    Today, If You Hear His Voice . . . Series

    Contributed by James Wallace on Feb 1, 2021
     | 3,926 views

    The possibility of falling away from Christ is greater than most of us think--no one is entirely immune from this awful outcome. It all begins with how we come to respond to God's voice, when we know He has spoken to us, and even in small things, choose to ignore Him.

    One of the great challenges of the pastoral profession is discerning who to help among those who are in evident financial need, and when to help them, and then how much to help them. Despite our best and most sincere efforts, pastors young and old, sometimes fail. I remember well the story of a ...read more

    If you want to influence people to turn to the Lord in these days before Jesus comes, be bold, be kind, behave.

    A couple of hunters are out in the woods of New Jersey when one of them falls to the ground. He doesn't seem to be breathing; his eyes are rolled back in his head.

    I believe it’s a significant thing that even as God chose Mary to be the one who would give birth to the Son of God, that it’s also important God also chose Joseph to be a FATHER to Jesus and to raise Him into manhood. Mary and Joseph were chosen together to be parents.

    Like Israel, out of gratitude for His amazing grace toward us, we need to be committed to His house.

    “Committed to His House” Nehemiah 10:39b “...we will not neglect the house of our God.” Time and time again God demonstrated His inexhaustible amazing grace to the nation of Israel. They are reminded by Ezra of God’s providential care for them. Out of gratitude for ...read more

    Do not let tradition and accepted practices prevent you from believing in what God said HE will do! Be willing to accept His Word and let His will be done in and through you according to His Word.

    And in the sixth month the angel Gabriel was sent from God unto a city of Galilee, named Nazareth, To a virgin espoused to a man whose name was Joseph, of the house of David; and the virgin's name was Mary.

     | 7,080 views

    So many of us for various reasons when we look at ourselves the image is distorted, but when we see ourselves through the eyes of the Father's love (when we make our Maker our mirror) that distortion is driven away.

    Seeing Yourself Through His Eyes #20/20 Vision Then Jesus came from Galilee to the Jordan to be baptized by John. But John tried to deter him, saying, “I need to be baptized by you, and do you come to me?” Jesus replied, “Let it be so now; it is proper for us to do this to fulfill all ...read more

    If there was ever time that the body of Christ needed to be encouraged, it is now. This message was delivered in a little over an hour and looked at four passages from Isaiah. A short series could be developed focusing on each of the passages.

    Turn with me to James 1:2. “My brethren, count it all joy when ye fall into divers temptations.” And we know the word “temptation” means “test.” And we know the test we are to count as joy is when Satan tries to get us to give up, to give in or to get out when it relates to God and His Word. Now, ...read more

    We sometimes forget that David was human and would enjoy companionship. One day he found his first true love and she was closer than he ever thought possible.

    Introduction: David was a young man when Samuel anointed him to be king over Israel and only a few years older, most likely, when he went into battle against Goliath. In the days and months afterwards, God was with him and blessed him in every way. But something that was not mentioned is David’s ...read more

    When God Delays His Actions

     | 3,827 views

    As Moses, if we fail to follow the instructions of God we will delay His actions in our lives.

    1. Galatians 4.4-7 4 But when the fullness of time had come, God sent forth his Son, born of woman, born under the law, 5 to redeem those who were under the law, so that we might receive adoption as sons. 6 And because you are sons, God has sent the Spirit of his Son into our hearts, crying, “Abba! ...read more

    Most people get gifts on their birthday but Jesus reversed the role.

    Birthdays. Everybody has them. Some miscount them – me for example. Last year I was telling people I was 77, but Marlene and Keri convinced me that, until December 24, I was only 76. Some make sure others remember their birthday. Some people have two birthdays: one at the time they ...read more

    Since Jesus is called “the Star out of Jacob” (Numbers 24:17) and the “Morning Star” (2 Pet. 1:19), it doesn’t seem surprising that Jesus' birth would be heralded by a new Star. For truly, a Star had been born!
