    Working Together

    Contributed by Greg Nance on Sep 12, 2013
     | 11,088 views

    Why did God create us? Why does He call us together in Christ? We all know we are saved through Jesus Christ, but for what purpose? God answers that clearly in Ephesians 4:11-16. From creation to Christ we are called together to serve.

    The text for our topic of today (we begin our relationship with each other) is from Genesis 2:18 (And Ephesians 4:11-16) The Lord God said, “It is not good for the man to be alone, I will make a helper suitable for him.” God had created everything in order and after each creation ...read more

    The Helmet Of Salvation Series

    Contributed by Robert Leroe on Nov 16, 2014
    based on 4 ratings
     | 7,127 views

    The helmet is a metaphor for protecting the mind. The Apostle Paul wants us to guard our thoughts. If the devil can tamper with our thoughts, he can meddle with our lives. How we perceive Christ and His teachings affects all of life.

    While conducting a raid in the Helmand Province of Afghanistan, a US Marine platoon received incoming sniper fire. One of the Marines was struck in the head and the bullet bounced off his Kevlar helmet. He assured his fellow Marines he was unhurt except for some ringing in his ears, and they ...read more

    There are times when life drives us to the cave. It is not a matter of if, but when. More important, is the dilema of you getting out of the cave in proper time.

    CAVES Ps. 57:1-3,7 1 ¶ <<To the chief Musician, Altaschith, Michtam of David, when he fled from Saul in the cave.>> Be merciful unto me, O God, be merciful unto me: for my soul trusteth in thee: yea, in the shadow of thy wings will I make my refuge, until these calamities be overpast.

    We should be grateful for God’s earthly, physical blessings and protection, but we should be even more grateful for the eternal blessings he gives us.

    An Eternal Weight of Glory (2 Corinthians 4:7-18 with Psalm 116) My view is that 2 Corinthians 4:7-18 is based on Psalm 116 (the 2 Cor. passage is a midrash). See if you agree. The “starting text,” Psalm 116:3-19 3 The snares of death encompassed me; the pangs of Sheol laid hold ...read more
