God’s Comfort In Captivity Series

Contributed by Phillip Smith on Jan 30, 2023

In faith and trust of God, the righteous will find comfort in captivity. Wisdom will be given for those who seek to find it.

God never forsakes his own. Today we will begin to see comfort given to His righteous captives by some prophecies foretold of a physical literal nature of their future; perhaps way into the future until the dispersing of Christians in AD 70, or beyond.

Reflection B.16 / Does God Have A Purpose In Coronavirus? Daniel 7, Daniel’s Fourth Beast, Trampling And Devouring

Contributed by Simon Bartlett on May 11, 2020

The description of Daniel's fourth beast fits with the identification in the previous 'Reflection'. It looks very much like the westernised nations at the present time.

We are trying to read signs. Are we in a time of God’s judgement? Are we in ‘End Times’? As we look at possible signs, I can imagine several errors we might make: We can take something as a sign that is not a sign. In Greek mythology, the beauty of Europa inspired the love of Zeus. He ...read more

God’s Dreams For You

Contributed by John Gaston on Jan 26, 2020

The Hebrew word translated “plans” in Jer. 29:11 (machashabah) means “imaginations” (Prov. 6:18; Lam. 3:60-61). It could read, “I know the imaginations I have for YOU…” God has dreams of what He'd like to do for you; are you willing to step into them?

GOD’S DREAMS FOR YOU Jer. 29:11 INTRODUCTION A. HUMOR: NOT FORGIVING, GOING FISHING 1. There was a little boy in the grocery store with his mother.

Working In God’s Vineyard Series

Contributed by Tesh Njokanma on Jun 5, 2018

When God tells you to go and work in His vineyard, He is telling you less of self more of God’s needs. He is telling you get out of your comfort zone, go and reach out to others, go and minister to others.

A father approached two of his sons and told each son to go and work today in the vineyard. In other words, go and occupy for me in my vineyard. Same assignment, same ...read more

Contributed by Dr. Bradford Reaves on Dec 4, 2024

As we gather this Christmas Sunday, there is a tension in the air, one that is often masked by the lights, the decorations, and the festive songs.

God Has A Plan

Contributed by James Thibodeaux on Oct 29, 2021

God has a plan for all of us. The fact that “God has a plan for your life” is well in meaning, but often falls a bit flat to me when I’m faced with reality.

Intro: For those who are listing to this message and those who are here live, many of you knew what my wife has been battling shingles and let me tell you, seeing her suffer was hard, during this process I was seeking and asking God why or how could some one suffer so much that loves you very much. ...read more

Finding God’s Comfort

Contributed by Ajai Prakash on May 29, 2010

In some of the storms of life, God intervenes and shelters us. In others, He allows us to be exposed so that we will be pressed more closely to Him.

Opening illustration: Whether we are reading the daily paper, listening to the radio, or watching TV, the news is filled with what one might call the fruits of discouragement and even despair. Life is like a continuous newsreel showing the futile actions of people trying to live without a biblical ...read more
