     | 6,468 views

    The first 21 verses of 1 Peter could be summed this way (vs.3-12) living a life of Holiness and verses (vs.13-21) fear for God. Not a fear of bodily harm but a respect and concern as we struggle to live a life before the righteous God (1Pet 1:16)

    A perspective on John 8: 12. To live in hope can inversely imply that there is darkness in a person’s life. It reveals a need for a saviour who can speak into that darkness and bring forth light and life.

    John 8: 12 God speaks into our darkness In the beginning of the Bible the very first words that we hear God speak are, “Let there be light.” And God saw that the light was good. The context into which God spoke was darkness. From out of the darkness God created light and life. From ...read more

    This message deals with the source and power of hope in our lives.

    I can remember as a young boy saying prayer for the family one Thanksgiving meal. In my prayer I included the phrase, "Dear God, I sure hope the Oakland Raiders make it to the Superbowl." I learned that wasn’t really appropriate. As I grew, I also learned that real hope is not the kind of hope I ...read more

    Zechariah started to speak when the remnant resumed the rebuilding of the Temple. • His first words were ‘repent and return to God’, never to repeat the mistake of the past and reject God again. • They would have understood, having suffered the wrath of God and 70 years in exile.

    God shows Ezekiel a valley of dry bones. And through his vision, we learn to not limit what God can do, to speak life into the lives of others, to allow God's Spirit to fill us, and to give God the glory when he replaces our hopelessness with hopefulness.

    Ezekiel 37:1-14 When There is No Hope The prognosis is specific: there is no hope. The relationship is irreparably damaged: there is no hope. The depression wraps around you like a thick blanket of fog: there is no hope. Yet, today’s scripture suggests that, in the most hopeless of cases, God is ...read more

    If you ever feel like life is out of your control, seems hopeless and you feel like no one can help, or even cares --- then look at the story of Hagar. Hagar teaches us that life is a struggle, yet God sees our struggles and offers a solution.

    The book of Genesis tells about different people who heard directly from God. God spoke face to face with Adam and Eve in the Garden.

    The moment we are born, we begin to age. We grow, develop, and then deteriorate ­ and our memory is one of the first things to go. Our only hope in life is this: God never changes. He is the one constant we can count on while everything around us ra

    Even when we are in a place of exile, we must demonstrate unwavering obedience to God just as Joseph did. Joseph could not see all of God’s plan except for the next step.

    Poor baby Jesus! He’s only a small child, and already his life is in danger, as we heard in the passage from Matthew 2:13-23 earlier in this morning’s service.
