    Contributed by Brian Bill on Nov 25, 2006
    based on 4 ratings
     | 9,823 views

    When someone sins against us, we’re to talk first, then take others, then tell it to church, then treat as an unbeliever. But goal is always restoration.

He kept his eyes closed and said, “I don’t want to go to church; they don’t like me there.” She tried again, this time pleading with him to get ...read more

    based on 4 ratings
     | 5,802 views

    Jesus’ tormentors taunted Him, saying, "He saved others; He cannot save Himself." They unknowingly spoke the truth concerning Him. Indeed, He could not save Himself ... if we were to be saved.

    MATTHEW 27:42 ONE THING JESUS COULD NOT DO “He saved others; He cannot save himself.” Boisterous, mocking religious men surrounded the cross. Laughing at the helpless man hanging suspended between life and death, they belched out vile, venomous scorn. Among the taunts they hurled at Him as He ...read more

    A holy fear of the wicked heart of mankind is what is needed in the lives of Christians. Christians who grasp their authority in Christ have a fear of themselves and do not hold the grace of God in contempt.

    The one necessary ingredient for effective service before the Lord is power. This is what few contemporary Christians have, perhaps because they are uncertain what they should look for.

    You will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you, and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the end of the earth. When the disciples came down from the upper room, an impossible task loomed before them. They were charged to announce that Jesus ...read more
