    Wrestling With God

    Contributed by Sam Mccormick on Oct 26, 2018
     | 12,797 views

    On the way to meet his extranged brother Esau, Jacob experienced a strange encounter with a "man," who Jacob identified as God himself.

    WRESTLING WITH GOD Please turn to Genesis 32. Having made a covenant of peace with Laban, his nettlesome father-in-law, Jacob traveled southward through the country east of the Jordan River. The “angels of God” met him there. Their purpose seems to have been to set up a meeting between Jacob and ...read more

    Our desires are the heart of the mind and can lead us to great things as well as destructive patterns.

    Well, I have to tell you, men, I do believe that us reigning in our desires and guiding our motivation are very important. I just want you to think - just for a moment about 1 area in your life where you lack self-control. Just 1 area. Whether it's - you eat too much. Whether it's you drive like a ...read more

    How Jesus Sought A Sinner

    Contributed by John White on Jul 26, 2018
     | 7,344 views

    it should be informative to have a look at just one example of Jesus seeking a sinner. In doing so, we need to remember that this is just one example. The entire ministry of our Lord seems to be focused upon seeking those sinners who are lost.

    How Jesus Sought A Sinner Luke 19:1-10 "And [Jesus] entered and passed through Jericho. And, behold, [there was] a man named Zacchaeus, which was the chief among the publicans, and he was rich. And he sought to see Jesus who he was; and could not for the press, because he was little of stature. ...read more

    Natural Law And Christian Management Practices

    Contributed by Byron Perrine on Jul 9, 2019
     | 2,319 views

    With the exception of those sections dealing with “natural law” and its relationship to Christianity, I am indebted to the lectures of Beth Cabrera, The Great Courses Plus.com regarding the contributions of "positive psychology" to the field of management.

    (If you have found this sermon helpful, please visit us at www.HeritageRestorationProject.org or www.ChristianWisdom.info) In Ephesians 6:5-9, we read that servants are to be obedient to masters. Presumably today this applies to employees and other workers. They are to be obedient to whatever ...read more

    Lesson 9: The Gentiles’ Former State: Isolation Series

     | 4,398 views

    It is a good thing for Christians to “remember” what they were. No ability of the mind can be better employed to produce humility, penitence, gratitude, and love, than the memory. It is good for us to recall our former sins.

    Commentary on the Book of Ephesians By: Tom Lowe Date: 3/31/17 Lesson 9: The Gentiles’ Former State: Isolation (2:11-13) Ephesians 2:11-13 (KJV) 11 Wherefore remember, that ye being in time past Gentiles in the flesh, who are called Uncircumcision by that which is called the Circumcision in ...read more

    A Light In The Darkness

    based on 4 ratings
     | 8,668 views

    The beautiful truth of Christ's mission is that God was not just content to contain darkness or to hold it at bay for a while. Instead, he pierced the heart of it and conquered it on our behalf.

    INTRODUCTION The passage just read is probably one of my favorite Christmas passages from one of my favorite books of the Bible. In fact, it is one of the reasons Isaiah has sometimes been called the “fifth gospel”, because between this, 7:14, 11:1-9, and chapter 53, we have an almost complete ...read more

    Detained, But Not Defeated Series

     | 20,549 views

    With Peter in prison, the church prayed continually for his release. When God answered their prayers, they lacked faith to believe. We can overcome in Christ, but we must possess faith to believe the Lord will provide.

    Detained but not Defeated Acts 12: 1-16 Our text deals with an intense time for the early church. God was clearly at work, and the church was growing. Thousands had been saved by the grace of God and the church’s influence was spreading. Such growth created much concern for the religious ...read more

    Today’s lesson is about the conversation between Jesus and a certain Pharisee that took place during dinner. Jesus says many of those things to the Pharisee and his guests that He will say to them later in the temple. Jesus is consistent in what He says

    Judea Lesson: Judgment Against Lawyers and Pharisees (Micah 6:8) Luke 11:37-54 Jesus was a dinner guest in the home of a Pharisee, but He did not flatter His host or the other guests by avoiding the truth. He exposed their hypocrisy and condemned them for their sins (Matt. 23). They ruined ...read more

    We have the right to pursue happiness. However, we soon discover that happiness is fleeting. Joy is better, but how do you find, obtain and keep it?

    Joyride - Pt. 1 – Running on E I. Introduction Life is a series of ups and a series of downs. Cycles that loop. Turns and shifts that sling us in a different direction than we anticipated. Our life often feels much like an amusement ride! And not the kiddy ones. The white knuckle, scream ...read more

    We stand firm and do the work of God, not discouraged by ridicule, intimidation and threats, because God is with us and we are doing God's will.

    Last week we saw the beautiful picture of the people of God coming together to rebuild the walls of Jerusalem – people of different skills and occupations, young and old, men and women – all having to stop their usual work and take up the work of God. • There is unity in the diversity.

    The declaration and mission of Nehemiah is more than just rebuilding a wall, it's a calling for men and women to return to living fully for the God in heaven. Doesn't the church today have the exact same mission? Why are we not living it?

    Nehemiah’s Mission Nehemiah 2:1-20 Introduction - Nehemiah is a great study of leadership, but also of obedience to God - Last time we saw our man Nehemiah receiving very disturbing news -- This news was about Jerusalem and its apparent fall into ruin; people disgraced -- His heart ...read more
