    The Compassion Of Christ

    based on 24 ratings

    There is no sin that is too big for God’s forgiveness.

    The story of the Geresene Demoniac. This story gives me chills. There is so much meaning beyond the words written on the page. There are so many questions to be asked. Jesus enters a town that is obviously not filled with Jews. The first question to be asked is, Are they Gentiles or Heathens. We ...read more

    Where Is Your Faith?

    Contributed by Christian Cheong on Aug 7, 2005

    The encounter in the storm tells us we need to (1) put our trust in God; (2) do not let fear paralyze us, and (3) faith comes from knowing the Word of God.

    Jesus asked, “Where is your faith?” I believe this is the same question the Lord would like to ask us today. Where is your faith? Where or what do you put your trust in? In yourself – your own wisdom and strength? Your career? Your family? No human being can live without faith in someone or ...read more

    Arise and walk with Jesus

    Swales are known to overcome boats in the oceans. We think about swales why would a swale be important for our lives? Storms in the ocean are often caused by winds that blow or come up because of atmospheric changes occurring or by weather changes in the atmosphere. I am by no means a mythologist, ...read more

    How To Keep Objectively Focused In Emotional Situations

    How To Keep Objective in Emotional Situations (Luke 8:22-25)

    It is sad how many people allow their emotions to cloud their ability to think objectively. When emotions get in the way of objective reasoning we tend to say and do things that we later regret. Jesus knew how to calm the storm in human emotions. Example: One day Jesus said to his disciples, ...read more

    The Purposes Of Storms

    Those storms in our lives don’t always come from our sin-- in fact, following Christ will lead us directly into the eye of the storm.

    1. ALL PROBLEMS IN LIFE ARE NOT RELATED TO SIN! The Jews believed strongly that if something bad happened to someone, they had done some sort of sin. If a person was stricken with an illness it reflected on some sort of sin. If he suffered financial loss, it was sin-related.. If his children grew ...read more

    We may never be completely isolated from many of the storms of life, but we can know God’s peace in the midst of the storm.

    Mark 4:35-41 It is fascinating to hear stories of people who have survived tragic events. Someone makes it out alive of a landslide. Someone survives a crash. Someone survives after days at sea. We are never promised to come out alive, but we can know survival in our hearts if we trust Jesus. ...read more

    Look at examples about Jesus from the Gospels on how we can live up to the popular phrase "What would Jesus do?".

    Just What Would Jesus Do? “W”, “W”, “J”, “D”. (repeat the letters twice). Most of you know, that that stands for “What Would Jesus Do”. A phrase that has been quite popular for some time now. Four simple words in an expression that has meant much to most, or has it? Not to many months ago, this ...read more
