    I Am With You When You Are All Alone Series

    Contributed by Gordon Pike on Jul 26, 2020
     | 5,850 views

    The Bible is filled with the stories of flesh and blood people … frail human beings with ordinary human needs who face all of the same kinds of struggles and challenges that we face … which is why we can not only relate to Paul’s discouragement but can learn from his courage as well.

    I want to start out by reading an anonymous poem called “Friendship”: Friendship is a priceless gift that cannot be bought or sold But its value is far greater than a mountain of gold For gold is cold and lifeless It can neither see nor hear And in times of trouble it is powerless to cheer It has ...read more

    Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Jul 30, 2025
     | 145 views

    We have some insights into the problems Jeremiah faced with schemes against him from vindictive assailants. All day long he had to face their whispers and their hatred. Don’t confine this to Jeremiah because it is rapidly increasing against those who love their Lord. Perilous times are coming.

    THE BOOK OF LAMENTATIONS – PART 28 – PERSECUTION OF THE RIGHTEOUS WITH SCHEMES AND ACTIONS; WICKEDNESS HATES GOOD - CHAPTER 3:61-62 PART [56]. GOD AGAIN HAS HEARD {{Lamentations 3:61 “You have heard their reproach, O LORD, ALL THEIR SCHEMES AGAINST ME.”}} There is parallelism here with the ...read more

     | 1,000 views

    Jesus faced temptation in the wilderness after fasting for forty days. Each time Satan tempted Him, Jesus responded with scripture, choosing to rely on God alone. When we face testing in our own lives, we can stand firm in our faith and trust in God's provision.

    Imagine you're in the middle of a desert, no food, no water, and you've been there for 40 days. You're starving, thirsty, and all alone. Suddenly, a guy shows up offering you all the food and water you could ever want, but there's a catch. You have to do something that goes against everything you ...read more

    Fear is a giant that every believer will face, but as overcomers, we are called to face our giants, knowing that through God's strength, we can triumph. David confronted his fears and defeated Goliath, learning how we, too, can slay the giant of fear in our lives.

    Slaying the Giant of Fear! 1Samuel 17:1-11 Introduction: Israel had Giant Problems! Giant of Fear – Goliath!

     | 3,607 views

    David was anointed by Samuel as a boy but did not ascend the throne for another 25 years. He faced battles from his family, battles from his enemies, and battles from within. From each challenge he faced we learn that when the Battle is the LORD’s the victory is ours.

    1 Samuel 17:44-51 NKJV “The Battle is the LORD’s” June 4, 2023 Up to this point in history, God had ruled the nation, raising up judges as they were needed. This was how things operated all the way from the time of Moses through the days of the Prophet, Priest, and Judge Samuel. God warned them ...read more

    Dedication to the work of the Lord is not an option; it is a divine expectation. In a generation where many are lukewarm or distracted, God is raising committed vessels who will abound in His service with passion, endurance, and integrity.

    Today’s Scripture shows us how Nimrod, a type of Antichrist, unified humanity using all its knowledge, science and resources to establish a city. By the way… Nimrod’s leadership over the people in his day was the exact opposite of what God commanded.

    Turning Your Worst Experiences To Your Best Legacy

    God over-turned and overcame the opposition of the Jews and the Romans allowing Paul’s worst time to become His best enduring legacy. Challenge - Can we, like Paul trust and obey God even when our best efforts for Him seem to initially fail?

    Turning Your Worst Times to Your Best Legacy (Acts 22) We see a lot of reality shows on TV today but perhaps my favorite is Bridezilla. It amazes me how what should be the best time of a young woman’s life turns out to be her worst legacy. The show chronicles the life and experiences of young ...read more
