    God urges us to persevere in our faith, even as Job did.

    Finish this sentence. “If you don’t succeed at first…try, try again.” Do you know who besides God best exemplifies that kind of perseverance? Satan. If there is one thing I admire about Satan, and I know that’s a shocking thing to say, but if there is something we can learn from him, it’s ...read more

    The case that Peter presented to Jesus was of a brother who sinned against him.

To Peter, forgiving someone seven times seemed reasonable enough. Is it so?

    Overcoming Fear Series

    Contributed by Andrew Dixon on Jun 18, 2021
    based on 1 rating
     | 6,848 views

    More people have succumbed to fear than to deadly diseases. Fear causes weakness, therefore when the Lord said "Fear not", He also said "I will strengthen you". If we need to overcome fear and lead a healthy life, we need to learn about this from God's Word.

    Overcoming Fear We read in Isaiah 41:10, “Fear not, for I am with you, be not dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you. Surely I will help you. I will uphold you with My righteous right hand.” (TLV) There are two phrases in the above mentioned verse that I wish to highlight in this ...read more
