     | 6,566 views

    Big things come in small packages. In this 2nd part in our series, "Small But Mighty", we're looking at Psalm 117 and how you are what God says you are.

    Intro: There’s an old Latin phrase, Parvus Sed Potens, that means “small but mighty”. Today, we would say that little things mean a lot or “something small can have a big impact.” This could be good or bad. It could mean that someone is in need, they may be quarantined or sad and you stop by ...read more

    Now I know they didn't have church buildings then, but as you read this chapter you can almost visualize yourself walking in through the open door of the church at Rome, wandering down the aisle and meeting the various members.

     | 2,046 views

    We see many differences in God’s church today when we compare it to the New Testament church.

    For example, I am sure that if the apostle Paul could come back today and see the excellent buildings we worship in, he would marvel over them and see them as a big improvement compared to what they had worshipped in. But, as big a contrast as that might be, there is a greater difference he would ...read more

     | 1,824 views

    One of the difficulties the Lord Jesus had in dealing with mankind was getting people to accept Him for Who He was.

    He could have solved that problem by making us all robots. All He would have to do then is push a button and make us believe on Him as our Savior. Illus: That would be a bit like a young man pulling a gun on a beautiful young lady, pointing it in her face, and saying, “Tell me that you love ...read more
