    Christmas & The Middle East Crisis

    Contributed by John Gaston on Dec 12, 2018
     | 2,457 views

    The real reason for the Middle-East Crisis: THE DEVIL IS TRYING TO HINDER THE SECOND COMING OF CHRIST by stopping God’s elect nation from getting reestablished, stopping their having Jerusalem, stopping the building of the Temple and the reinstitution of sacrifices.

    CHRISTMAS & THE MIDDLE EAST CRISIS Gal. 4:21-29 INTRODUCTION A. HUMOR 1. I heard about a couple of men fishing off the coast of Wales, England in rough weather.

    The Crown Of Suffering Series

    Contributed by Christopher Benfield on Dec 19, 2018
     | 5,000 views

    The scourging Jesus endured would have been unimaginably horrific, but His suffering was from over. Following the merciless beating, Jesus was then subjected to ridicule and mockery. All of this was done for you and me!

    The Crown of Suffering Mark 15: 16-21 Our last study ended with a gripping statement: And so Pilate, willing to content the people, released Barabbas unto them, and delivered Jesus, when he had scourged him, to be crucified. It doesn’t reveal much detail. We are merely told that Jesus was ...read more

    What does the Christmas story sound like, if we could hear it again for the first time? Whom would we identify with in the story? What would our response be?

    Me time is a precious commodity isn’t it? Some folks get a lot of me time all day long but are unwilling to do anything extra for anyone else, while others get very little and always make time to squeeze in one more thing someone asked them to do, into their busy day!

However, one day a friend saw him feverishly pacing the floor like a caged lion and asked him what the trouble was. "The trouble is," replied Brooks, "that I’m in a ...read more

    On the way to meet his extranged brother Esau, Jacob experienced a strange encounter with a "man," who Jacob identified as God himself.

    WRESTLING WITH GOD Please turn to Genesis 32. Having made a covenant of peace with Laban, his nettlesome father-in-law, Jacob traveled southward through the country east of the Jordan River.

    Many homes have been destroyed by lack of restraint in sharing information about what they see publicly. There are things meant only for private consumption. You do not expose your secrets to a third party but keep it within your hearts.

    Let me start by telling you an interesting and funny piece about some pastors titled, “PASTORS’ PERSONAL PROBLEMS (PPP)” A renowned pastor in diaspora held a crusade and invited two other top preachers from two different countries. After the crusade, the three pastors shared their experiences ...read more
