    Making a single nation out of a dozen tribes was not easy. Unity came hard for Israel; it also came for the United States. U.S. history may shed light on I Samuel’s story.

    based on 17 ratings
     | 3,993 views

    In the dim light of a Star and the witness of dreams wise men were guided by God to find and worship Jesus, how much more ought we who have the plain Word of God to do so!

    When God Speaks Through Dreams Matthew 2:13-23 What do you think about dreams? The Greek words for dream occur only 9 times in the New Testament; six times in Matthew, where every one of them has a message from God. Acts 2:17 and Jude 8 contain the other three. Acts speaks of the evidence of ...read more

    based on 4 ratings
     | 6,215 views

    Worry kills us, it destroys our joy and takes many things from our lives. Let’s study today what God’s word has to tell us in light of this.

    So what does God’s word tell us about this preoccupation many of us have with worrying? Therefore I say unto you, Take no thought for your life, what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink; nor yet for your body, what ye shall put on. Is not the life more than meat, and the body than raiment? ...read more

     | 8,593 views

    He used three earthly materials: Salt, Light and City, to explain spiritual truth by giving a clear distinction between the disciple and the world with regards to his position and mission (Mat 5:13-16).

    THE DISCIPLE AS THE SALT "Ye are the salt of the earth: but if the salt have lost his savor, wherewith shall it be salted? it is thenceforth good for nothing, but to be cast out, and to be trodden under, foot of men. Ye are the light of the world. A city that is set on an hill cannot be hid.’ ...read more

    A good word study not only increases your knowledge of God’s word, it opens your mind of faith to see the true (spiritual) light of God’s word, not the limited shadows that are left to the flesh.

    Hypocrisy

    Contributed by Lou Nicholes on Nov 19, 2004
    based on 7 ratings
     | 3,294 views

    It seems that this passage describes God’s indictment of all hypocrites, regardless of race or religion, culture or creed. Both Jews and Gentiles are included in this discussion, but the Gentile often appears in a better light than the Jew.

    THOUGHTS ABOUT THE PASSAGE: Despite the mind-numbing brutality of the Joseph Stalin regime in the Soviet Union, his propaganda machine did its job well. Many Russians hailed him as a hero and a savior, including a young school girl who was chosen on one occasion to greet Stalin. Years later, this ...read more

    The first lesson in this two lesson series took a look at our "free" gift from God and what it provides. In light of the gift we as Christians are challenged to share what we have been given.

    This morning we began our study on “Our Gift…from God!” by identifying His gift to all mankind – once applied to our lives Jesus blood provides: • Justification…(Romans 5:16-17) • Sanctification…(1 Cor. 6:9-11) • Preservation…(John 10:28-29) • Identification…(1 John 3:1; Rev. ...read more

     | 6,020 views

    Herod was among the first few to hear the Christmas message, but he was too bent on doing his own will, too wrapped up in himself, and too caught up by power and control, to see the light.

    Matthew reminds us that Jesus did not enter the world with sparkling lights and soothing carols. • Jesus along with his family begins his life as a refugee in need of asylum. • King Herod was part of the backdrop of this first Christmas play, together with the singing angels, the happy shepherds ...read more
