    Was it just your own choice why you believe? Could you really choose to follow God, to believe in Him, or to be saved?

    Contributed by Mark Opperman on May 3, 2010
    based on 5 ratings
     | 16,941 views

    The real tragedy of talking trash is that it hurts people and damages our relationship with God. How we treat (speak of) others not only affects them, but it affects our own closeness with God.

    The Tragedy of Trash Talk James 4:11-12 11 Brothers, do not slander one another. Anyone who speaks against his brother or judges him speaks against the law and judges it. When you judge the law, you are not keeping it, but sitting in judgment on it. 12 There is only one Lawgiver and Judge, the ...read more

    Just like Pharaoh somehow had strange suspicion that he’d better do something to hold these people back. The enemy has that same inclination to want to hold you back from your promise, from your position, from your calling, from fulfilling what God has placed on your life

    Freedom from the Oppression of the Taskmasters Study Text: Exodus 1: 8-14 Introduction: - There came a new king who had no covenant with Joseph. God brought him up out of the pit, put him right in second in command, right under Pharaoh. - Pharaoh said, “Take my kingdom,” and so forth. ...read more

     | 4,565 views

    These words of Jesus were caring words of understanding. He was saying to these people, “I know your struggles. I understand what you are going through and I care.” The beatitudes may be prescriptive, but on one level may be descriptive. We will see both.

    Reversal of Fortunes Matthew 5:1-12 1 Now when he saw the crowds, he went up on a mountainside and sat down. His disciples came to him, 2 and he began to teach them, saying: 3 "Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. 4 Blessed are those who mourn, for they will be ...read more
