    What are we going to do? A new day? A new week? A new year? No matter how flat the pancake there is always two sides. We need a greater insight to realize this obstacle is a new opportunity to trust God. Faith does not jump into darkness, faith steps into the LIGHT!

    The Way To Paradise

     | 494 views

    Like the two thieves on the cross we too have an opportunity while we are still alive and here on earth to choose to be with the Lord or ask for some more of the world. These are two very different destinies and either of the choices have eternal consequences. I hope you will choose Jesus!

    Journey with me if you will to the Spring of AD 29. The day started early. It was about half past six on Friday morning. The purple robe was ripped off Jesus’ badly beaten body and a crown of thorns was placed on his head. He was clothed again with his own blood-stained, garment and led to ...read more

     | 188 views

    Here's another opportunity to put yourself in another’s position, and it is critical. You have been following Jesus, for several days or months or years. He is going to Jerusalem with this vast mob following Him, including you. He stops. He turns around.

    Twenty-third Sunday in Course 2025 Let’s suppose you have what you think is a good idea, but you wonder whether other people will agree with you. If your primary concern is to avoid public scorn or controversy or losing a valuable part of your business, you are in need of prudence. You are asking ...read more

    David's journey to the throne seemed to stop when he found himself in a cave hiding from King Saul's army. David had an opportunity to kill Saul. However, he handled it in a way that demonstrated both his godly character and leadership.

    We have followed the life of David from the time where he was a shepherd boy tending the flocks of his family to the battlefields of Israel. He has matured from a boy into a man, killing a giant, winning the heart of the nation, and developing into a man of God. He had reached the pinnacles of ...read more

Samuel was told to tell the people what the ...read more

    Christ's call to serve is unique for each and every believer. He will give us the situation, the words and the ability to do what He wants us to do. He is the one who makes a difference. We are tools to be used by Him.

    “I was shivering, and you gave me clothes…” Martin of Tours was a Roman soldier and a Christian. One cold winter day, as he was entering a city, a beggar stopped him and asked for money. Martin had no money, but the beggar was blue and shivering with cold and Martin gave him what ...read more

    The church faces many difficulties and obstacles while serving the Lord. While these are unavoidable, we do not have to allow them to defeat us. We must maintain our focus on the Lord and follow the vision He has provided.

    Don’t Be Afraid. Be Strong. 1) God is coming to save us. 2) God is coming to fix us.

    “He’s coming!” Do these words strike fear in your heart, or do they warm your heart? It depends on the situation doesn’t it?
