    Many people believe God is on their side because (whatever). God is on the side of creation (John 3:16), but the question how to keep him on our side.

    HOW TO KEEP GOD ON OUR SIDE 2 Kings 18:1-7 INTRODUCTION A. The rich and the powerful point to their power and riches as proof that God is on their side. B. The poor and downtrodden often believe that God is on their side in their rebellion against the rich and ...read more

    Uses the donkey of the Triumphal Entry as an example for us in exalting the Christ and introducing his reign into people’s lives.

    In contrast, Cynic philosophers of the era were known for their provision bag, staff, and big mouth!

Epictetus, who taught ...read more

    Application about Paul’s teaching about his thorn: He was active in interpreting his life experience to himself and others

    Paul Powell said, “Troubles knock a lot of nonsense out of us.” Like Paul’s “thorn in the flesh” from our Second Reading taken from 2 Corinthians, chapter 12 , which he says was given to him by “an angel of Satan.” It was not a sin problem. e.g. Winne-the-Pooh comes downstairs, bump, bump, ...read more

    An Extravagant Gesture

     | 10,041 views

    Extravagant gestures are an appropriate - even necessary - expression of love.

    Do you know how much it cost? $15,000, that’s how much. And that’s just for the perfume! The bottle she broke was worth nearly that much on its own. I can’t see why Jesus was so upset with us for complaining about the waste. I mean, I saw his point later on, but how could we have known then? ...read more

    Caiaphas was allowed to give one of the most powerful prophecies regarding Jesus’ mission to earth. And yet, Caiaphas was a ruthless, ungodly and illegitimate High Priest. Why would God use him for this purpose?

    This passage of Scripture raises a very interesting question. WHY? Why should the young remember God and serve Him in their youth?
