    The Thessalonian church was a shining example of believers in ministry and gospel outreach. They had all the fruits of the Holy Spirit as we see in the verses of Chapter 1. They radiated faith, hope, love, and steadfastness. They waited patiently for the Rapture.

While it is not universally accepted, the great majority of commentators and writers consider this letter as being Paul’s first letter. It has the ...read more

     | 23,792 views

    What determines our relationship with Him is whether we become bitter or crave for Him more than ever knowing our entire life dependence is on Christ our Lord and King. This craving is just the advent of revival of our lives.

    Opening illustration: A shepherd, who had spent many years with flocks on the hills of Scotland, asked me if I had ever seen a sheep eat while lying down. When I confessed that I had not, he told me that no one had ever seen a sheep eat in that position. “If a sheep is lying down,” he ...read more

    When Your Dreams Fall Into The Pit Series

    Contributed by Brian Williams on Oct 14, 2025
     | 258 views

    Like Israel sent Joseph to his brothers because of his love and concern for his rebellious children, God sent His son Jesus out of love for a world that is lost and distant from Him because of their sin. God is concerned for both your daily and eternal welfare.

    Today, we are in Genesis 37. If you remember, for 20 years Jacob went from running, to wrestling, to resolving issues with God and his brother Esau. On his journey back home to Hebron, he endured deep sorrow — the rape of his daughter, Dinah, the shame of his sons’ violent revenge, and the loss of ...read more

     | 141 views

    When life hurts, God’s presence sustains, His sovereignty prevails, and His purpose transforms suffering into glory through the Cross of Christ.

    There are times when life just doesn’t make sense. You love God. You serve Him. You try to walk uprightly. Yet pain seems to find you like a heat-seeking missile. You look around, and the wicked are prospering, the proud are climbing, and the people who mock God seem to have the easiest lives of ...read more
