    Use What God Has Given

    Contributed by Christian Cheong on Sep 1, 2024
     | 2,191 views

    The parable of the talents reminded us of what we are to be doing from now until the day Jesus returns. We are stewards entrusted with God's gift and we are to use what He has given for the work of His Kingdom. We are accountable to Him for how we live our lives today.

    Matt 25:14-30 - USE WHAT GOD HAS GIVEN Jesus has been telling His disciples, and all of us today, of the signs of the end times and that after He left, He would return. • As to the day and time of His return, no one knows except God the Father. • But His second coming is sure and we are to ...read more

    When Diligence Becomes Hard Labour

    Diligence is a virtue but when God is taken out of the picture, it becomes a liability characterized by vanity, sorrow, hard labour, restlessness, failure and poverty

    Except the LORD build the house, they labour in vain that build it: except the LORD keep the city, the watchman waketh but in vain. It is vain for you to rise up early, to sit up late, to eat the bread of sorrows: for so he giveth his beloved sleep. Ps 127:1-2 Biblical Facts: 1. At every given ...read more

    From the beginning of history man has played "hide and seek" with God. But God had a different game called "seek and found"

    OPENING: What do you think the first game is that a child learns? For my boy Jonathan, his 1st game was "hide and seek." When he was about 1 year old he was sitting with me in the living room and had watched me put his blanket over my head and play "peek a boo." Then with a sly grin he put the ...read more

    Seeking And Searching

    God uses the seeking and searching as the purifying fire that prepares us to receive what we find. Through our seeking and searching, we are changed into the people who can steward and be trusted with the deep things of God’s heart.

    Seeking and Searching – Proverbs 2:4-5 Intro.: The last “if” of Proverbs 2 describes the lifestyle & wisdom of going after the knowledge of God: “If you seek her as silver & search for her as hidden treasure...” I’ve referred to the spirit of revelation several times throughout this series.

    The Fog - Hide And Seek Series

    Contributed by Michael Mccartney on Sep 19, 2023
     | 1,816 views

    The fog has rolled into western culture and choked out intimacy with God. The fog hinders and blocks us from being in an intimate relationship with God. The fog drives us to choose to hide from God rather than seek out His presence! But Jesus is seeking us out even in the fog!

    The Fog Chapter 4 - “Hide and Seek?” Illustration: Have you ever played Hide and Seek – I have with my grandkids – Deklan is the funniest because where he hides is usually in the same place and if you listen you can hear him singing – he loves to sing – at our summer blast I put him on the ponies, ...read more

    Sackcloth and ashes. Fasting and weeping. Tearing clothes and pulling out hair. Lying face down in the dirt. What does repentance look like for New Testament believers? The Prophet Zephaniah reminds of us what believers do when they are repentant.

    Sackcloth and ashes. Fasting and weeping. Tearing clothes and pulling out hair. Lying face down in the dirt. Those are some powerful pictures of repentance, wouldn’t you agree? And what were Old Testament believers saying with these traditions? Wearing clothes made from rough ...read more

    Some of the exiled elders come and sit before Ezekiel as if they are ready to hear from God and God shows Ezekiel that these people aren't really ready to hear His voice and pronounces more judgement, while calling for repentance.

    VERSES 1-5: “Are you talking to ME?” -- God Some of the elders come and place themselves before Ezekiel. This is symbolic of a desire to be instructed by a rabbi. It indicates a desire to hear from God, even if it is half-hearted as we will see in this study. For a moment, ...read more

    Hide And Seek

    If God seems hidden, maybe we’re not looking in the right place. We have to move to a different place, stand at a different angle, look from a different perspective, before we can find God in the answer.

    One Sunday morning a little girl in her Sunday best was running so she wouldn’t be late for church. Maybe it was daylight savings time.... As she ran she kept praying, “Dear God, please don’t let me be late to church. Please don’t let me be late to church...” As she was running she tripped and ...read more

    God wants us to spend time with him. But do we want to spend time with him? How can we? why should we? Do we come to God on his terms or ours?

    I once told a friend that all I wanted was to be happy in God’s presence. And I guess what I’m saying this morning is as a result of the reply I received. Because I was reminded, that I shouldn’t seek God for my own happiness, I should seek him for himself. Seeking God for himself. (But what ...read more
