Daily Living In Divine Health

Contributed by James Snyder on Feb 18, 2013

Walking in divine health is a daily discipline focused on Jesus Christ our healer.

Our health is something we deal with every day of our life. Our health determines what we do or do not do on any given day. It is the most significant aspect of our life. If you have your health, nothing else really matters that much. Some today do not believe healing is for our day. They ...read more

The Goodness of God Romans 8:28 Watch: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Leamg-1uwvw As I was thinking about the God’s overriding goodness, my mind went to the story of Jonah, and that’s because God’s goodness is the central theme of the story, not Jonah’s disobedience, nor the Ninevite’s ...read more

Fear Or Faith Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Mar 27, 2021

The unknown can stimulate either fear or faith, courage or cowardice. By the authority of Jesus the Christian is to choose faith, even in the face of negative evidence.

The Golden Gate Bridge in California got way behind schedule when it was being built. There were so many casualties, and the men were afraid of falling off. A huge safety net was placed beneath the area of operations, but for a time this made no difference. Then a man fell off into the net. When ...read more

The Stubborn Evangelist: Part 4 Series

Contributed by Scott Maze on May 24, 2021

Are you eager that others enjoy God’s mercy? My desire is to stir inside you a strong motivation to extend God’s mercy and kindness to others. In essence, don’t be like Jonah. Remember what Jonah is really about – first experiencing God’s mercy and then extending God’s mercy.

Today we conclude a four part series entitled Jonah: The Stubborn Evangelist. Jonah is also a man on the run from his responsibility – to share the message of God’s mercy to others. And this is what Jonah is really about – first experiencing God’s mercy and then extending God’s mercy. And it’s just ...read more

The Book Of Ruth (1 Of 4)

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Apr 14, 2022

In this scripture passage, I want to show you a family that lived among God’s people, and then due to some hard times, they packed up and moved to Moab.

You might be saying, “So what!” people move from one city to another all the time! That is correct, but anytime we find something in the Word of God, it is there for a reason. WHAT IS THE REASON GOD PUT THIS FAMILY IN THE SCRIPTURES? God placed them in the holy scriptures that we might learn ...read more

Life In The Word

Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Jan 28, 2022

If we fail to read and observe what is written in the Scripture, then we will be devoid of abundant life. We find life in the Word because the Word leads to Jesus, and it leads to spiritual freedom in Christ through the indwelling Holy Spirit.

I wish to begin our message this morning by sharing some verses out of Deuteronomy 28. In Deuteronomy 28:66-67, God gives a warning to His people, saying, “Your life shall hang in doubt before you; you shall fear day and night, and have no assurance of life. In the morning you shall say, ‘Oh, ...read more

Let Me Have A Double Portion

Contributed by Dr. Jwt Spies on Jul 30, 2022

Looking for God to do more in our lives

We find here a miraculous part of history. It is the story of Elijah being taken up into glory on one of God’s fiery chariots and the transference of power and authority from one generation to the next generation. And here God is unmistakably teaching a lesson not only to Elisha but to us today. ...read more

Peace Work Series

Contributed by Alison Bucklin on Nov 24, 2022

God’s peace is not the same as the world’s peace - even though people filled with God’s peace DO bring peace to the world.

We human beings are not naturally peacemakers. On the contrary: we’re naturally trouble-makers. A few years ago a group of people tried walking across America on a mission of peace. They couldn't get along and divided into two groups by the time they were half way across. According to the ...read more

Contrasting Christmases

Contributed by Dennis Lee on Dec 20, 2022

This message reveals a contrast seen within the Christmas story, a contrast between those who are ready and willing to receive the good news, like the shepherds and the Magi, or Wise Men, and those who are not, like King Herod and the religious leaders of that day. Come and See.

Contrasting Christmases Psalm 1; Luke 2; Matthew 2 Someone has said that life is full of contrasts, and as far as I can determine, they are right. But most of these contrasts are self-determined. Psalm chapter one deals with the main contrast, the one that determines all the rest. It involves the ...read more

Jonah - A Case Study In Anger And Suicide

Contributed by Bruce Morrison on Oct 27, 2003

The Book of Jonah is the story of a man whose greatest struggles were not with a big fish or a pagan city - they were battles within his own heart.

We are first introduced to Jonah the prophet in the Book of Second Kings. "In the fifteenth year of Amaziah son of Joash king of Judah, Jeroboam son of Jehoash king of Israel became king in Samaria, and he reigned forty-one years. 24 He did evil in the eyes of the LORD and did not turn away from ...read more
