    When Jacob has to flee Laban, he learns Esau is comming at him with 400 armed men. His schemes have caught up with him as he finds himself between a rock and a hardplace. What was God doing in the situation? What do we do when we find ourselves in a place

    The situation may seem impossible to us but with God all things are possible

    For the most part, every one of us have heard the story of David and Goliath many times. We know the story how David used a sling to propel a rock which struck Goliath in the one spot on his body that wasn’t covered by armour. When I grew up in Northeast Alabama a sling shot was considered a ...read more

     | 9,012 views

    Paul gives instructions about elders and then various or sundry exhortations on several subjects. 1- Consider elders as worthy 2- Partake not in the sins of others 3- Remember the judgment

    INTRO.- What’s the difference between Sunday and sundry? A change of letters. But what’s the real difference? Sunday is important to the Christian because it’s considered in scripture as the first day of the week, resurrection day and the day the early Christians partook of the Lord’s Day. (Acts ...read more

    Peter's responsibility was massive. Who would be allowed into this belief, who would find salvation? Our task is similar.

    In the passage from Matthew 16:13-20 we hear a conversation between Jesus and Peter that happened in a region called Caesarea Philippi. A wee bit of background to this conversation: prior to this conversation the disciples and Jesus had been on the other side of the Sea of Galilee in North ...read more

     | 8,816 views

    Attaining the church's purpose is about "keeping the main thing the main thing." People must not only "know" the core values, but they must also "hear" them continually restated so they can envision what they're working towards.

    Proverbs states, “Where there is no vision, the people perish” (Proverbs 29:18 KJV). Bill Hybels, in his book Courageous Leadership, tells us, “When a leader is casting a vision publicly the goal is to help people know, understand, and remember the ‘main thing’.”(1) Purpose is all about keeping ...read more

    "...he Shall Receive A Reward"

     | 2,378 views

    In chapters one and two, the apostle Paul laid the foundation for us to build our Christian lives on. WHAT A FOUNDATION HE LAID! That foundation is Christ.

    Paul is not bashful in the slightest about telling us about the Lord. Look at Colossians 2:10. We read, “And ye are complete in him, which is the head of all principality and power.” These false teachers had been trying to tell people that Christ is not sufficient within Himself, but Paul says ...read more
