    A Light In The Darkness

    Contributed by Ian Hyde on Mar 29, 2019
    based on 4 ratings
     | 8,674 views

    The beautiful truth of Christ's mission is that God was not just content to contain darkness or to hold it at bay for a while. Instead, he pierced the heart of it and conquered it on our behalf.

    INTRODUCTION The passage just read is probably one of my favorite Christmas passages from one of my favorite books of the Bible. In fact, it is one of the reasons Isaiah has sometimes been called the “fifth gospel”, because between this, 7:14, 11:1-9, and chapter 53, we have an almost complete ...read more

     | 3,769 views

    Paul began this second chapter with the sobering reality of man's condition apart from a relationship with Christ. He is utterly hopeless and condemned. Fortunately, God intervened, providing a Remedy!

    Resurrected in Life Ephesians 2: 4-7 In our previous study, Ephesians 2: 1-3, we discovered the utter depravity and hopelessness of mankind within the condemnation of sin. Because of sin, he is dead spiritually, separated from God, and in danger of eternal judgment. Their depravity in sin dictates ...read more

     | 2,938 views

    God reveals His plan for Israel and for all human beings through the angel Gabriel.

    Last time we discussed in detail Daniel's prayer. He gave us a prime example of the format of a prayer. He first showed his adoration for the Lord.

Daniel received this Revelation in 536 B.C. This was about the same time that the Lord rescued him from ...read more

    based on 3 ratings
     | 4,969 views

    This message looks at a great treasure - the kingdom of heaven. To some people, this treasure is so valuable they will choose to risk their life in finding it. But for others, they just ignore it and let it remain undiscovered.

    Have you ever dreamed of finding buried treasure? When I was a child, I did. I read books on John Swift’s lost silver mine in eastern Kentucky. I panned for gold, and bought a metal detector and waded up and down the creek on our farm. I also hunted arrowheads and Indian artifacts. Why did I ...read more

    In regard to overcoming sin, what should be your aim as a Christian? You should aim to overcome each and every temptation that you encounter, knowing that you have been given the grounds and the means to overcome such temptations,

    The Herods During my study of the Herods, I realized that many people get confused about who "Herod" is in the Bible. This is not surprising since there are six different "Herods" in the New ...read more

     | 1,659 views

    This chapter gives us comprehensive insight into the return of Jesus, however, it can be one of the most misunderstood passages. We must be careful to hear and listen to what the Spirit is saying!

    Our Identity Before A Merciful God Series

    Contributed by Allan Quak on Feb 21, 2020
     | 3,629 views

    Jonah professes to be a Hebrew who worships the Lord. However, because he cannot accept the unanticipated mercy of God Jonah behaves like cargo. We are cargo when we don't speak to God.

    Message Jonah 1:4-17 Our Identity Before A Merciful God Last week we ended with Jonah in the town of Joppa paying the fare to sail for Tarshish. Jonah did this because he found the mercy which God was extending to the town of Nineveh too disturbing. A succinct visual summary of the actions of ...read more

    Contributed by Allan Quak on Feb 28, 2020
    based on 2 ratings
     | 6,811 views

    Out of desperation Jonah offers a foxhole prayer; with no repentance, blaming God, self-righteousness and false piety. God's mercy still continues to be shown to Jonah as God rescues Jonah. It is an unanticipated outcome.

    Message Jonah 2:1-10 Rescued by a Merciful God The story is told of an emergency meeting of the church council called by the senior pastor. At the end of the meeting with nothing accomplished, the pastor looked around and then said, “There’s nothing left to do but to pray!” One of the overseers ...read more
