     | 19,575 views

    What God is about to do is so great, and so important and so impressive that what He has done in the past pales in comparison. If you persist in holding too tightly to the greatness of what He did in the past, you will miss the greatness of what He is goi

    Going with the flow, embracing change Isaiah 43:16-21 God’s changelessness is a powerful and important doctrine in our faith. God is not a man, that he should lie, nor a son of man, that he should change his mind. Does he speak and then not act? Does he promise and not fulfill? (Numbers 23:19 ...read more

     | 7,150 views

    Anytime there is a new initiative in the kingdom of God, resistance will arise. Where God is at work, the enemy is also at work. Rebuilding the wall of Jerusalem was certainly no exception to this. When people take kingdom priorities seriously, people res

    We've all seen stories of people who think they are on God's side, identify evildoers, and confront them with force. But in God's kingdom, initiated in Jesus Christ, things are otherwise.

    Friday of the Second Week in Course 2025 The Church has no definitive teaching on who wrote the Letter to the Hebrews, but we know that the Holy Spirit inspired the author, and he or she was very familiar with the liturgy of the Jewish Temple, especially the annual Day of Atonement, when the High ...read more

    God wants us to turn to him in everything.

    - I love the true story of a small town in Kentucky which had two churches and a bar owned by a devout and well known atheist.

    God takes the initiative to invite us to connect with Him. Many are too preoccupied with things, too busy making a living, and too caught up by other loves, to be able to make a wise choice.

    Someone said (in verse 15), "Blessed is the man who will eat at the feast in the Kingdom of God." To be eating at the feast in God’s Kingdom is a blessing. - God wants us to fellowship with Him. He wants us to come back into His Kingdom. - God is inviting us today, and Jesus wants the people to ...read more

    Peter says that God views his church as being His chosen nation.

    Peter uses the imagery of the church being God’s chosen nation even as Israel was in the days of the Old Testament.

    How often does God speak, and we walk by distracted? The problem is not divine silence. The problem is human busyness.

    Go! And Listen: When God Speaks, Do You Listen? INTRODUCTION When God speaks… do you listen? Most people hear noise every day, but very few actually listen.
