     | 3,758 views

    Learning to relate in the right way toward God ordained authority is an important part of spiritual maturity. In fact, you cannot walk in the anointing of God, Who is the head of all and from Whom the oil of anointing flows, if you are not submitted...

    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

    The Bible sees hardship as God¡¦s loving discipline, which, as we submit to it, he uses to produce his character in our lives.

    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

    We must be careful not to allow anger to become a root of bitterness that will destroy our soul. Forgiveness for one another is a must.

    Forgive God, Others and Yourself By Pastor Jim May If there would be one word that I could use to describe the attitude of many of the people that I meet every day, that word would be “bitter”. Every word that comes from their mouth is bitter. Anything that requires something of them draws out ...read more

    In order avoid becoming bitter in running the race of faith, the author of Hebrews in verses 12–17 gives three exhortations for: 1) Continuance (Hebrews 12:12–13), 2) Diligence (Hebrews 12:14), and for 3) Vigilance (Hebrews 12:15-17).

    Passionate About Holiness Series

    Contributed by Rich Anderson on Feb 16, 2011

     | 5,563 views

    To be Holy is to be set apart. Not “Holier than Thou”, not religious, but Holy in God’s sight. Are we set apart? To be set apart is to be a Christ-like example to those around us.

    What do we mean when we say something is Holy? Look at your Bible. It says “Holy Bible.” What makes it Holy? The land of Israel is called “The Holy Land.” The city of Jerusalem is called “The Holy City.” Why? There is a quality about all three that they share in common, They all belong to ...read more
