     | 3,415 views

     | 12,465 views

    God speaks to us in many ways. The Urim and the Thummim were used in the Old Testament, but now we have a better way. We have the leading of the Holy Spirit, the Word of God and the very presence of God's shekinah living within us if we are Born Again.

    THE URIM AND THE THUMMIM February 7, 2016 By Rev. James May I’m going to speak to you this morning, as the Lord will lead me, concerning something that many of you may never have heard of, or even if you have heard of it, you may have never understood what it was all about.

    The Savior saved us so we will speak about Him to those He sends us to.

    How many of you remember the sermon from last weekend? Me either. Howard Hendricks used to say we have the potential of remembering 10% of what we hear, and that’s just the potential. Another pastor believes we forget 95% of a sermon after 72 hours. For us to remember, we need to hear things ...read more

    Should Christians Use Imagination In Prayer And Worship?

    Contributed by Dr. Craig Nelson on Jul 8, 2023
    based on 4 ratings
     | 1,846 views

    Since the first century, every Born-Again Christian has a desire to draw closer to God through prayer and worship because the Holy Spirit occupies their spirit, mind, and body.

    Prayer is part of the daily sanctification process by the Holy Spirit to prepare us to meet Jesus face-to-face when we leave this world and enter eternity (John 16:13-15; 1 Corinthians 3:16; Ephesians 1:13; Galatians 5:16-21). Many 'techniques' have risen to help people along the path ...read more

    Hell Awareness

    Contributed by Perry Greene on Mar 3, 2023
     | 1,425 views

    Preaching about hell is no longer in vogue but it is an incredible warning to our God-defying world.

    When the great English preacher, Charles Spurgeon, taught homiletics to his student preachers, he coached them on preaching about heaven and hell. He said that they should look joyful when they preached of heaven, but their regular face would do when they spoke of hell. Years ago, preachers ...read more

    Choice Of The Jews Defended Series

     | 777 views

    God is faithful even though the Jews were not. His choice of these people was for His own purposes.

    3:1 “What advantage then has the Jew, or what is the profit of circumcision?” Try to ignore the chapter division here. The flow of thoughts continues. And understand that when he uses the term “Jew” here, Paul is using it generically to include physical and true Jew. Macarthur adds to the question ...read more

    When your lineage has been erased and rewritten, rehappened, reformed, and restructured in such a way that you don’t know who you are and when you don’t understand who you then you will try to assimilate to what others think you ought to believe you to do.
