    based on 15 ratings
     | 5,891 views

    People are troubled by the fact that life doesn’t seem to be fair. Peace and encouragement don’t come from rationalizing life, but from focusing on the love, presence and power of God in our lives.

    THE SEVEN SERVICE JUNE 30, 2002 Matthew 5:45 “Why Isn’t Life Fair?” INTRODUCTION Growing up with brothers and sisters, a big issue for us was fairness. We always counted the number of presents, at Christmas time, in order to make sure that they were equal and thus fair. The value of the ...read more

     | 4,093 views

    The spices mentioned to be used on the day of Atonement in the Holy of Holies present a facinating testimony to the salvation of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. They are a foreshadowing of His work of mercy, grace and love.

    Jacob found himself in a tough spot and alone when the Angel of the Lord came and wrestled with him. Are we willing to put ourselves in a position for an encounter with God?

    n Jacob was a man who had always done things his way and he was the kind of person who wanted to be in charge and know how things were going to play out. n How many times do we get in that same place with God? We know what we are used to and we know what we expect and don’t want to see that ...read more

    Death Comes First

    Contributed by Gary Christensen on Mar 9, 2016
     | 6,439 views

    We think that Life comes first, and death follows. But, think of death happening first, then Life follows. It happens when we first believe. We were DEAD in sin, until God brings us the word of LIFE. The butterfly seems to DIE, then comes back to LIFE!

    Death comes first. "Unless a corn of wheat falls into the ground and dies, it abides alone. But, if it dies, it brings forth much fruit." (John 12:24) Let's begin with a very basic Universal Principle: “First comes Death,.. then comes Life!” I know, it sounds backwards. We ...read more
