     | 1,656 views

    Nothing we do is more serious and important than worship. The basis of our worship, and the only basis of our worship, is to be the person, nature, and character of God through His son, Jesus Christ.

    “A lamp.” “A fire.” “A hammer.” “A sword.” “Spirit.” “Life.” “Truth.” “Seed.” “Milk.” “Solid food.” These are all descriptions of God's Word. Isaiah adds two more images to the list. Rain and snow.

    I know you have a Scripture in mind that you believe actually states that "God won't give you more than you can handle", but that is not what the Bible says.

    Last week we began a series entitled: “THE BIBLE DOESN’T SAY THAT”, looking at some popular sayings that many BELIEVE are found in the Bible, but are not. 1. The first one we studied last week was: “God wants me to be happy.” (If you missed that lesson, you can listen to it in the ...read more

    Because of the work of the suffering servant, we don’t have to live empty, barren, unfruitful lives anymore. We can rejoice because we have everything necessary for a dynamic spiritual life and godliness through the true and personal knowledge of the One who called us to Himself.

    Now, here we are at the beginning of the year 2023. Even though we have no idea what this year holds for us, I know that God wants us to grow deeper in our relationship with Him and take steps of faith to trust Him for even greater things, to watch Him take seemingly impossible situations and make ...read more

He replied “Mom, we have to work every day… it’s a war.” (Jeanice Shelley, Reader’s Digest 2/08 p. 50) Last Sunday we talked about the fact that we are ...read more
