    Contributed by Amiri Hooker on Feb 25, 2023
     | 2,875 views

    Intro: If Black America endeavor to work in the world around us, we will fall. From time to time, we will fail; our efforts will not be received in the spirit intended; the fruit of Black History has been slow in coming. So, if we must fall, let us fall down in worship of the one who redeems us.

    Matthew 4:1-11 The Message (The Test) 4 1-3 Next Jesus was taken into the wild by the Spirit for the Test. The Devil was ready to give it.

    Without the Cross there is no salvation for any one of us, bitten as we are by the sting of death which is sin.

    Friends, this is where we find our joy everyday not just at Christmas. We find our joy in trusting God at His word and in trusting God to intervene in our lives when He wants and with whatever He wants.

    The Virgins Joy Luke 1:26-56 During the Christmas season how, why, when, where and to whom we express our joy can cover a lot of territory. It really depends on what kind of joy we are expressing and what has motivated the outpouring of our joy. We might be really joyful to discover that we ...read more

    GIVE EAR, O SHEPHERD OF ISRAEL. Psalm 80:1-7; Psalm 80:17-19. Belief in the God of Israel is not blind faith, but an informed trust.

    Job faced struggles and pain in life that most will never encounter, at least in that magnitude. No doubt, he had more questions than answers. However, in the midst of his uncertainty, there were e few things of significance that Job knew without doubt.

    I know my Redeemer Lives Job 19: 25-27 Job is an interesting and somewhat mysterious character in the Bible. While most Bible readers are familiar with Job and the great trials he faced in life, little is known about his background. He is believed to have lived around the time of Abraham, with the ...read more
