     | 3,900 views

    In this exposition of Jesus's 8th Beatitude ("Blessed are those who are persecuted for righteousness' sake"), we explore biblical revelation as to why persecution is a blessing, more specifically, what are the benefits of persecution for God's people.

    Intro We are considering the 8th Beatitude in Matthew 5:10: “Blessed are those who are persecuted for righteousness' sake, For theirs is the kingdom of heaven.” Persecution is a major theme in Scripture. We see it in the first family; it runs all through the Old and New Testaments; and in the ...read more

    We’ve been called to the adventure. We’re on our spiritual journey. Last week we talked about the moment of clarity, where we realize a profound truth, that God is real.

    "Dear friends, do not be surprised at the fiery ordeal that has come on you to test you, as though something strange were happening to you. 13 But rejoice inasmuch as you participate in the sufferings of Christ, so that you may be overjoyed when his glory is revealed. 14 If you are insulted ...read more

    Jesus says, “I offer fulfillment. I will give you such a lasting, inner joy that you will willingly take persecution for being associated with my name.” This is eternal fulfillment that is rugged enough to handle anything thrown at it.

    Memorial Day Of all the rich blessings we have from being Americans, the choicest of them is freedom of religion.

    God opens the windows of heaven on our behalf. He has already done that on two major occasions and some day He is going to open the windows again.

    The Windows of Heaven Malachi 3: 10-12 I LIKE WINDOWS. I wouldn’t live in a house without many of them. I wouldn’t want to work in an office or factory without them. Windows have two primary functions: to let light in and to let those who are inside see out. When I was a boy in grade ...read more

    We have all heard it said: “Ignorance is bliss.” If that were true, I should be experiencing a lot more bliss in my life than I am, Amen? When it comes to Mary, the mother of Jesus, however, I wouldn’t say that ignorance is bliss but I would say that innocence is

    God's Formula For Success

    based on 1 rating
     | 8,840 views

    When we try to live without consulting God’s word, It’s a deliberate, voluntary ignorance. But this ignorance won’t stop us from suffering the consequences for being stupid. The wisdom we need is available.It’s about letting God’s word saturate our spirit.

    There is a common desire inside everyone to want to succeed • Because we measure our worth on the basis of how successful we are. • How we measure that success is often based on a worldly standard rather than a godly standard. • Success by the world’s standard often means ...read more

    based on 1 rating
     | 9,762 views

    To be a follower of Christ is almost certain to be costly. Many turn from following Christ because they fear what it may cost. They are willing to be religious, but hesitate to embrace discipleship. We are called to embrace dangerous discipleship.

    “When the large crowd of the Jews learned that Jesus was there, they came, not only on account of him but also to see Lazarus, whom he had raised from the dead. So, the chief priests made plans to put Lazarus to death as well, because on account of him many of the Jews were going away and ...read more

    The Pain That Produces Peace: God’s Loving Discipline In The Life Of A Disciple Series

    Contributed by Dean Courtier on Feb 19, 2026
    based on 1 rating
     | 164 views

    We live in a comfort-driven culture. Everything in the 21st century whispers, “Avoid pain. Escape discomfort. Protect your preferences.” Yet Scripture speaks a very different language. The Bible tells us that pain, in the hands of a loving Father, is not pointless—it is productive.

    The Pain That Produces Peace: God’s Loving Discipline in the Life of a Disciple Introduction: When It Hurts Let me begin with a simple, honest truth: following Jesus is glorious—but it is not always easy. We live in a comfort-driven culture. Everything in the 21st century whispers, “Avoid pain. ...read more

     | 10,461 views

    My friend Nigel (who is not a Christian) once said that that when Christians speak about God, he can feel like a primitive tribesman who suddenly encounters New York City - he just can’t get his head around it. If we want to begin to get our head around God, what one thing should we do more of?

    Moses climbs up Mount Sinai - up THAT mountain- and disappears into the cloud at the top, the cloud that somehow represents the presence of God. There he stays for forty days in that haze, time apart in the presence of God receiving from God the ten commandments and other laws and teachings for ...read more
