    I often wondered, especially in times like these, why would the author use the word ‘GLAD’ when referring to this earthly life being over? Can we find a sense of Gladness even when a life has been cut so short and abruptly?

    God is not the author of evil. God does not induce anyone to participate in that which is sinful and destructive. When God places some burden upon us, he does so to bring out the good rather than the bad. When Satan places some burden on us or some obs

    Let us Not into Temptation Matthew 6:13 Intro To even begin to understand this particular petition the Lord included in the model prayer, we must recognize that there is a difference between the temptation that is initiated by Satan and the test to which God puts us.

    Some who call themselves Christians are denying The Authority of Scripture. Some are denying the Deity and Saving power of Christ. When doctrine and truth are abandoned., You do not get liberal Christianity you have formed a whole new religion based on satanic doctrine. (Updated Nov. 2026)

    When we think of God, what comes into our mind? For many, our view of God is shaped by our upbringing and view of our parents or others who were authority figures in our lives. We tend to combine that with what the Bible says to come up with our view of

     | 7,155 views

    In order avoid becoming bitter in running the race of faith, the author of Hebrews in verses 12–17 gives three exhortations for: 1) Continuance (Hebrews 12:12–13), 2) Diligence (Hebrews 12:14), and for 3) Vigilance (Hebrews 12:15-17).

    we must free ourselves of our past and others that have sinned against us so that we can truly enjoy the joy of being forgiven ourselves. I am not the original author of this entire sermon, some of it has been shared from other sermons and some original

    Many of us live in fear in our daily lives because of our past sins. Many of us have been frozen by our past sins against someone or even more so, a past sin someone has committed against us.

    Life Quest

    Contributed by Dale Pilgrim on Jun 2, 2011
     | 3,138 views

    Our LIFE QUEST is one of building lives of obedience (MSG, 2Cor 10:6). Many of us have learned that the more obedient we are to God’s authority the more we grow like Him, the closer we get to Him and the better life is because of Him.

    LIFE QUEST Scripture: 2 Corinthians 10:3-6, MSG Text: Verse 6 – “Building lives of obedience into maturity” (All other references are quoted from NASB unless otherwise stated) A boy had been disobedient.

     | 3,677 views

    The closing doxology of Jude's letter is not only glorious, but when analysed, it is specifically challenging to our Christian lives. How do we stand? What about stumbling? How are we blameless? To Jesus Christ our Lord, be glory, majesty, dominion and authority for ever and ever!

    THE FINAL MESSAGE IN JUDE – THE GLORIOUS BUT CHALLENGING DOXOLOGY – Jude 1:24-25 INTRODUCTION: We have proceeded through Jude slowly, bit by bit, to understand it.

    "i Am": Jesus' Greatest Declaration

    Contributed by Jack Perkins, D.min., Ladc, Csac, Cclc on Sep 17, 2021
     | 1,886 views

    Jesus said, “I am,” he knew what lay ahead for himself and those who would follow him. “I AM!” is a declarative statement that few can make with the kind of authority and confidence that Jesus embodied. One will find seven reference to himself using “I Am”.

    Perhaps some had a disappointed look on their face as they peered through the crowd, catching a glimpse of a lone figure coming down the road.

    Because God is our Banner, there should be 3 R's in our lives: 1. Resistance to the world in us, 2. God should be our Rallying Point, and 3. the Redeemer's Name -- Jesus Christ -- gives us authority over sickness & demons, it saves us & we gather in it.

    At Christ’s enthronement a transfer of authority took place. What Adam lost through disobedience – Christ regained through obedience! However, even though Satan is no longer “the ruler of this world,” he isn’t going to give it up without a fight and war erupts in heaven.

    Many so-called Christian churches claim that believers can only maintain a right relationship with God and the hope of heaven through the priests, or mediators, that they have authorized for these purposes. Does God's word support such a teaching. Find out from Hebrews 7:1-19.
