    Like many of us Jacob was not conscious of God’s presence in his life. Oh, he knew about God, he had worshiped with his dad – he even went through the hassle of stealing the birthright and blessing from his brother Esau. But he, like many of us, went abou

    based on 3 ratings
     | 18,093 views

    Missions didn’t begin with the Great Commission. Missions began with God. It beat first in His heart before it was ever breathed into His church. God now identifies the local church as the center for world evangelism thru loving service & giving.

    The Mission of God -Usually, when we think of missions we think of the Great Commission. But missions didn’t begin with the Great Commission. Missions began with God.

    God did not give up on Ahaz, despite his idolatry and unbelief. God came to him through prophet Isaiah, assuring him and urging him to trust Him.

It ends with an account on King Jotham of Judah. • Jotham did what was right in the eyes of the Lord but not perfectly because he did not remove the high places of ...read more

    Be Imitators Of God

     | 7,464 views

    To call for Christians to imitate, or live like, their God is just as needed now as it was 2,000 years ago.

    Ephesians 5:1 is rather plain, “Be imitators of God.” As God’s children, we have no higher calling or purpose in life than to be like of heavenly Father. The Way of Christ is designed to reproduce godliness in our lives and therefore mold us and shape us into the image of God. ...read more

    Peter's prejudicial sentiments lingering like a foul odor in his mind collided with God's grace. Only a fresh breath of God's grace, could clear the air, and open up the door to a world of Gentiles who were waiting to follow Christ.

    Unless you happen to be like the man who said: "I am not prejudiced, I hate everyone!" All of us if we are honest are prejudiced. When prejudice is in operation, it will always collide with God's grace.
