    Sometimes in life we hold on to past stuff that we should let go. We start looking back wanting those things that we have left behind. When god delievers us from our past, let the past stay the past and Leave Your Baggage Behind.

    Introduction: In today’s society there are those of us that either want to hold on to the pass, or are afraid to move on from their past lives. There were situations that happened to them ten or maybe fifteen years ago that they are still holding on to. An old saying that people use to say was ...read more

    Our future depends on our past & present attitude & actions toward God. Yet even if we have thwarted God’s purposes in our past, He is willing to restore us, for God is a God of redemption. He holds out gracious promises to those who turn to Him.

    ISAIAH 48: 17-22 PROMISES FOR THE FAITHFUL [Jeremiah 50:4-8] Had Israel responded to God in their past, their present life and circumstances would have been considerably different. Instead of being enslaved and going into exile they would have walked in ...read more

    Taking Life Seriously

    What does it mean to take life seriously like God does? Being PRO-LIFE means more than holding signs up at a rally. It means having an ethic of life that permeates all of life not just one issue like abortion. It ought to affect the way we look at

    Taking Life Seriously Jeremiah 1:5 “My intent was to carry out my duty as a doctor, to end their suffering.

    If you have dedicated yourself the following Christ, to live as Jesus lived and do what Jesus did, he will never let you go. Remember, God is reaching down to us. When we reach back up and grasp his hand, he’s the one doing the holding.

    In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. Amen. Our Gospel reading today begins by mentioning the “Feast of the Dedication” which took place in Jerusalem. We don’t hear too much about the Feast of the Dedication. It’s also known as the Festival of Lights, or Hanukah. In ...read more

    Freedom has a high price....Mankind ...over all wants to hold others in bondage .....so the most powerful...the rich...can dominate and make the less fortunate serve them as slaves....but, we have laws of our land and ....so far to protect us from that.

    God has given us His Spirit to dwell within us forever, to show us what love is, and the Spirit loves those who are unlovable ... we just respond to His calling. So, how much energy do we waste holding onto anger and malice?

    God’s Love for Us 1 John Bible Study, Part 10 1 John 4:7-12 Introduction - For us, there can be no test greater than how we handle the word of God -- It is where our promise is; and where we must be prepared to lead others to - Who is within us? -- Romans 8:9, “You, however, ...read more

     | 5,660 views

    John gives us three very important concepts to grab hold of: If we live in the dark, God does not live within us; if we live in the truth, He is within us and we walk perfectly with Him; and lastly, repentance is more than words; it's a life change.

    The Resurrection of Jesus has happened. Jesus is alive, and as the words of the old song says: Because He lives, I can face tomorrow; Because He lives, all fear is gone; Because I know He holds the future, And life is worth the living just because He lives.

    Breaking Free From Fear

    Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Jan 21, 2022
    based on 1 rating
     | 2,619 views

    Fear, especially the fear of death, can turn us into slaves living in bondage. The devil uses fear to rob us of our freedom and abundant life. He uses fear to seize us, take hold of us, and suck the life right out of us! But the Son sets us free!

    In John 8:36 we read, “Therefore if the Son makes you free, you shall be free indeed.” We all desire abundant life, but if we are held in bondage then we are not experiencing true life; and one major thing that holds us captive is “fear.” Frank Herbert, in his Dune Chronicles, says that the “fear ...read more
