    Are you at the end of your rope? Suffering from trials and troubles? Perhaps it is the Lord’s discipline- given out of love for your good. Find hope and help in the first part of Hebrews 12.

    The Apostle Peter to me is one of the great men of the Bible - not because he was so perfect and strong and patient and so much like the Lord - but because he was so imperfect and impetuous and impatient and so much like us! One of my favorite stories about Peter is found in Matthew chapter 14. ...read more

    The Disease Of Jonah - That Ain't Right Series

    We don’t often dwell on the last chapter of Jonah - it’s a real downer. We last see Jonah still sulking over Nineveh’s salvation. What possible reason could God have for ending the book this way?

    OPEN: How many of you have heard the story of Jonah? (every hand went up) Now, how many of you believe Jonah was a righteous man? (most raised their hands) How many of you believe he wasn’t a righteous man? (a small show of hands) I personally believe Jonah was a righteous man. In fact, I believe ...read more

    Many people claim to have ’made a decision for Christ’. But are they truly converted. Their perseverance will be the test

    I’m no carpenter. That’s the understatement of the year! But I understand that in carpentry there’s a term "clinching the nail". If I have it right: In rough work, a nail is driven through several boards so that the point of the nail sticks through the back. Then the workman gives a blow of the ...read more

    based on 27 ratings
     | 7,577 views

    In Hebrews 11:1-12:4, we learn that all God¡¦s children go through trying times in life. God uses those trying times to make us more like Jesus. This passage uses three different words to describe God¡¦s discipline in his children.

    THE FATHER¡¦S DISCIPLINE Hebrews 12:3-17 Why do persecution, testing, trial, sickness, pain, sorrow, and trouble come into the life of the believer? Are they a sign of God¡¦s anger or displeasure? Do they happen by chance? How should we react to them? Certainly some of our sufferings and ...read more

    Contributed by Mack Armstrong on Nov 11, 2007
     | 2,797 views

    The writer to the Hebrews attempts to show that the Offering of Christ at Calvary was far better than that of Abel. Abel offered up the first human animal sacrifice to atone for his sins, as good as that was-it pales in comparison to what Christ offered.

    God is a consuming fire - just yet merciful. We fall away from him at our peril.

    Almost every single passage in Hebrews that we have looked at over the past few months has given us, at its heart, a very simple message.
