    David was a man who faced many trials in life, yet he seemed to have a confidence that few of us have. Where did it come from? Find out.

    October 17, 2004 Psalm 27 Of David. The LORD is my light and my salvation— whom shall I fear? The LORD is the stronghold of my life— of whom shall I be afraid? 2 When evil men advance against me to devour my flesh, when my enemies and my foes attack me, they will stumble and fall. 3 Though ...read more

     | 11,154 views

    John’s epistle has reminded us to exercise love (1 John 2:7–11)—the right kind of love. Now it warns us that there is a wrong kind of love, a love that God hates. This is love for what the Bible calls “the world.”

    The Test of Spiritual Maturity Scripture Reference: 1 John 2:12 – 17 Introduction A group of first-graders had just completed a tour of a hospital, and the nurse who had directed them was asking for questions. Immediately a hand went up. “How come the people who work here are always washing their ...read more

    “WHAT’S IN A NAME?” Exodus 3:14 “And God said to Moses, ‘I AM WHO I AM’, and He said, ‘Thus you shall say to the sons of Israel, ‘I AM as sent me to you’.’” I don’t know who first asked the question, ‘what’s in a name?’ I don’t remember ever hearing it as a quote from a book or anything. ...read more

    This is week two of the CSI series and we are looking at what we can learn from the slaying of Goliath.
