVE YOU NOR FORSAKE YOU.”

    So many people are gripped with all kinds of fears, one of the major ones being the fear of death. Learn what Jesus did to set us free from this daunting fear of death, to give us hope for eternity.

    We read in Hebrews 2:14-15, “Since then the children are sharers in flesh and blood, he also himself in like manner partook of the same; that through death he might bring to nought him that had the power of death, that is, the devil; and might deliver all them who through fear of death were all ...read more

    Why are some of our prayers not answered? What can we learn from the prayer of Jabez? May we learn to pray in a way that honors God so that we can receive answers to our fervent prayers.

    We read in 1 Chronicles 4:9-10, “Jabez was more honorable than his brothers, and his mother named him Jabez saying, "Because I bore him with pain. Now Jabez called on the God of Israel, saying, "Oh that You would bless me indeed and enlarge my border, and that Your hand might be with me, ...read more

     | 1,364 views

    Fear is one of the most common things Christians have to face. We need to distinguish between the enemy or danger and the fear that the enemy or danger produces, and know how to deal with the fear.

    Marriage is God’s idea and God created Eve as a suitable helper for Adam. Only when couples understand the sanctity of marriage and abide by the guidelines that God has set for us will we have happy and healthy families that honor God and are a blessing to others.

    We read in Philippians 4:8, “Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is commendable, if there is any excellence, if there is anything worthy of praise, think about these things.” (ESV) The word of God teaches us ...read more
