    A Hope For All Seasons

    Contributed by Alan Perkins on Oct 28, 2001
    based on 66 ratings
     | 12,005 views

    True, lasting hope comes not from our circumstances, nor does it come from within ourselves. It comes from God.

    As a pastor, one of the things I’m called upon to do is to comfort those who are going through difficult circumstances. At times of suffering or crisis, people typically look to the minister for support and encouragement. And so, when tragedy strikes, or the storms of life become overwhelming, or ...read more

     | 2,884 views

    God designed a destiny for us, and how pleasurable to it to the heart of God when we embrace His ultimate and eternal plan for us. What is that destiny? The writer of Hebrews unfolds it before us.

    What do you think about when you hear the word “destiny?” For Bob Cartwright, the word was a morbid word. On October 11th, 2006, Bob Cartwright was invited to join a pilot friend and New York Yankees pitcher Cory Lidle to see a playoff game between the Yankees and Detroit Tigers. Cartwright ...read more

    Why Is The Kingdom Open To The ‘least Of These’? Series

    Contributed by Jim Butcher on Jan 20, 2026
     | 88 views

    We are familiar with Jesus talking about "the least of these," but why are they a target of the Kingdom? This parable gives us insight into that question.

    AN INTERESTING QUESTION: How did we get to the place where “the least of these” is such a focus of the Kingdom? - Luke 14:12-15. - You are probably tired of hearing me repeat that important interpretation principle: context is key. - Most of you fully know what I mean but for anyone visiting, let ...read more

    Experience God’s provision when we trust in his goodness like Elijah

    Be careful what you pray for you just might get it. That is exactly what happened to Elijah. He took on the dubious joy of praying against his own nation as it fell deeper and deeper into sin.

    Jesus calls us out of our ruts and wakes us from behind the wheels of our dead lives to a new life just as he called Lazarus from the tomb.

    Every day we are confronted with instances that make us question our life. For some it is being confronted by the boss, for others it is dealing with family.
