    Paul, in writing to the Ephesians talks about being “near and far.” Notice that Jesus has brought us all into relationship with one another through faith. What are the steps to being “brought near”?

    In the story of "Ichabod: Where is the Glory?" we explore God's presence, human frailty, and His enduring faithfulness. It's a journey from despair to restoration, revealing God's unchanging love.

    Ichabod: Where is the Glory? Introduction: In our study of the book of Samuel, we come across a tragic event that signifies the departure of the glory of God from His people. The story of the Ark of the Covenant and its capture by the Philistines reveals the consequences of sin and disobedience. ...read more

    Jesus suffered for our sins, the righteous for the unrighteous. He took on what we deserved so that we could receive what we never could have earned nearness to God. And Christ made it possible, once and for all.

    Can A Person Know Jesus Intimately?

    Contributed by Dr. Craig Nelson on Sep 6, 2021
    based on 4 ratings
     | 4,775 views

    I believe that the essential issue in the church today is the need to grow in intimacy with Jesus, the Creator God of all things.

    God desires to have a personal, intimate, loving, dynamic, and powerful relationship with every person on the planet. WHAT IS INTIMACY? To develop an intimate relationship with Jesus, we need to define what that looks like. Some have said that intimacy means "in-to-me-see" and begins ...read more

    The chief priests were meticulous in making sure the "blood money" didn't go into the treasury while they were actively working on a murder. What are ways we see the small things while missing the big picture?

    Diagnosing Spiritual Near-Sightedness: There is a “spiritual eye condition” that allows people to see small things clearly while being blind to big things. - Matthew 27:6. - References in Matthew to clear “eyes”: Matthew 6:22-23, 7:3-5, 13:15-16. - We are going to go ...read more

    If we yield to temptations, the devil will continually follow us; but if we put on the whole armor of God, and stand out against him, he will leave us. Let sinners then submit to God, and seek his grace and favor; resisting the devil. Our nearness to God

    I felt how privileged are we to just go near Him covering our face and demanding Him to remove the hands and play with us! He would.

    Though unnatural, death comes to all. How shall we respond to death? We explore this neglected subject by looking at an incident in the ministry of Ezekiel.

    “The word of the LORD came to me: ‘Son of man, behold, I am about to take the delight of your eyes away from you at a stroke; yet you shall not mourn or weep, nor shall your tears run down. Sigh, but not aloud; make no mourning for the dead. Bind on your turban, and put your shoes on your feet; ...read more
