Davids Big Flaw

Contributed by Art Campbell on Sep 5, 2007

David was a successful man - a warrior, poet and king. Yet he had one major flaw that was almost his undoing - his children. This message contrasts David’s great success with his great heartache.

In many ways he’s the kind of man that many of us guys would like to be. David was marked out for ...read more

Trusts In The Lord

Contributed by Christian Cheong on Aug 5, 2009

Blessed is the man who trusts in the Lord. By God’s grace, we experience His provision and constant help.

The prophet Jeremiah uses two contrasting pictures here to encourage us. • He paints for us two pictures that are very different – a dried up bush and an ever-green tree. • Jeremiah is contrasting two different types of people - "the one who trusts in man" (v.5), who he says will be like a bush in ...read more

It was only with a shepherd’s staff that Moses parted the waters of a great sea, that he commanded natural disasters and demanded water from a rock. It was in the great lesson of a simple stick that when anything is given to God it wields mighty power!
