Make Me A Blessing (1 Of 3)

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Aug 8, 2024

In I Timothy 6:1-12 we do not have to do any surmising when it comes to who Paul was addressing in this passage of scriptures. Although we know the letter is addressed specifically to young Timothy, yet it is clear, the thing he has to say in this passage of scripture is to the MAN OF GOD

Look at verse 11. We read, “But thou, O MAN OF GOD...” To be referred to as a “man of God,” or a “woman of God,” is one of the greatest titles that could be given to any Christian. (1) The term MAN OF GOD is often given to MINISTERS of the gospel. (2) Also, the clergyman is called THE MAN ...read more

Got Grace? - 2 Peter 1:1-2 Series

Contributed by Darrell Ferguson on Nov 10, 2024

The Holy Spirit inspired them to say some form of “Grace to you” 31 times in the NT. If it’s that important for us to get more grace, why do we so seldom ask God for more grace in our prayers for ourselves and others? This message aims to open your eyes to the astonishing value of grace.

And other times people who never really seem to have it all together, end up beating the odds, and actually make something of themselves. For instance, ...read more
