    You may have thought that David’s great sin was when he committed adultery with Bathsheba? It is true that the innocent blood of Uriah and the baby were upon his hands, but in today’s text, seventy thousand people in Israel died because of his sin... Why

    "And David’s heart smote him after that he had numbered the people. And David said unto the LORD, I have sinned greatly in that I have done: and now, I beseech thee, O LORD, take away the iniquity of thy servant; for I have done very foolishly." You may have thought that David’s great sin was when ...read more

    When Jesus gave the Great Commission, He did not say, “If you feel like it, and if it fits your schedule, go and make disciples.” No — He gave His followers an unshakable, urgent, eternal command.

    Go! and follow The Great Commission: Not the Great Suggestion Introduction: There are two types of instructions in life: suggestions and commands. A suggestion says: “If you get the chance, maybe do this.” A command says: “Do this now. It is your responsibility.” If the fire alarm rings in this ...read more

    Working With The Lord's Help Series

    It should never surprise us when we do the Lord's work and people react with anger, ridicule, and rejection. Nehemiah gives us a great example of how we need to respond when the enemies of God oppose His work.

    In this lesson, I would like to look at the leadership of Nehemiah through the hardship and opposition that the people went through. They had opposition from outside and discouragement from inside, yet they got the job done. It should never surprise us when we do the Lord's work and people react ...read more

    Strong churches are like strong homes, they don’t “just happen”. It takes work to make them strong. Let's look at some ways from the scriptures.

    Strong churches are like strong homes, they don’t “just happen”. There are some very important ingredients – key parts. I feel the starting point to understand and remember, “It’s God’s church and it’s God’s plan.” 1. Ephesians 5:25; The church is the object of Christ’s love. 2. 1 Corinthians ...read more

     | 5,597 views

    This passage deals with the spiritual struggle behind the great tribulation—the dragon’s (Satan’s) attacks against the woman (Israel).

    Last time we got a glimpse of the great spiritual conflict that is going on behind all the ungodliness and evil of this world. We have seen how the devil is out to hurt the heart of God. He does that by turning people away from Christ. Last time in Rev. 12: 1-5 we ended with the woman (Israel) ...read more

    Jeremiah was to have God by his side through all of his difficulties. There are special rewards for God’s faithful people. However, it is possible that they might not be received during this life.

    Jeremiah had been God’s spokesman to Judah for forty years, during the last five kings. He continually urged the people to repent and to act, but nobody would listen to him or do anything. He was not a successful man by the world’s standards, like those who have fortune and fame. He did not gain ...read more
