     | 6,766 views

    Why should we seek God, His Kingdom, His righteousness, and His provision? We seek God through His Word, Prayer, Fellowship, and Worship. We seek God first, for He being our Father, is our ever-present loving provider who knows all your needs.

    You know, people fall in love, have children, celebrate birthdays, take trips and sit on the porch on summer evenings, while listening to crickets. But inevitably, and to everyone, problems do come. Relationships flounder, jobs are lost, money gets tight, kids rebel, and through it all, even in the ...read more

    Because Abel believed, he offered a better sacrifice; because he offered a better sacrifice, he obtained righteousness; because he obtained righteousness, he is for all the ages a living voice saying, "Righteousness is by faith."

    [The outline was borrowed from John MacArthur’s Hebrews commentary.] Hebrews 11:4—“By faith Abel offered unto God a more excellent sacrifice than Cain, by which he obtained witness that he was righteous, God testifying of his gifts: and by it HE BEING DEATH YET SPEAKETH.” James Moffatt wrote, ...read more

    It seems that in the church today we hear less and less about the blood of Christ, why it was necessary for Him to die and what it means to our eternal destiny.

    This past Thursday was the Fourth of July, Independence Day in the old US of A! Fireworks! Parades! A National Holiday! Independence from the will and domination of an earthly king! But, what was the price of this freedom. The lives of countless people. The shedding of blood for the cause of ...read more

    Thanks-Living Pt 1

    Contributed by Chris Mccall on Nov 21, 2012
     | 3,725 views

    A living sacrifice is different from all other sacrifice. A regular sacrifice would require something to die. Paul is appealing to us to offer this sacrifice that would continue to be very much alive, but surrendered or dedicated to the service of God.

    We find the Apostle Paul appealing to all those who have experienced the mercy, love, & goodness of God. It is kind of like the “give-back program” because of all that has been done already for us. I want us to consider, during this holiday season of Thanksgiving, the idea Paul is ...read more

    Those who call themselves Christian today often seek an experience rather than seeking God. An experience can be had quickly on Sunday morning, seeking God requires great sacrifice.

O God, you are my God; earnestly I seek you; my soul thirsts for you; my flesh faints for you, as in a dry and weary land where there is no water. B. We should seek God early or ...read more
