     | 316 views

    To the world that nailed Him to a cross, He will return as the King of Kings and Lord of Lords. He came once as a Lamb, but He will return as a Lion. Once as a Savior, He will come again as the Judge who will sit on His throne to judge the nations.

    Contributed by Andrew Dixon on Mar 6, 2024
     | 1,131 views

    The love of God is incomprehensible to the human mind. God’s love embraces each one of us in spite of all our sinfulness. May God help us too to love people the way He loves us, and rejoice over the things that make God’s heart rejoice

    We read in 2 Corinthians 9:8, “Besides, God is able to make every blessing of yours overflow for you, so that in every situation you will always have all you need for any good work.” (ISV) This is the verse we have been meditating on that reminds us that God is able to make every blessing ...read more

    Jesus continues to boldly state his equality with God by proclaiming to be the most excellent shepherd of all.

    The clock is my dictator, I shall not rest. It makes me lie down only when exhausted. It leads me into deep depression. It hounds my soul. It leads me in circles of frenzy, for activities sake.

    God is infinitely concerned about each and every lost soul and so should we be. In our passage today, Jesus (addressing sinner’s see v.1) is going to reveal the heart of God toward lost sinners: 1. THE SUFFERING HEART OF GOD (v.8a) 2. THE SEARCHING HEAR

    Can A Christian Be Lost Again?

    Contributed by Michael Stark on Jan 7, 2012
     | 4,162 views

    Eternal life means unending life; this is what Christ offers. Some, however, are convinced that His gift is probationary. The life He offers is meant to encourage us, and not to intimidate us.

    “My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me. I give them eternal life, and they will never perish, and no one will snatch them out of my hand. My Father, who has given them to me, is greater than all, and no one is able to snatch them out of the Father’s hand. I and the Father ...read more
