    Pivotal events can happen unexpectedly in our lives. If we are able to accept that fact and (at the same time) trust God with the changes that accompany those events, we will manage life better. This message explores unexpected events in Moses's life.

    Today I want to talk about two unexpected events in Moses’s life. One was a glorious encounter with God that set him on the course for the last 40 years of his life.

    Most things in life have to be learned. You can do things naturally but you’ve had to learn how to talk, behave, eat, dress, etc. Some people take all things for granted and have an attitude of knowing it all but in fact there are always new things that we have to learn in the area of our ...read more

    When you open the Bible, do you expect God to speak to you personally? If you truly believe that the Bible is God's word then you should. You see, because God loves His people, He communicates His truth to them.

    Romans An Introduction to Romans Romans 1:7a (Romans 1:7a) It is probably safe to say that there is no consensus in our society concerning God. Ideas concerning God are probably as numerous today as in any time in history. Various theories about God have always been in vogue. There is the ...read more

The writer is bemoaning the fact that by this time many of them should have been teachers. They were still spiritual ...read more
