    Wrestles With God

    Contributed by Christian Cheong on May 31, 2006
    based on 26 ratings

    The whole experience of PRAYER is not to wrestle with God over our demands, but to know the heart of the One who seek to bless us and call us to a higher purpose in life, and help us understand our utter dependence on Him for success.

    This picture of Jacob wrestling with a God-man can be considered as one of the most bizarre encounter in the Bible. • He was all alone, having sent his family and all his possessions across the stream. • It was in the night, and he wrestled with this God-man until daybreak. Many see him as a hero ...read more

    A reflection on the imagery of Psalm 23

    Psalm 23 Upon reading Psalm 23 (The NIV Study Bible) and reflecting upon the imagery found within the verses my thoughts immediately turned to King David. I thought not only of David as a young shepherd but my thoughts turned to the time of Absolom’s rebellion. I can see in my mind’ ...read more

    As believers, we are called to let God's light shine through us, stepping into the realm of the impossible and bringing glory to our heavenly Father.

    Good morning, beloved family. Today, we're going to dive into a profound conversation about light, both the light that God created and the light He calls us to be. We'll be looking at two key passages of Scripture: Genesis 1:16-18 and Matthew 5:16. Genesis 1:16-18 says, "God made two great ...read more

    Holiness Is A Matter Of The Heart

    Contributed by Donnie Martin on Jun 1, 2002
    based on 41 ratings
     | 8,268 views

    Holiness is more than merely a matter of religious activities. God is not near as concerned with our methods of ministry as He is our motives of ministry. That’s because God is not so concerned with the surface of man as He is with the spirit of man.

    Holiness Is A Matter Of The Heart Text: Eph.6: 6; Mark 7: 18-19a Intro: It is absolutely impossible to become a Christian without a change of heart. Everything about trusting Christ as ones Savior affects the heart. If there has been no change of heart, there has been no conversion. Just ...read more

    Both John the Baptist and Jesus preached the good news of the kingdom of God. What was this good news? That the kingdom of God is near! As I discovered this I realized, wow there is something really important about this kingdom! Looking further in the New

    Where is this kingdom? Part 1 Text: Matt 13:10-17 (NIV) 10 The disciples came to him and asked, "Why do you speak to the people in parables?" 11 He replied, "The knowledge of the secrets of the kingdom of heaven has been given to you, but not to them. 12 Whoever has will be given more, and he ...read more

    At the end of this age and the beginning of the next, God will establish His eternal Kingdom ... we live between two worlds- one trying to crash in on the other.

    The Kingdom of God The Kingdom of God is … that place where God’s authority is acknowledged and obeyed, where God or Christ rules and has the final say in the human heart.

     | 4,595 views

    This is a sermon that I delivered at a Church Picnic. It is about finding God in the love of a friend and letting others find God in you.

    Finding God, Isaiah 55:6 Introduction I heard a story recently about a man who was playing hide and seek with his two year old daughter. They were upstairs in his house and the little girl had decided to hide into one of those closets with the folding doors. When he called, “Where’s Shelley?” ...read more

    The Throne Of God Series

     | 13,569 views

    This message takes a look at the two throne scenes before God. One for the righteous and the other for the unbeliever. These passages are rich with symbolism and truth.

    The Throne of God There are two major events surrounding the throne of God in the book of Revelations. Revelation 4 describes the throne of hope and chapter 20 describes the throne of judgement. I want to use this study to examine these two images of God’s throne. Lets begin by looking at ...read more

    The Weakness Of God

    Contributed by Rodney Buchanan on May 27, 2009

     | 8,490 views

    The current church seems so obsessed with the power of God. What kind of power is it? Is it after all a power that comes from weakness?

    It has been my habit for many years to read through the Bible each year. As I continue this practice I am increasingly amazed at how absurd God’s plan for the world and his kingdom is — that is, in human terms. God seems to delight in abuse and rejection, for he receives plenty of it. He seems, ...read more
