     | 10,216 views

    A practical challenge to trust Jesus. You don't have to have all the answers and the crowd around Jesus may be a little goofy, but perhaps He really can do what He says He can do. Cry out to Him!

    How Blind Beggars Get Healed Shall we stand for the reading of the Word . . . Mark 10 (NKJV) . . . 46 Now they came to Jericho. As He went out of Jericho with His disciples and a great multitude, blind Bartimaeus, the son of Timaeus, sat by the road begging. 47 And when he heard that it was ...read more

    LIFE WILL THROW MANY CHALLENGES OUR WAY, BUT THE TASK AT HAND IS TO NOT GET SIDETRACKED. JESUS WAS CONFRONTED BY A GROUP OF PHARISEES TRYING TO DERAIL HIM OF HIS PURPOSE, BUT HE EXEMPLIFIES HOW TO PRESS FORWARD.

    Funeral message for Launer Jones: Help comes from hope, not fear. Life comes from trust, not anxiety. A concerned family who did all they could turned to Jesus, and He will not disappoint.

    It might have been a cold, gray morning, that day when Jairus did what a desperate father had to do. A cold, gray morning, made all the more bleak because a little girl lay dying. Only twelve years old she was, full of promise, full of life, the apple of her father’s eye, and so much in love with ...read more

    based on 28 ratings
     | 3,857 views

    Hostility comes from the obsessed, self-absorbed heart, and often offers permission for random acts of violence. Jesus got real with His enemies by naming their madness but trusting His own defense to God.

    Stress strengthens. That is a physical fact. It is also a spiritual truth. Stress strengthens us. When we face opposition, we grow. When we deal with differences, we become stronger than we were. Strange as it may seem, and unpleasant though it may feel, give thanks when you ...read more

    Today many Christians are "mentally unprepared" to enter their Promised Land and receive the inheritance their Father gave them before the foundation of the world. Joshua ! gives an O.T. example of what is expected of us in the N.T,

    Many Christians, including me, are not walking in the place where God can work through them to enforce what Jesus has already obtained for us – total and complete victory over Satan and his demonic kingdom. One of the primary reasons why we are not “doing the works Jesus did” – and I’m not even ...read more

    Jesus understands us as we are, but loves us into what we may become. With Peter, he loved the Type A person; with James, the passive-aggressive; with John, the immature -- all into effectiveness. Montgomery Hills Baptist Church

    History is full of stories of betrayal. Those who look like friends sometimes turn on you.

    Opposition actually helps us grow. Hostility is destructive not only of others, but also of one’s self; and it spreads without reason. Jesus named its absurdity and then left it in the hands of God. Montgomery Hills Baptist Church
