     | 13,851 views

    Jesus wanted Peter to realize the ability to do what He was asking was already there, it already had arrived. Everything the disciples needed to complete the task before them, had already been bought, paid for and provided for, at the cross.

    “Love Jesus?” Feed His Sheep! John 21:15-17 NKJ. 15. So when they had eaten breakfast, Jesus said to Simon Peter, “Simon, son of Jonah, do you love Me more than these?” He said to Him, “Yes, Lord; You know that I love You.” He said to him, “Feed My lambs.” 16. He said to him again a second ...read more

    based on 9 ratings
     | 10,965 views

    You don’t have to do anything to deserve God’s favor, and that’s one of the hardest things to learn about Gods goodness and Favor. The fact that you don’t have to do anything, just boggles a lot of peoples minds.

    A Hope that does not disappoint Romans 5:5 NKJ 5Now hope does not disappoint, because the love of God has been poured out in our hearts by the Holy Spirit who was given to us. But “hope” in the Bible is a confident and positive expectation of good. God wants you to have a confident expectation ...read more

    Stumbing Along

    Contributed by Alison Bucklin on Jul 19, 2023
     | 1,220 views

    Unexamined assumptions can cause us to stumble over things we don't even notice.

    It’s a little disconcerting, sitting down to write a sermon on a passage that you’ve already preached on twice, to find that neither time did you say what you’d planned to say. Of course, only preachers have that problem... Maybe only 60-something preachers have that problem. But more generally, ...read more

    Gods Word never, let me say it again “GODS WORD NEVER EVER” stops completing its given assignment! Gods Word constantly is searching for and making itself available for meeting every need of His children!

    Are we there yet? Most of us, spend our entire lives trying to get everyone to say yes to the things we want to do in life and from life.

     | 6,756 views

    God’s Favor is everywhere! Gods favor knows no boundaries, has no inhibitions, doesn’t look for qualifications, is not based on getting in return, only for opportunities to show itself!

    Psalm 30:4,5 NKJ Sing praise to the Lord, you saints of His, And give thanks at the remembrance of His holy name. For His anger is but for a moment, His favor is for life; Weeping may endure for a night, But joy comes in the morning. One definition of the word favor by Webster is: special ...read more
