     | 2,269 views

    It is a vain and futile thing to complain against God Who is gracious. A study of the descent of Israel into complaining serves to warn us against charging God with error.

    “They sinned still more against [God], rebelling against the Most High in the desert. They tested God in their heart by demanding the food they craved. They spoke against God, saying, 'Can God spread a table in the wilderness? He struck the rock so that water gushed out and streams ...read more

    The Bible teaches that God can be known. That’s astonishing, isn’t it? The God of the Universe has chosen to reveal Himself to us. He longs for us to know Him more fully, more accurately and more personally.

     | 35,994 views

    There’s power in making the decision to give the gift He really wants: to "follow Him." But in this story in Luke, 3 men tell Jesus that that is precisely what they want to do. So why isn’t Jesus content with their gift?

    OPEN: About three years ago, Dave Barry made this observation about Christmas: "Your standard man, at this point in the Christmas season, has purchased zero gifts. He has not yet gotten around to purchasing an acceptable gift for his wife for last Christmas. He did give her something last ...read more

     | 2,729 views

    Many people have trouble with the concept of total depravity. While not denying they are sinners, many people feel that their sin isn’t bad enough to condemn them. What they don’t understand is that any sin is wholly unacceptable to God.

    Whatever you have, learn to be content with what God has entrusted to you. Remember, it isn’t wrong to earn more to live in security and provide for your family. It is the love of money that is dangerous. It is the constant pursuit of the good life tha

    Who Is Your Lord? Series

    based on 4 ratings
     | 7,186 views

    Life with Jesus should never be in addition to the lifestyle we led before we met Jesus. If that is the way it is in your life, then it will be very apparent to everyone that He’s only an addition and that He isn’t Lord and Savior of your life.

    Life, Everlasting, Part II – Who is your Lord? In Part I, we determined from Ezekiel 37 that, through the breath put in us by God when we give our life to Him, we have life. And through that breath we will know that He is the LORD. We also briefly touched upon those that claim activities, ...read more

    We all face times when we wonder if God is really present? Just because you don’t see God’s movement doesn’t mean He isn’t already moving in your circumstances.

    It simply amazes me how much ridiculously unimportant stuff gets in the way of the churches fulfilling “The Great Commission”. If sin in our lives isn’t enough of a stumbling block, the politics and some of the outdated traditions of some of the churches

    Jonah’s burning because Ninevah isn’t. God appeals to Jonah, and rather than show us Jonah’s response, He invites us to respond. Will we show compassion, or will we run from our responsibility?

    “Jonah and the Worm” 4:1-11 Pastor Bob Leroe, Cliftondale Congregational Church, Saugus, Massachusetts In our final chapter, we see Jonah as a pouting prophet. Jonah reluctantly obeyed God, and now he’s sulking. He experienced such a wonderful display of God’s mercy; he saw God work in a ...read more
