    Settle Down Where I Have Placed You!

    Contributed by Michael Stark on Aug 2, 2025
     | 727 views

    Many of God's people are infected with a spirit of restlessness. We do well to take to heart the message God sent to Jews living in Babylonian captivity to settle down where He placed them.

    “These are the words of the letter that Jeremiah the prophet sent from Jerusalem to the surviving elders of the exiles, and to the priests, the prophets, and all the people, whom Nebuchadnezzar had taken into exile from Jerusalem to Babylon. This was after King Jeconiah and the queen mother, the ...read more

    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

    Sermon # 4 - Chosen To Be Royalty Series

    Contributed by Andrew Dixon on Jul 17, 2024
    based on 1 rating
     | 1,560 views

    God has chosen us and called us to be a Royal Priesthood, but often we don’t realize our position in Christ. Abraham’s life will encourage us to realize how God can fulfill His great plans in the lives of those whom God has called and chosen.

    We read in 1 Peter 2:9, However, you are chosen people, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, people who belong to God. You were chosen to tell about the excellent qualities of God, who called you out of darkness into his marvelous light. (GW) In the verses preceding the above mentioned verse, Peter ...read more
