    “I will surely show kindness to you for the sake of your father Jonathan,” is a dynamic verse of grace. The whole story of Mephibosheth is a delightful display of grace from a merciful God. Includes us too. You will love this account. It means so much.

    ABOUNDING GRACE – MEPHIBOSHETH ENTERED INTO THE KINDNESS OF GRACE INTRODUCTION When you come in from a very brightly lit room where you have been for a few hours, and into a closed room where there is just one candle on a table, all is dull.

     | 21,143 views

    On this “Baptism of Jesus” Sunday we might very well ask what John asked. Why did Jesus need to be baptized? Like John it is also good for us to see our need for baptism by Jesus.

    John the Baptist. That name brings powerful images to mind. Camel’s hair clothes held together with a leather belt. Grasshoppers dipped in wild honey for a sweet and crunchy meal. Saying the morally right thing at the socially wrong time. John was the one who called the people who came to hear ...read more

    The Divisive And The Godly Minister

    Contributed by Jerry Cosper on Mar 13, 2012
     | 6,499 views

    This is the very reason that this 3rd letter of John was written. There was a divisive leader in the church who was causing serious problems. In writing, John covers the traits of the divisive leader and he tells us how to handle him.

    A divisive leader is one of the most serious problems to ever confront a church. When a church has within its ranks a divisive leader, the very life and ministry of the church are threatened. A divisive leader always carries a church through one of its most traumatic experiences. He usually ...read more
