Heart Attack Lent Series

Contributed by Jay Winters on Oct 16, 2006

Viewing the Holiness of God caused Isaiah to exclaim the heart-attack language of "Woe is me!" and does the same to us, the season of Lent is a time in the Christian year to examine ourselves and have a heart attack experience as well.

Goal: That we might be so stricken to the heart that we are shocked into realizing our place before a Holy God. Malady: We’re building up with complacency. Means: Christ came to us, became heartache for us, and In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit – the HOLY Three ...read more

Prophets And Losses

Contributed by Austin Mansfield on Sep 18, 2007

False prophets are not just an Old Testament problem. We have them in full force today, in all denominations, telling us that God is “doing a new thing,” misinterpreting Isaiah 43:19 to justify sin.

Other Scriptures used: Jeremiah 23:23-29 Psalm 82 Hebrews 12:1-14 In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. May the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be acceptable to you, Lord, my rock and my redeemer. Amen. (Psalm 19:14) False prophets are not just an ...read more

Messengers Of Hope

Contributed by Daniel Haas on Dec 6, 2008

Isaiah managed to get through with his Message of Hope. And so did the Messengers of Hope at the barn: the Angels, the Shepherds and the Wise Men. Today we receive the Message of Hope and learn how to become Messengers ourselves.

Jesus Is Mighty God

Contributed by Roger Hasselquist on Dec 13, 2021
