     | 348 views

    Some people despise wisdom, but those who fear the Lord will find it. To fear the Lord, we must understand our position before Him. This leads to wisdom.

    Today, we're gonna talk about the right attitude to have when looking for wisdom. This attitude is often called the fear of the Lord. Imagine you're panning for gold. You're sifting through dirt and rocks, hoping to find that shiny nugget. But what if you mistake fool's gold for the real thing? It ...read more

    This message shows the gaps that are in the hedge or defense around the nation, based upon the gaps in the defenses around Jerusalem. This message shows the need for men and women of God to take a stand and call sin, sin.

    The Hedge of God Ezekiel 22.23-31 (text—30) The main aspect of the ministry of Ezekiel was that of exposing the sins, the immorality, and the injustice of the people where he lived. This is not a very enviable assignment for a servant of God. We need Ezekiel’s today! We need men and women of ...read more

    We should expect to be healed because God is a healing God, the Garden of Eden shows God's perfect will is no sickness, Christ atoned for our healing, and Jesus regularly healed the sick and called others to do the same.

    Forgiveness is one of the most difficult aspects in Christian living because pride and resentment step in the way. We look at the sadness in Nigeria in 2013 and consider 8 points related to forgiveness and then at what forgiveness is, and is not.

EIGHT POINTS CONNECTED WITH FORGIVENESS FOR OUR ASSURANCE INTRODUCTION TO FORGIVENESS To begin, I am going to paste here a parable the Lord gave, all related to forgiveness.

    Sermon # 47 - Avoid The Hot East Wind Series

    Contributed by Andrew Dixon on Feb 10, 2025
    based on 1 rating
     | 358 views

    God sent the hot east wind to rebuke the prophet Jonah. If we want to avoid the hot east wind from blowing over our lives we must set aside pride and disobedience and live in humility and obedience to the sovereign Lord.

    Our meditation is based on Jonah 4:8, “After the sun had risen, God sent a hot east wind, and Jonah was about to faint from the heat of the sun beating down on his head. So he wished he were dead. "I am better off dead than alive," he said.” (GNB) Jonah was a prophet of God who preached ...read more

    Are you in His will?

    The Will of God We have made the will of God into something mystical and foggy. Therefore we are always looking for it, guessing about it, worrying that we missed, etc. I believe that we miss the specific will of God in our lives because we are ignorant or disobedient to His general will.
