    All that God wants for us is right there in front of us, but if we are not careful, we will forge ahead without the guidance of the Lord and miss out on much of what He has for us.

    Choose Life

    "Choose life": an exhortation that belongs not only to the outset of the Christian life, but to all our choices in this life.

    CHOOSE LIFE. Deuteronomy 30:15-20. On more than one occasion I am sure, “Choose life” (Deuteronomy 30:19) has been used, not inappropriately, as the text for an evangelistic sermon. The context, however, suggests that these words were not originally addressed to people who did not know the LORD ...read more

    The way into the Holiest.

    BUT CHRIST! Hebrews 9:1-14. We have been comparing and contrasting the new covenant with the old, the heavenly tabernacle with the earthly; the substance with its shadow (cf. Hebrews 8:1-13). Also the ministry of Jesus with that of Aaron (cf. Hebrews 5:1-10). In this passage we see ...read more

    Isaiah gives us a glimpse of the forces behind gambling and why it becomes so addictive and destructive.

    Intro: ***A preacher saw a man who looked homeless sitting on a park bench and seemed to be in deep distress so he passed by him, handed him a $20 bill and whispered to him, “Never Despair”.

    A Summary Of The Law, And A Question Of Identity

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Sep 6, 2014
    based on 7 ratings
     | 8,507 views

    Often men are more interested in proving the prowess of their own religious party, rather than listening to Jesus. There are times when we need to stop speaking, stop questioning, and start listening to what God is saying in His Word.

    A SUMMARY OF THE LAW, AND A QUESTION OF IDENTITY. Matthew 22:34-46. This section begins with the Pharisees gathered together with just one malicious desire. They had heard Jesus “putting the Sadducees to silence” (Matthew 22:34), and yet they still imagined that they could outwit Him with ...read more

    Friend, getting near to Him means getting close to His Word! You cannot ignore the Bible and say that you love Jesus! Do you hear me?

    Teaching Through Healing

    based on 15 ratings
     | 6,619 views

    To be amazed is not the same as being converted.

    TEACHING THROUGH HEALING. Mark 1:21-28. As we re-read Mark’s Gospel - as we must, from time to time - we find it to be a Gospel of two halves. The first half tells of Jesus’ presentation to the people as an authoritative teacher (Mark 1:21-22), who also happened to use healing (or more ...read more

    Even so, the plans of the Lord always carry with her the potential to move us to a new level of experience. According to His purpose, God can allow changes when it is ordained to take us to Mount Pisgah so we can see the Promised Land.

    The wisdom of every age considers the Catholic faith a folly. The only promise Christ made about this life is that we would be blessed through the agency of persecution.

    Thursday of the 22nd Week in Course 2018 St. Donatian of Africa The wisdom of any secular age considers the Christian faith to be folly.
