Praise Tabernacle

Contributed by Dr. Jwt Spies on Jul 8, 2023

God had delivered his people out of the Egyptian bondage. He had a great plan for these people, which included the ability to commune with them. He wanted to develop a life of personal fellowship with each of them, and become their personal God. So, he created the Tabernacle.

In this of the text we see the significance of the amazing work of this great part of history. In Exodus 25:8 it says “And let them make me a sanctuary; that I may dwell ...read more

In Everything Give Thanks

Contributed by John Gaston on Nov 26, 2019

Paul told us that thanks-giving, not complaining, is God's best will for us. We're to do it in every circumstance, not just the good ones. A thankful spirit operates by faith and focuses on God. We're to do it in the strength and grace of Christ, which is sufficient.

IN EVERYTHING GIVE THANKS 1 Thess. 5:18 INTRODUCTION A. HUMOR 1. Josh: Why did the farmer run a steamroller over his potato field on Thanksgiving Day? Phil: Why?

Leave The Weed

Contributed by G W Bill Elliott Jr on Feb 8, 2020

"Weeding the garden" is something we believe is a good thing, but many times doing this can destroy the good roots around them. Jesus helps us grasp why working to remove the 'weeds' from your life is not necessarily His way of leading you.

Right… at first glance you may quickly think I am going to try convincing you how wrong it is to smoke marijuana… or to do drugs of any kind. No… this is not that kind of ‘weed removal’ encouragement… although… wait… OK… I’ll refrain! Rather, this is an admonition to be careful about being SO ...read more
