Owned

Contributed by Je Layugan on Apr 11, 2022

Nothing compares to God. But as strange as it may seem, God’s Win-Loss record seems not clean. Because there’s a man by the name of Jacob who claimed to have seen God face to face, was in a wrestling match with God, and even defeated God.

Nothing compares to God. He is Omnipresent, (always everywhere). Omniscient (all knowing). Omnipotent (all powerful). He is transcendent (he is beyond and above us and our understanding of this world) But as strange as it may seem, God’s Win-Loss record seems not clean. Because there’s a ...read more

God Will Be "As The Dew”

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Apr 28, 2022

In our text today, Hosea uses a beautiful metaphor to show us how the Lord blesses His people.

In this beautiful metaphor, He says, "I will be as the dew unto Israel". Now, ordinarily we do not think much about dew, and if we do think about it, we certainly do not compare it to our relationship with God. In fact, we do not see a lot of good in dew. • The ladies generally do not ...read more

An Unusual Call Of God Series

Contributed by Brad Beaman on Mar 9, 2022

True Repentance Series

Contributed by Brad Beaman on Mar 15, 2022

The Compassion Of God Series

Contributed by Brad Beaman on Mar 21, 2022

The message of Hosea 11 is for you and me, not only wayward Israel. The family life of Hosea and his wife Gomers serve as is an illustration of how our sin breaks the heart of God. Now the focus is on God’s compassion and redemption.

There is a difference between compassion and concern. If a man falls off an ocean liner, we will show concern by yelling man overboard and look for help. Compassion would be at the risk of our own life; we jump in and rescue the drowning man. Compassion is much deeper than concern. In Hosea 11 we ...read more
