    As children of God we must be reminded that when people humiliate us or deride us, others may not be aware of the pain we go through, but the Lord who sees deep within, is mindful of all our hurts.

    Honor from God We read in Psalm 91:15, “When he calls to me, I will answer him; I will be with him in trouble; I will rescue him and honor him.” (ESV) In continuation with our study on Psalm 91, we will consider the life of a man named Jabez, to comprehend how the Lord can deliver us and honor us ...read more

This Psalm is one of seven so-called “Theocratic Psalms” (Psalms 93, 95, 96, 97, 98, 99, and 100). The theme of all seven Psalms is: “The ...read more

    This parable appears only in the Gospel of Matthew. The Lord Jesus would often take some unusual things and use those things to teach us a spiritual lesson.

    In this parable, He used WORK and WAGES to teach us a spiritual lesson. Illus: When it comes to labor and management, I think about the man who applied for a job. It went something like this: • Manager: "I'm sorry I can't hire you, but there isn't enough work to keep you ...read more

    Sermon # 12 - God's Grace And Man's Responsibility Series

    Contributed by Andrew Dixon on Aug 15, 2024
    based on 1 rating
     | 1,206 views

    God’s grace and His justice are like two sides of the same coin. Both go hand in hand and if we underplay one or overplay the other, we will err and miss out on God’s eternal reward. The life of Lot and his family will help us understand this better.

    We read in Genesis 19:16, When Lot still hesitated, the angels seized his hand and the hands of his wife and two daughters and rushed them to safety outside the city, for the LORD was merciful. (NLT) Most of us are familiar with the incident of the destruction of the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah. ...read more

    Jehoshaphat faced an impossible foe. He was outnumbered, out-gunned, and out-maneuvered. He knew his only hope was divine intervention. He called on God & God answered. We need to know that the battle belongs to the Lord, not us!

    THE BATTLE BELONGS TO THE LORD 2 Chron. 20:2-25 INTRODUCTION A. HUMOR: BRAIN TRANSPLANT NEEDED 1. A man needed a brain transplant and met with a brain surgeon to discuss the prices.

     | 853 views

    And what is it that we can know for sure? I John 5:5 proclaims that “Jesus is the Son of God.” And the reason we can know this for sure is that there are multiple witnesses that point to the same fact. And they are in agreement with each other.

    Alba 9-29-2024 THE THREE SURE WITNESSES I John 5:6-12 Donald Trump has often spoken of what he calls, “fake news” when describing what he considers biased reporting.

    Jesus has a title, and it’s the great physician. He is able and willing to heal us.

    There is a broken path in life. A road many of us here have walked. It’s the road of perdition. It’s the road of destruction. But it doesn’t feel that way when we walk it, not at first at least. The road begins with a surrender. It’s a surrender that occurred in my heart when I had had too much. I ...read more
