God Trains My Hands For Battle

Contributed by Bala Samson on Aug 23, 2018

Today I am talking about spiritually strong hands: hands that carry the Bible to church, hands that hold the Bible painstakingly for hours and read the Bible, hands that stretch out to heaven and pray, hands that help the servants of God, hands that work hard and supports the work of God etc.

God trains my hands for battle 2 Samuel 22:35 "He trains my hands for battle, So that my arms can bend a bow of bronze.” What is the meaning of training? Training is the process of learning the skills that you need for a particular job or activity. I got to go from basics, so that you understand ...read more

Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Oct 13, 2023

This bigger article looks at recompense for evil done and Jeremiah is featured. Then we look at the whole of Babylon from being God’s servant to being destroyed themselves for what they did to Judah. Anyone who lifts up a hand against Israel or God’s Christians will face retribution.

Making The Impossible Possible

Contributed by Brian Williams on Jan 24, 2023

Because of the work of the suffering servant, we don’t have to live empty, barren, unfruitful lives anymore. We can rejoice because we have everything necessary for a dynamic spiritual life and godliness through the true and personal knowledge of the One who called us to Himself.

Now, here we are at the beginning of the year 2023. Even though we have no idea what this year holds for us, I know that God wants us to grow deeper in our relationship with Him and take steps of faith to trust Him for even greater things, to watch Him take seemingly impossible situations and make ...read more

God Of Salvation

Contributed by Simon Bartlett on Jul 11, 2021

God wanted to spare the people of Nineveh. He didn't want them to face his judgement. But first, he had to save his servant Jonah. Being inside a big fish in the depths of the sea wasn't Jonah's real problem.

Today we’re continuing our series in Jonah. My first talk was titled ‘God of compassion’. Nineveh, the capital of Assyria, was wicked. God described it as wicked and historians tell us that Assyria was wicked. It wasn’t just a little bit wicked. One historian of the Middle East wrote that ...read more

The Songs Of Ascent – Part 15 – Psalm 131 – Resting In Contentment And The Hope Of Israel – Hope In The Lord Series

Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Feb 8, 2024

Some churches run so many activities that some servants are just worn out. We need more exits and “coming aside to rest” for contentment. Remember activities in the Lord’s name could be a barrier that stops us knowing Jesus better! We look at hope in Israel.

Straight Talk About Crooked Teachers Series

Contributed by David Dykes on Aug 12, 2010

Paul presents several pictures of how we can be deceived by false teaching. Just as Eve was deceived, so may we be deceived. Don’t expect to see Satan as some hideous monster, he and his servants may fool you with their masquerade, stay connected to those

Just Do It! Series

Contributed by David Smith on Oct 10, 2010

..."Will any one of you who has a servant ploughing or keeping sheep say to him when he has come in from the field, 'Come at once and recline at table'? Will he not rather say to him, 'Prepare supper for me, and dress properly, and serve me while I eat an

Are You The King Of The Jews?

Contributed by Paul Green on Nov 27, 2021

Jesus was the King who never looked like a King, the King who never acted like a king – at least not in the way the world understands royalty. He came the first time, 2000 years ago, as the servant king, and he is coming again, in power and in glory, as the king over all kings.

Today is the last Sunday of the Christian year, traditionally recognised as ‘The Feast of Christ the King’. Next week is Advent - the start of a new Christian year, but today we conclude the old ecclesiastical year with a proclamation of the kingship of Christ. ‘The Feast of Christ the King’ is a ...read more

Lessons Learned Series

Contributed by David Moore on Aug 3, 2004

The hardest lesson I have ever had to learn was that I am not in control of my life. And it is a lesson I have to learn over and over, it seems like each day I have to learn again that my life is not my own, but rather, I am a servant of the Master. God w

A Picture Of Jesus

Contributed by Chris Beam on Sep 26, 2015

The title, "Revelation", is taken from the very first verse of the first chapter: "The Revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave Him to show to his servants..." (Rev. 1:1). Now, what do you do when something’s revealed to you? You LOOK at it.

A PICTURE OF JESUS Revelation 1:9-20 There’s an old saying that says, "A picture is worth a thousand words." I think that’s pretty accurate; Jesus seems to have thought so too. His favorite method of teaching was in parables - vivid, illustrative word pictures that helped his audience ...read more

See Jesus’ Response To Unbelief!

Contributed by Michael Otterstatter on Jul 19, 2023

What is your favorite picture of Jesus? Most artists have portrayed Jesus as kind and gentle, or as God’s suffering servant. In the Gospel Lesson for today we have an example of a time when Jesus’ face most certainly didn’t look the way artists most often picture him.

What is your favorite picture of Jesus? If you were to close your eyes and bring to mind your best loved drawing or painting of Jesus, which one would it be? Perhaps you would recall one the many images showing Jesus as the Good Shepherd. That has been a favorite among Christians for ...read more
