    Alienated from the life of God, strangers to the covenants and the promises, we needed help! (#20 in the Every Spiritual Blessing series)

    “Aliens”. I wonder how many different pictures pop into people’s heads these days when they hear that word.

    based on 84 ratings
     | 13,378 views

    In the parable of the Pharisee and the Publican, we see that you can’t impress God. Having "religion" doesn’t impress God. The Publican gives the REAL "Sinner’s Prayer".

    “The REAL Sinner’s Prayer” Luke 18:9-14 INTRODUCTION: Jesus loved to speak in parables. They grabbed people’s attention. If Jesus said, “Once upon a time, there was a man who ….”, then everybody stopped to listen to the story Jesus was about to tell. It’s like … when I stop to tell a joke … ...read more

We measure our worth by the week we had, the ...read more

    Moses lost the chance to enter into the promised land because he was disobedient to God. That disobedience was caused by anger, pride, and lack of faith.

Because of the report brought back by ten of those spies, the people lose their faith in the Lord and fail to take the land. In chapter 14 of Numbers, the ...read more
