    Heed God's Counsel

    Contributed by Andrew Dixon on Nov 19, 2025
    based on 2 ratings
     | 148 views

    God counsels us through His Word, His people and through the promptings of the Holy Spirit. There are important lessons we can learn from Lot’s wife, Cain and Jehoshaphat on the consequences of disobedience to God’s counsel. Implicit obedience to the Lord is the secret to a life of peace.

    The key verse for today’s meditation is taken from Joshua 3:5, “Then Joshua said to the people, “Consecrate yourselves, for tomorrow the LORD will do wonders among you.”” (ESV) As Joshua led the people of Israel he admonished them that God was willing to do wonders amongst them, but that in order ...read more

    Can You Judge A Facebook By Its Cover? Series

    Contributed by Jeff Strite on Jun 11, 2012
    based on 165 ratings
     | 51,518 views

    Facebook is a social networking site where people tell us all about themselves. But the Bible tells us God has a "facebook" page on each of us. What's on that Facebook, and what can we do to make it more appealing?

    OPEN: How many of you do NOT use the internet (a few raised their hands). How many of you do NOT use Facebook (a significantly larger number raised their hands). Over the next few weeks we’re going to be talking about “Social Networking”, which is a term that describes how people ...read more

    The Father's Lavish Love

    Contributed by Matthew Stoll on Dec 9, 2008
     | 8,900 views

    To help us understand the love the Father has for us so we will receive it (become adopted as a child in the family), return it, and share it (with our children).

    I remember the pastor of our church sharing one time that becoming a father was the greatest help for his theology, that is, for his understanding of God. He knew up here [pointing to head] that God loved him, but when he had a child he began to understand more in here [heart] that God has the ...read more

    Encouragement Series

     | 20,734 views

    I suspect all of us can identify a Barnabas or two in our past who gave us a second chance. Maybe it was a parent or a relative or a teacher or a church leader or a close friend. Christianity means second chances.

    God wants to come to His world, but He wants to come to it through man. This is the mystery of our existence. He wants to come to this world through you. Proverbs 15:23 says, “A man has joy by an apt answer, and how delightful is a timely word.” I enjoyed a Charles Schulz cartoon ...read more

    The Babylonians tried to erase the identities of Daniel and his 3 friends from being believers in Jehovah. The world is trying to do that to Christians today. Young people must be instructed and equipped to stand for their faith like Daniel did.

Dan. 1:8-17 INTRODUCTION 8 But Daniel resolved not to defile himself with the royal food and wine, and he asked the chief official for permission not to defile himself this way….10 but the official told Daniel, “The king would then have my head because of you.” 11 Daniel then ...read more

    How Satan gained the power of death. What is death theologically? It’s separation. A separation from life on the earth, separation from relatives, friends, and all. Above all a separation from the living God forever.

    Text: Hebrews 2:14-18 Theme: Free from fear of Death Introduction: By the grace of God, we had meditations on the freedom concept. Freedom from sin, freedom from slavery, stress, and now we have come to freedom from fear of death. The word death is familiar to all faiths and religions. ...read more
