Persistent Prayer

Contributed by Kerry Haynes on Oct 21, 2019

Jesus teaches us to pray always, never give up, and keep the faith until he returns. This kind of prayer keeps the line open with God throughout the day.

Luke 18:1-8 Persistent Prayer George Mueller prayed for a man for 63 years to come to Christ, and finally the man did so. When Mueller died, he had documented 50,000 answers to prayer! 5,000 of those were answered on the day he prayed for them, which means that about 90% of the time he had to ...read more

I Have 99 Problems, But Salvation Ain't One

Contributed by Darrell Williams on Nov 8, 2019

God will not let us be tempted or "tested" beyond what we can bear.

We all have some loads to carry, that's the nature of life. And sometimes the loads are so heavy, that it takes everything we've got to keep from dropping it or caving in beneath the weight. This might be one of those seasons of heavy burdens for you. Is there anybody out there that can ...read more

What Does It Mean To Be Successful?

Contributed by Jonathan Spurlock on Dec 25, 2019

The dictionary has definitions of success and successful. Being successful in this life is no guarantee one will be successful in the next life!

Preface: The dictionary has a few definitions of success, mostly with the idea of accomplishing something or acquiring something (you either do something or get something you want to do). Jesus has been engaged in teaching and conversation with others (see chapter 11 and 12:1-12) but some of the ...read more

Job 1

Contributed by Bruce Ball on Aug 29, 2019

Job 1: Job's first test. Do we devote ourselves to God because He gives us blessings, or does He give us blessings because we devote ourselves to Him?

How do you react to devastation in your life? I think that, with most people, the worse our tragedies are, the worse our reactions will be. And while that is a human instinct, is it a Godly instinct? Let’s take a look at the book of JOB today and see if there is anything we might be able to ...read more

Can Satan Indirectly Lead Us To Success? Series

Contributed by Alis Cerrahyan on Aug 30, 2019

Remember, satan was not able to tempt Jesus without the permission of the Holy Spirit. And he also could not tempt Job without God's permission.

We must be careful not to attribute to satan the abilities and honors which belong to God and Him alone. The Bible says the Devil does not have unlimited power; he cannot be everywhere at once and he does not know everything. He is a created, limited being. He depends upon God for his existence. He ...read more

Job 2

Contributed by Bruce Ball on Sep 5, 2019

This is the second attempt by Satan to get Job to curse God after the first attempt failed. This shows that true lovers of the Lord will remain true lovers of the Lord, even in times of deep trouble or grief.

Last Sunday, we talked about how Job lost everything he had, including all physical property along with all his children. And how, even though he suffered, he did not blame God, but chose to worship God instead. Today, Satan gives him another test designed to test his loyalty to God, and we will ...read more

A Lazy Man’s Vineyard

Contributed by Anitha Jabastion on Jun 12, 2020

A little laziness would ruin a great harvest. It is time for us to be busy for Christ and reap a mighty harvest.

I went by the field of the lazy man, And by the vineyard of the man devoid of understanding; And there it was, all overgrown with thorns; Its surface was covered with nettles; Its stone wall was broken down. When I saw it, I considered it well; I looked on it and received instruction: A little ...read more

Train Your Child In The Way Of The Lord

Contributed by James Dina on Jul 22, 2020

The holy practice of Job is reflected in the care of his children. Every time his children would party, he would always be there to offer a sacrifice (Job 1:4-5). How many fathers really ever get to think about the consequences of their children’s sins?

TRAIN YOUR CHILD IN THE WAY OF THE LORD "His sons used to hold feasts in their homes on their birthdays, and they would invite their three sisters to eat and drink with them. When a period of feasting had run its course, Job would make arrangements for them to be purified. Early in the ...read more

La santa práctica de Job se refleja en el cuidado de sus hijos. Cada vez que sus hijos se divertían, él siempre estaba allí para ofrecer un sacrificio. (Job 1:4-5). ¿Cuántos padres realmente llegan a pensar en las consecuencias de los pecados de sus hijos?

Turuan Ang Iyong Anak Sa Paraan Ng Diyos

Contributed by James Dina on Jul 22, 2020

Ang banal na kasanayan ni Job ay sumasalamin sa pangangalaga ng kanyang mga anak. Sa tuwing mag-aartista ang kanyang mga anak, laging nandoon siya upang mag-alay. (Job 1: 4-5). Gaano karaming mga ama ang talagang nag-iisip tungkol sa mga bunga ng mga kasalanan ng kanilang mga anak?
