    Confirmed By God

    Contributed by John Phillip R. Pesebre on Jun 4, 2012

    God’s actions confirm His nature. God breaks in our world to give confirmation of His greatness. He does this in this passage and many times in the Old Testament – to confirm Himself as Lord.

    ’The proof of the pudding is in the eating’ is a very old proverb. The Oxford Dictionary of Quotations dates it back to the early 14th century (albeit without offering any supporting evidence for that assertion.) The phrase is widely attributed to Cervantes in The History of Don Quixote. It means ...read more

    You need the real meat that is the Holy word of God so you can discern the times and see how near the Masters coming is. You are not to fall into idleness or be defeated by being beaten down by this world of distraction. WATCH!

    The Parable of the Watchful Servants Luke 12:35-48 Message: God’s plan to redeem the world to Himself involved the birth, life, death and resurrection of His son Jesus Christ.

    Solomon is troubled by the unfairness of life. But he was the king - why didn't he just legislate away injustice and punish all the wrong-doers and give away some his vast wealth to feed the poor? Why wouldn't that work?

    OPEN: Awhile back there was an article that appeared in a Kentucky newspaper which read: "I used to think I was poor. Then they told me I wasn't poor, I was needy. Then they told me it was self-defeating to think of myself as needy, that I was culturally deprived. Then they told me 'deprived' ...read more

    We Are Individually Responsible

    An idea is being floated in our nation that citizens must pay for the sins of the past in something called "reparations." This message asks if this concept is biblical. Praise be to God that He does not require reparations from us!

    I want to begin our message this morning by bringing an awareness of a modern-day proposal that is being floated in our local, state, and federal governments, and then tie that in to what Ezekiel has to say in our passage. Across our nation, people are talking about something called “reparations.” ...read more

    As we consider politics according to the Bible, we examine what the Bible has to say about the economy.

    Scripture Years ago I came across the following somewhat humorous view of the economic policies of different political systems: • In Communism, if you have two cows, the government takes both of them and gives you part of the milk. • In Socialism, if you have two cows, the government ...read more

    The Triumphal Entry by Jesus on Palm Sunday will remain in history as one of the best organized confrontation to the powers that be. Jesus’ entry into Jerusalem proved He was the real leader and not Rome nor the High Priest. For this, He had to die.

     | 1,242 views

    Tola and Jair are two simple minor Judges. They are minor because their stories end in small passages. Tola was a man of Issachar, son of Puah, the son of Dodo. Tola means ‘the crimson worm or red/purple worm.’ This name was used by two people in the Bible.

    Text: Judges 10:1-5 Theme: Two Minor Judges Introduction: Tola and Jair are two simple minor Judges. They are minor because their stories end in small passages.

    The subject of the whole chapter could be the great salvation of Israel and the coming kingdom of God. But first we have to look at verses 1& 2 which speaks of the great destruction of Israel.

    Revelation chapter 11 is one of the most important and one of the most exciting chapters in Revelation. Five reasons: 1. It points to the rebuilding and destruction of the temple of Jerusalem. 2. It shows the destruction of Jerusalem by the Gentiles. 3. It ties in with the prophecies of ...read more
