    Song Of Solomon Series

    Contributed by Roshelle Brenneise on Jun 18, 2021
     | 5,172 views

    Song of Solomon gives us a glimpse of the intimate relationship the God of the Universe desires to have with us.

    June 19, 2021 As we noted last week, Jewish Scholars believe that Solomon wrote “The Song” during his early life and marriage to his Egyptian Princess. For a long period of time, she was his only wife. It was an exclusive relationship. But why is this depth of intimacy found in Scripture? ...read more

    The Beatitudes Of Christ (Part 2) Series

     | 3,826 views

    While many of the blessings Jesus speaks of appear to be contradictions, we must remember that God’s economy is much different than ours. The world views blessings based upon circumstances or material possessions. The Lord speaks of blessing in regard to our relationship with Him.

    The Basis of Blessing (Part 2) Matthew 5: 3-12 Today I would like to continue our study on the passage that is commonly referred to as the Beatitudes. Remember this is a Latin term that literally means “happiness or bliss.” Our Lord uses the word blessed nine times in this discourse. He is clearly ...read more

     | 2,997 views

    We hear the word "repent" or "repentance" many times through scripture. But what does it really mean? Translated from the Hebrew word Teshuvah, we can dig deeper by understanding the root meaning of this Hebrew word.

     | 3,285 views

    But the keys are fasting and prayer. A desperate situation demands desperate measures of intensity, earnestness, and authority for prayer with fasting. Fasting breaks the bondage of sin and loosens the hold of bad habits and their rulership over your life.

    Theme: Perfect the Good Work Text: Philippians 1:1-11 Introduction to Lent: The word 'lent' refers to Springtime or spring.
