    based on 1 rating
     | 6,918 views

    Why do some people seem to have more in, from and through their relationship with God? Because they trust in God’s capabilities more than their capabilities and they practice the faith and the self discipline of the word until!

    Galatians 5:22-23 MSG But what happens when we live God’s way? He brings gifts into our lives, much the same way that fruit appears in an orchard—things like affection for others, exuberance about life, serenity. We develop a willingness to stick with things, a sense of compassion in the heart, and ...read more

     | 699 views

    Understanding the relationship of rabbi to disciple – and what discipleship entailed – will help us to better understand Jesus’ teachings because they help us better understand the teacher (Jesus) and His most frequent audience (the disciples).

    The Old Testament Background for Jesus' Teachings About Discipleship I Kings 19:19-21,Luke 9:57-62, Matthew 19:21, and Luke 5:27 Intro A lot of ignorance about discipleship primarily because interpreters isolate the New Testament teaching from its Old Testament context. Main Idea: ...read more

    The greatest wall that sin erected was a wall between us and God. Our relationship with God was bricked off and blocked and there was nothing we could ever do on our own to tear one brick out of that wall.

    TITLE: WALLS SCRIPTURE: JOSHUA 6:1-5 (Some text used from Rev. Shawn Drake message and expanded upon) The narrative of Joshua leading the Israelites to bring down the walls of Jericho is a powerful account that demonstrates the faithfulness and might of the lord.

    Judas Iscariot lived together with Jesus and other disciples for more than three years. They ate, prayed, and traveled together. They have built a strong relationship and spiritual bond. How could he betray Jesus?

    Today we will discuss this topic: “Judas Iscariot, a Blessed and a Cursed Man,” taken from Mark 14:43-52. Who is Judas Iscariot?

    Every one of us are blessed beyond measure if we have a relationship with Jesus Christ. We have accepted the invitation that He has given. Why waste what God has so graciously given?

In verse 8, the words, “vexed his righteous soul from day to day. Vexed means to disturb, provoke, trouble, irritation, and great ...read more
