    It's difficult to see pride in yourself. This message identifies seven areas where our pride often rears its ugly head.

    - Few people will admit to being proud. It’s difficult thing to see in yourself. - In our passage for this morning (James 4:6), it tells us that God opposes the proud. That’s worth stopping to ponder: God sets Himself against such people. God will actively work against the proud. I ...read more

    There were 44 separate groups of people working for the overwhelming task of rebuilding the walls. Without them working together they culd not have rebuilt the walls reminding us that we can accomplish more together than if just one person tried to do all

    Recharge Your Work Nehemiah 3: 1-4,6-8, 31-32 At first glance, Nehemiah chapter 3 looks a bit dry. One commentator refers to it as a "colorless memorandum of assignments." It’s a list of people and their assignments in re-building the wall of Jerusalem. It reads much like the book of 1 Chronicles ...read more

And the new people (there seemed to be more and more of them all the time!) just weren’t fitting in. It ...read more

    To let the people know that you need to want to the promises of God bad enough, that you will be broken down just to be blessed.

    We find that Jacob has a problem he is between a rock and hard place. Because his uncle Laban is behind him and his brother whom he tricked is about to approach him. And he does not know what to do. You see he is on his way to meet Esau for the first time in some twenty years after he stole ...read more
