    Satan’s Limitations: Satan Is Not Omnipresent Series

    Contributed by Jenny Franklin on Sep 12, 2022
    based on 1 rating
     | 5,150 views

    Job 1-2 reveals Satan’s limitations. Satan is not God’s equal opposite. Satan isn’t omnipresent (everywhere), omnipotent (all-powerful) or omniscient (all-knowing). This session’s focus - Satan isn’t God’s Equal, Satan isn’t Omnipresent.

    **************** Job 1-2 gives us some remarkable information about Satan. Job reminds me of Revelation in that the scenes go back and forth between spiritual and physical. In both books of the Bible, we see scenes in the spiritual realm in Heaven and the resulting physical ramifications on ...read more

    Peculiar People

    Contributed by Mike Bryant on Jun 8, 2021
     | 4,063 views

    Israel's desire for a king is used to illustrate the temptation we face to be more like the rest of the world. But even though the world's view of us often chafes, it is God's plan that we be conspicuously different.

    I) After Moses brought the nation of Israel out of Egypt, they did not have a king for many years. A) Unlike the nations around them, they were led by men and women, judges, who were direct intermediaries between God and man. B) Early on, the people tried to make one of those judges, Gideon, into ...read more

    based on 64 ratings
     | 6,094 views

    Instead of being satisfied to feel "sorry" when we miss God’s mark, we should press on to produce change in life to please Him.

    Introduction Israel lamented that God’s help was missing (7:1-2). They cried about it for 20 years (7:2). Yet, they never felt the need to do anything about it other than cry and be sad for their lack of spiritual happiness during all this time. After all, no one else was any closer to God. At ...read more

    We all face temptation, but God has promised that regardless of what the temptation may be that we face, He will make a way of escape. Temptation does not have to destroy us; we don’t have to fall into the trap of sin. WE CAN ESCAPE FROM TEMPTATION! #3

    THE GREAT ESCAPE – Escape From Temptation 1 Peter 2:16 INTRODUCTION: Temptation is a thread that joins us all together as human beings; temptation levels the playing field! We are all susceptible to its attraction, and we can all be equally devastated when we yield to its seduction. Some of the ...read more

    If you are in Christ, if you have repented and accepted Jesus as your Lord and Saviour then the Bible is clear about who you are. You are a Chosen Child of God. As children of God, we must dare to be different in our words, our deeds and our actions.

    We continue in our series Dare to be Different and this month our focus is different family. Its been a while but I want to start with a couple of questions: Do you know who you are? Do others know who you are? Maybe the questions seems a little odd... I mean each of us knows who we are don’t ...read more

    If someone asks me, "Why do you believe in God?" I don't necessarily say "I just have faith."

    If someone asks me, "Why do you believe in God?" I don't necessarily say "I just have faith." Many might say that. But for someone who asks that question, I need to know how to defend my faith. So my response is this: I think it's very reasonable to believe in God. ...read more

    A Lesson In Evangelism From Philip And The Ethiopian Eunuch

    Contributed by Paul Green on May 18, 2022
    based on 4 ratings
     | 9,231 views

    When Philip introduces the Ethopian Eunuch to Jesus – he does it God’s way. Philip wasn't an Apostle like Peter, a missionary like Paul, or a pastor like Timothy. He was a deacon, a servant of the church, an ordinary, average man who just couldn’t keep God to himself.

    There was a man on a business trip and when he checked in he was given one of the middle seats on the airplane. He was tired and he all he wanted to do was sleep, so he got a little bit irritated when the young girl sat next to him started to ask questions: “Mister, do you brush your teeth?” “Yes,” ...read more
