     | 81 views

    Resisting temptation requires recognizing its deceptive nature, relying on God’s strength and wisdom, and trusting His grace to overcome sin’s destructive pull.

    If you’ve ever stood in front of the pantry at midnight, telling yourself, “Just a nibble,” you know something about the tug of temptation. It doesn’t always stride into the room; it sidles. It winks. It whispers. It promises comfort, relief, maybe a little spark of excitement. Everyone knows that ...read more

    We are thrilled to be partakers of the benefits of the Gospel of Jesus Christ! This world sees the Lord's Gospel as foolish, offensive, and even shameful. But, true, born-again, blood-bought children of God are happy to don themselves in the Gospel of Chr

    Gospel Pride (Romans 1:16-17) “…I am not ashamed of the Gospel of Christ, for it is the power of God to salvation for everyone who believes, for the Jew first and also for the Greek. [17] For in it the righteousness of God is revealed from faith to faith; as it is written: ‘The ...read more

    Open honesty is essential for conversion. Conversion is essential for saint & sinner alike. Many times complete conversion is never manifested in one’s life simply because they have hidden shame, & witheredness, that has never been healed.

    “(STRETCHING FORTH) WITHERED HANDS” Mark McCool TEXT: MATTHEW 12:9-13 9 And when he was departed thence, he went into their synagogue: 10 And, behold, there was a man which had his hand withered. And they asked him, saying, Is it lawful to heal on the sabbath days? that they might accuse ...read more

    No one whose hope is in God will be put to shame. It is not the harsh realities that defeat us but our inability to see God¡¯s goodness and will in them. Trust the Sovereign God who is in control and still very much involved in your life.

    [Main thoughts taken from Max Lucado’s book Just Like Jesus] Theme: A Hopeful Heart Hope is like gold in the garbage. - In the midst of all the trash you find something precious. - In the midst of the darkness you see a ray of light. Look at Jesus at the lowest point of His life - the night ...read more

    The Golden cow of sexual immorality is a big fat cow getting bigger by the day as it enslaves people into it’s dark world of shame and bondage. It’s a sin that the apostle Paul says we need to run from!

    Be Compassionate To The Fallen Series

     | 5,053 views

    You cannot lead someone to Christ through criticism, shame or correction. It starts with the kindness of God, as you show forth the compassion and forgiveness of Jesus. “God’s kindness is intended to lead you to repentance” (Romans 2:4).

    In Romans 2:4, the apostle Paul declared that “God’s kindness is intended to lead you to repentance” (NIV). If showing forth the kindness of God can lead a person to repentance, then on the opposite side, sharing judgment and condemnation will lead an individual to hardening his heart against the ...read more

    When God Turns On The Light

    Contributed by Michael Blitz on Oct 14, 2025
     | 180 views

    Elijah’s encounter with the widow of Zarephath shows how God uses seasons of loss and exposure to bring healing and faith. When God turns on the light, it isn’t to shame us, but to lead us to confession, forgiveness, and life.

    When God Turns on the Light GM. Elijah may almost seem like a superhero when you read through some of the events in his life: He’s the prophet who calls down fire from heaven a number of times, most famously in the Battle on Mt Carmel with the Prophets of Baal. At the end of his life, he ascends ...read more

    Jeremiah continues to list Judah’s losses after the Babylonian invasion. All her precious things have gone; the nation is exposed in shameful defeat; the Temple which was sacred was stripped by Babylon, even the holy of holies violated.

    THE BOOK OF LAMENTATIONS – PART 3 – JUDAH DESPISED THE TEMPLE – NOW ALL THE PRECIOUS THINGS HAVE GONE - CHAPTER 1:7-10 Currently we are looking at Jeremiah’s description as a summary of the catastrophe that befell Jerusalem.

    God’s presence with us overcomes the enemy’s attempts to steal our peace, offering abundant life, hope, and strength through Jesus in every circumstance.

    Some weeks feel like someone sneaked into the pantry of our souls and walked off with the peace we thought we had stored for days like these. Distractions multiply. Weariness whispers. Worry shouts. And our hearts wonder: Where did my joy go? Why does hope seem thin? Why do I feel like I’m fighting ...read more
