    The tongue is a destructive force that can spew the stench of a rotten heart, but we are called to speak only what is constructive to others. We need to be thinking about our words and changing our attitudes about people while God transforms our lives.

    More Than G P S (Free Will In God’s Plan)

    Contributed by David Dunn on Sep 10, 2025
     | 122 views

    God lovingly planned salvation for everyone in Christ but never forces anyone’s choice. "More Than GPS" shows that His foreknowledge guides without controlling, calling us to live assured and freely abide in Jesus.

    Preface: This message explores the biblical theme of God’s plan and human freedom from a Seventh-day Adventist perspective. Christians across history have understood predestination and salvation security in different ways. The aim here is not debate but encouragement—helping all who read or ...read more

    I would like to propose to you that walking in step with the Holy Spirit produces the lovely things of God, which everyone can choose to enjoy. Therefore, it is worthwhile to take time to gain a Biblical understanding of the nine fruit offered to every born again Christian.

    Title: His Desired Fruit Theme: Fruit of the Holy Spirit Introduction: Jesus said, "This is to My Father's glory, that you bear much fruit, showing yourselves to be My disciples." (John 15:8) Considering how these are the very words spoken by Jesus Christ. Christians, longing to please the ...read more

     | 16,141 views

    The grace of God is always present and always sufficient, but sometimes we forget our need for his grace and we do not rediscover it until we are faced with circumstances beyond our control.

    2 Co 12:6-10 Vs 9 (My Grace is sufficient for thee, and my strength is made perfect in weakness) I believe that we in America are in a time of rediscovery Discover: Find, To see, to recognize.

    Our Heavenly Father

    When we pray, we see the Father’s love (the basis of our prayer), the Father’s control (our assurance), and the Father’s heart (our goal in life).

    The Lord’s Prayer we recite is a prayer Jesus taught His disciples. • It is not His prayer to God but a prayer meant for us. • Jesus need not have to pray “forgive us our sins” for He had no sins. In the Scriptures, the longest prayer of Jesus is found in John 17. • This prayer was made just ...read more

    Holy Spirit Love For All

     | 4,410 views

    Saints do not let anyone tell you that you are a second class Christian because you do not speak in tongues or walk on fire or survive snake bites. Such testing and qualifying today is not of the Spirit but is of men not God. Without love I am nothing.

    Holy Spirit Love for All 1 Corinthians 12:4-11 Acts 10:44-48 Have you ever noticed that this Christian life does not always go according to the script that you and I think it should follow?

    Paul expected all of his congregations to listen to their minds and order their hearts in the right way. He told the folks at Thessalonika that they had no need for anyone to write them about loving their neighbor.

    Saturday of the 21st Week in Course 2023 Ordinarily we tend to associate St. Paul’s teachings on chastity and lust with the letters to the Corinthians. But that’s shortsighted.

    It is important that we share your faith because God controls our resources, relationships and reactions.

    WHY DO WE GO? In the Spring of 1940, Hitler’s panzer divisions were mopping up French troops and preparing for a siege of Great Britain. The Dutch had already surrendered, as had the Belgians. The British Army foundered on the coast of France in the channel port of Dunkirk. Nearly 350,000 young ...read more

    Big Idea: Saul grasped for control, while David trusted God’s timing. True kingship is not measured by force but by surrender to the Lord.

    They say, “timing is everything.” And you don’t have to be a musician to know that’s true — although if you’ve ever sung the wrong verse while everyone else moved on to the chorus, you know how awkward bad timing can be. Think about how much of life depends on timing. Arriving five minutes late to ...read more
