     | 31,678 views

    There are curses for trusting ourselves and blessings for trusting God. In which will you trust?

    a. As I read the bible, I find that God often pronounces blessings upon His people, but He also tells about curses that go along with the blessings as well. I believe that there is a reason for this. i. The warnings, the curses highlight the blessings by the power of contrast. ii. If you ...read more

    Paul says we’re no longer under law but under grace, he means we no longer live under the old regime of the law; that is part of the old creation, old self, joined to Adam, slaves of sin. Instead we’ve been brought into a new reality, the grace of God

    Gloria In Excelsis -- Deo

    Ordination of a woman named Gloria; glory not in your achievements but in helping others seek God; glory not in defending yourself against predators but in receiving God’s protection; and let yourself feel passion.

    Over the years I have developed the habit of focusing on a person’s name whenever it is time to do a message that relates to that individual. For example, I have done funerals for people named James, using something from the New Testament letter of James. I did a funeral service once for a woman ...read more

    We all have built-in prejudices that God must break down before we be truly effective with the Gospel. We see Him doing just that in our text.

    When human barriers come down, HEAVENLY BLESSINGS come down! Acts 10:1-34 Have you ever noticed that the guy driving slower than you is always a jerk, whereas the guy driving faster than you is always a maniac?

    How would you respond if God called your name not once, but twice? In the Bible, God calls plenty of people often by name, but I’ve only found seven times where God calls out someone’s name twice in a row. In each instance, what follows is a life-changing encounter with the God of creation.

    We are all thankful for every precious verse of scripture in the Word of God, but there are some verses we favor above others. One such verse is Psalm 56:3, we read, “What time I am afraid, I will trust in thee.”

    WHY IS THIS SUCH A FAVORITE VERSE OF SCRIPTURE FOR SO MANY? Because there are times in ALL OF OUR LIVES when we are AFRAID!

    Repentance is a beautiful thing. Repentance is a breaking free from the ties and bonds of this world, and the sins that so easily corrupt us, and a process of being transformed into the likeness of Christ.

    Mark 7:20-23 (ESV) And he said, “What comes out of a person is what defiles him.
