To Fail, To Fall, To Finish

Prerequisites For Purposeful Living Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Apr 6, 2021

The Christian, of course, is committed to a life of growing quality. Jesus came that we might have life abundant, and both Old and New Testaments make it clear that the believer is to advance in wisdom and in favor with God and man.

A woman in a contemporary play is complaining about her hollow living, and she says to another, "Don't you get the feeling that this is a broken world, something like a watch? The parts are all there, and it looks all right, but the main spring is broken and it no longer has meaning. ...read more

The Faith That God Favors

Contributed by Donnie Martin on Aug 31, 2004

Biblical faith always has God as it’s objective and focus. Therefore the type of faith that God favors is a faith that trusts God for the impossible, then persists in that godly trust until the provision is realized.

THE FAITH THAT GOD FAVORS Text: Matt.9: 29; Matt.15: 28 Intro: What kind of faith does God favor? The obvious answer to that question is, “Real faith.” However, faith is as much a matter of cultivation as it is choice. Though faith begins with one’s choice to trust God, it is developed ...read more

The Road Less Traveled Series

Contributed by Ed Vasicek on Jul 27, 2009

How Do We Live By Faith? Series

Contributed by Paul Clemente on Feb 10, 2009

The righteous shall live by faith and God teaches us how to live by faith through Abraham, Abraham’s Chief Servant, and Rebekah.

To be justified before God means to be just or right before God. Turn to 2 Peter Chapter 2 for a moment. Read along with ...read more

What should we do when we make mistakes and can we become good witnesses for God again?

We have all done it! We have all done something not good; then we say to ourselves, “Wow, I was really a poor testimony for God with that one.” Did anyone get hurt? Did you do anything about it? You know, this is actually a good sign when you realize you have done something wrong for God. This ...read more

Always Choose God's Grace Series

Contributed by Paul Clemente on Apr 6, 2009

Because God is a Gracious God, He will love every person, whether that person is like Jacob who was promised by God, or ordinary people like Leah, Rachel, and Laban; but every person can choose to separate from God’s blessings.

Last week, we learned about God’s grace through 2 women, Leah and Rachel. We noted that biblical grace is undeserved favor. Let us learn more about this gracious God through 2 men, Jacob and Laban. Since we will cover much Scripture today, we will first briefly look at the character of the 2 men, ...read more
