    Consolation In Christ

    Contributed by Larry Grant on Aug 1, 2022

     | 2,153 views

    Paul’s point is that our own sufferings enable us to identify with those who suffer—and enable them to identify with us. Then they will sense the reality of the comfort we have received from God and find their own comfort in Him. The principle is important. Ministry requires vulnerability.

    Consolation – Relief or Support. As nouns the difference between consolation and comfort is that consolation is the act of consoling while comfort is the state of ease. Bless Him because He is God! You find this phrase “blessed be God” in two other places in the New Testament, in Ephesians 1:3 and ...read more

    Part II in a series on the book of Jonah

    As we begin looking toward our mission conference in a couple of months, I want to share some thoughts with you from the book of Jonah – a prophet who ran from God to avoid carrying a divine warning to the people of Nineveh. Jonah undoubtedly feared the bloodthirsty Ninevites, but in ...read more

    Transformed By Christ

    Many people who do not know the way to salvation are kept from hearing the gospel because of the prejudice of certain believers. As God's people, we need to be renewed by Christ so we can love people as God loves people.

    “TRANSFORMED BY CHRIST” ACTS 10:24-48 This Summer, we have watched the early church grow from its birth on the Day of Pentecost when 3,000 people were saved. In Acts 4, 5,000 more people come to faith in Christ as Savior as the church enjoys its fellowship together. But, then come trouble. One ...read more

    For those who are alive at the start of the Millennium, they are ones who will have lived through the cataclysmic events of the return of Jesus Christ—called the “day of the Lord” in the Bible. Their physical lives will continue as the Kingdom of God is established here on earth

    1st Thessalonians 4:9-18 offers words of fraternal love and how we should work towards an orderly life while awaiting Christ's return. “But concerning brotherly love, you have no need that I should write to you, for you yourselves are taught by God to love one another; and indeed you do so ...read more

    Paul would know no one but Jesus! There's no one greater to know, no one loves us as much, only He can save us, He's the only way to heaven, and He's God's only choice to redeem the world. Who is this Jesus to YOU?

    NOTHING BUT CHRIST 1 Cor. 2:1-2 INTRODUCTION A. HUMOR 1. An avid golfer told his wife he might have give up golfing. “Why?” she said. “Because I can’t see where the ball lands, and so, I can’t find my golf balls.” “Well, why don’t you take Uncle George with you; he’s got good eyesight.” “Are you ...read more

    Jesus is no mirage, and His resurrection proves it. Jesus gives us the living water of life. He is the oasis that replaces the mirages of this world. Therefore, let's quit falling for the fake, and start living the truth of God through Christ Jesus our Lord.
