    Contributed by William D. Brown on Mar 4, 2011
     | 9,590 views

    And even today many people are trying to live good clean lives, righteous lives, thinking that if there is a God He’ll see their goodness and let them go to heaven, maybe He’ll see that their good out weighs their bad.

    JOB 25:1-6 HOW CAN MAN BE JUSTIFIED WITH GOD? 3-5-11 Today I want to talk just for a few minutes on the subject of “How can man be justified with God?” In “JOB” the oldest book of the Bible we find people even then were talking about this subject. In previous ...read more

    Psalm 23:6, ‘Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever.’ The confession of David could be our desire. We would like to have these two divine blessings in our life. But we struggle to have them.

    Psalm 23:6 - “Shall follow me” Happy New month to all of you. The Lord is good and his love never ends. While I was praying for this new month’s service, these words were brought to my mind by the Holy Spirit from Psalm 23:6, ‘Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: ...read more

     | 1,546 views

    In John 10 Jesus reaffirms that He is fulfilling Ezekiel 34. Psalm 23 is a Psalm that touches a deep place within our souls. Why would Jesus compare Himself to a “shepherd” if in His own culture the role of the “shepherd” was a profession that was rejected?

    In Jesus Holy Name April 21, 2024 Text: Psalm 23:1-3, John 10:11 Redeemer “My Good Shepherd” Psalm 23, may be the most familiar and favorite of all the psalms. The affirmation of God as our good shepherd implies a truth that touches a deep place within our souls. “Even ...read more

    The heart of the LORD is about Mercy towards us, and as HE gives mercy, we are also to be merciful to others. We love, because HE first loved us. We forgive, because HE first forgave us. We have mercy because HE first was merciful to us.

    2023.07.09.Sermon.The Heart of the LORD - Have Mercy William Akehurst, HSWC I was reflecting on the “Walk through the Bible” study we did a few years back, when we recognized the 1st three kings over Israel, and the words and hand motions to describe each.

    I can’t help but think it was Mother Teresa’s having to suffer the loss of her father, who was murdered when she was a child, that directed her to a life of mercy.

    Jesus is asked 183 questions of which he only answers 3. The expert asked a question wanting to test Jesus and he got an answer. But in the story about the Good Samaritan, Jesus is testing him—and us. The man beaten and robbed was going from Jerusalem to Jericho. So were the priest and Levite, ...read more
