     | 7,616 views

    This message, although not a sequel, builds on an earlier teaching, "Dead To The World."

    We are not who we used to be In November, I delivered a message titled “Dead to the World.” In that message, I talked about what it meant to be dead to sin and to the things of this world.

    Shall Any Teach God Knowledge?

    Contributed by James Dina on Nov 7, 2020
     | 2,735 views

    God knows all things, He is infinite in knowledge. Nothing can be added to His treasure of Knowledge and nothing can be taken from it. Man receives all his knowledge from God and must submit quietly to His will.

    SHALL ANY TEACH GOD KNOWLEDGE? (JOB 21:22) Does God need any tutor or master? to teach Him how to order the affairs of the world, what to do with the wicked and the godly ones? Surely He doesn't need anyone to teach nor instruct Him. GOD CANNOT BE TAUGHT Some men are so foolish that they ...read more

    Being thankful always requires a relationship with Jesus Christ that is built upon faith and trust in him. We can be thankful "in" all things, while we can't bring ourselves to be thankful "for" all things.

    When we were born again, we were born into a realm where sickness and death does not exist. And because this is where we now live, we have the right to enforce life in those areas of our lives that are not manifesting life.

    In January 1910, a raging plague was sweeping through parts of the nation of Africa, leaving behind hundreds of thousands of bodies. In less than a month, one quarter of the entire population had died. The plague was so contagious that the government was offering $1000, the equivalent of $27,170 ...read more

    Matthew 5:6 is an essential element of being a follower of Jesus Christ. It is as non-negotiable as faith in Christ (5:3), repenting of sin (5:4), and submitting to God’s will (5:5) which is basically what He’s talked about thus far.
