    I'll Fly Away

    Contributed by Wayne Lawson on Jun 17, 2010

     | 35,300 views

    I often wondered, especially in times like these, why would the author use the word ‘GLAD’ when referring to this earthly life being over? Can we find a sense of Gladness even when a life has been cut so short and abruptly?

    Not All Is Lost

    I was invited to minister at a conference this weekend. The Theme is, "NOT ALL IS LOST." I wondered why they phrased it that way, and why not "All is Not Lost,"

    But when I continued to meditate on this I understood that this is what the Holyspirit wanted us to focus on. NOT ALL IS LOST! Do not rephrase or rearrange the sentence but pause, reflect and let it sink in NOT ALL IS LOST! Loss is one of the most devastating issues with no rules or plans. It ...read more

    Why Is The Rose Of Sharon Important?

    Contributed by Chris Swanson on Feb 7, 2025
     | 821 views

    Song of Solomon is about a man and a woman, their love, courtship, and marriage. It is an allegory of God's love for Israel and the church.

    Before we begin, there has been a lot of discussion over the significance of the book of the Song of Solomon. Some might say that this is an exacting tale about love between a married husband and wife. While others will say that this is a moral story of God's adoration for Israel and ...read more

    God expects: “Faith in action” that Believers Must Respond with: 1) Hope (1 Peter. 1:13), 2) Holiness (1 Peter 1:14-16), and 3) Honor (1 Peter 1:17).

    1 Peter 1:13-17 Therefore, preparing your minds for action, and being sober-minded, set your hope fully on the grace that will be brought to you at the revelation of Jesus Christ. 14 As obedient children, do not be conformed to the passions of your former ignorance, 15 but as he who called you is ...read more

    A Journey Towards Hope: The Emmaus Road (Updated 3/4/24) Series

    Contributed by Dennis Lee on Apr 11, 2016
    based on 7 ratings
     | 29,939 views

    On this road and journey, we’ll look at three secrets we’re all carrying. We see these secrets in two of Jesus disciples that took this road following His death. It’s the road to Emmaus, and it’s a journey we take towards renewing a hope within us that erases exhaustion, emptiness, and enslavement.

    A Journey Towards Hope: The Emmaus Road Luke 24:13-35 With all that is happening in our world today, there is simmering just beneath the surface Three Basic Secrets no one wants to admit, but the truth is more than evident. 1. We Feel Exhausted The first one is that most of us just feel ...read more

    It is thru God that we can find help for everyday problems.

    Intro: What If.....? Genesis 15 has the same type of rejoicing that we find in this Psalm of David. Another year gone will make many ask the question, “What if..?” I guess it is a part of life for us to ask questions like “what if..?” Many times we tend to think of what could have been. But ...read more

    A Feast In The Desert Series

     | 10,201 views

    Facing a great multitude, the disciples faced a problematic situation - how to handle their hunger and need. Jesus took what appeared to be insufficient and provided more than enough. We can bring our meager supply before Him and receive abundance.

    A Feast in the Desert Mark 6: 35-44 Our text today is one of the most familiar accounts recorded in the gospels. In fact, this is the only miracle Jesus performed that is recorded in all four of the gospels. It is a story that many of us have heard all our lives. I suppose it resonated so well ...read more

    God peruses people to not stumble in darkness, but come by faith in Him, to everlasting light.

    Joy comes with the dawning of the light. But the light would not dawn on the generation of Isaiah’s day. It would come in the future. Before the light would shine, both Israel and Judah would experience the judgment of God for their unbelief and rebellion. Assyria would devour and assimilate ...read more

    There is something resplendent in the dark and cold. It's like a cold winter night. The snow muffles all sound, so an incredible silence takes over. It should be dark but it isn't, not really.
