    If our greatest need had been military, God would have sent a soldier. If our greatest need had been justice, God would have sent a judge. If our greatest need had been legislation, God would have sent a politician. But, our greatest need was salvation and therefore God sent a Savior!

    Matthew 1:20-23 NKJV “God With Us” The Bible teaches us that Mary and Joseph were a God-fearing couple. They were not perfect in any way, and yet God used them for His glory! Our lesson in St. Matthew begins at an Angel of the Lord that St. Luke lets us know is Gabriel, who after revealing to Mary ...read more

    The Lord's prayer is much more than a prayer guide. It points us to who the father is.

    In Ezekiel 34, using the language of promise, God introduces a new plan for shepherding his people which we see fulfilled in John 10. Jesus, the Good Shepherd still calls his sheep.

    The Good Shepherd Ezekiel 34:1-6; 11-16;23-24; 30-31 Children’s Story Just before school started, I invited four kids from next door to go with me to the city library.

    God usually calls us to be active, but sometimes passive. Passivity can be the more difficult of the two, because it means we accept what God brings without grasping for control. And nowhere do we see surrender to the Father's will exemplified as we do wh

    When the final punishment for evil begins it will be too late to turn. No repentance, no hope, no out. Followers of the Lamb are given glory, while all others are condemned to the lake of fire.

    The Grand Finale of God’s Word Chapters 15-16 Lesson Seven Evil is Rewarded in Holy Wrath Fast and furious! These words describe the seven bowls of wrath well. Once they begin, no one can interfere or enter the presence of God in the temple. There is no coming to the mercy seat, no offering of ...read more

    Let us study the life of a young man in the bible, who was challenged with such hardships in succession. However as this young man stood firm in his faith in the Lord, he not only overcame these calamities, but also by his faith in God, received the fulfillment of God's promises in his life.

    Psalm 91 - No Evil Will Befall You We read in Psalm 91:10, “So nothing bad will happen to you. No diseases will come near your home.” (ERV) We have understood from our previous study that this promise of God as mentioned in the verse above, that ‘no diseases will come near your home,’ holds good ...read more

    The Holy Spirit gives us a discerning mind to help us distinguish between truth and partial truths. Hebrews 5:14 says, "Solid food is for the mature, who by constant use have trained themselves to distinguish good from evil."
