     | 1,226 views

    The animals and the fish were created to demonstrate God’s glory, and they were each given a command to multiply and reproduce according to their own kind. We must see that God's design for Creation is intentional, and done to show His majesty even in the smallest things!

    Alpha and Omega, Part 4 God places an importance on all life! Genesis 1:20-25 Introduction - We’ve begun the year with “one purpose”: Knowing there is a God! -- Just as a building requires a builder, a creation must have a Creator - Continuing our series, “Alpha and Omega”; looking at ...read more

    Imagine a commentary on the Old Testament by Jesus Christ. It would be the best, and we have one in the Sermon on the Mount. Let’s begin to understand the intent of the law by its author. Let’s look at murder, adultery and bearing false witness in Matthew 5:21-37.

    A Lying Tongue

    Contributed by James Dina on Jul 29, 2020

     | 13,070 views

    A lie is something false said with the intention to deceive. When we lie, we are speaking Satan’s native language. It’s music to his ears. Speak the truth in Love. Keep your tongue from evil, and your lips from speaking deceit.

    A LYING TONGUE “The truthful lip shall be established forever, but a lying tongue is but for a moment.” (Proverbs 12:19) The tongue is one of the smallest organs of the body; a world of evil among the parts of the body, ...read more

    Lesson 8: For Their Continued Growth Series

    Contributed by John Lowe on Jul 23, 2018
     | 5,383 views

    God should be recognized in even the simplest affairs of life―didn’t Paul instruct believers to, “Pray about everything”? It was never God’s intention for man to direct his own steps; and only those journeys where God is the pilot are truly prosperous.

    Sadducees Sadly Mistaken (2004)

     | 2,620 views

    The intention of the question of our "case in point" (Luke 20:27-40) was designed by those who composed it to make a fool of Jesus. It backfired. The scripture tells us that when Jesus answered that question, no one dared to ask Him any other questions.

    SADDUCEES SADLY MISTAKEN Text: Luke 20:27-40 Bruce Larson made the comment that the question that the Sadducees posed to Jesus was a test that was designed to determine whether or not He was a conservative or a liberal.

    The plot continues to thicken for Mordecai and Esther. Just when it appeared the Jews would enjoy a season of peace and prosperity, Haman devised a plan to destroy the them throughout the kingdom. Regardless of Haman's intentions, God remained sovereign and would preserve His people.

    Haman’s Sinister Scheme Esther 3: 8-15 While Esther, Mordecai, and the Jews within Persia may have rejoiced in Esther being crowned as queen, they would soon find themselves dealing with an executive order from Ahasuerus that would strike fear in their hearts.

    Proverbs 24:10 The message Bible says, if you fall to pieces in a crisis, there wasn't much to you in the first place. The intent of that verse is not to condemn us for being weak, but to exhort to toughen up, to stir us up to the action of building ourselves up in the Lord.

    Proverbs 24:10 KJV If thou faint in the day of adversity, thy strength is small. Proverbs 24:10 MSG If you fall to pieces in a crisis, there wasn't much to you in the first place.

    Forgetting And Remembering God

    Contributed by Ed Vasicek on Nov 23, 2015
     | 9,805 views

    When we intentionally set up a structure to help us remember God, we are more likely to obey Him and trust Him. When we forget God through neglect or unrealized good intentions, we are more likely to disobey Him and trust in our own ability.

    Forgetting and Remembering God (Deuteronomy 8:1-20) 1. When it comes to counting our blessings, we need to get them in perspective. We often do not appreciate them until they are taken away.
