    Part of God’s Team: Our Primary Identity (2 Thessalonians 3:1-5) 1. Immaturity begins with birth: at first, it is all about us. 2. Some mature more than others. 3.Typically, we then are wrapped up in our families, which are extensions of ourselves. Some never advance beyond this. 4. If so, ...read more

    In a world torn apart by war, tribulations, famine and hardship, God's love is still constant and visible in the love of Christ. We may have questions about the presence of evil, but that does not equate to a passive God, as He continues to love His own a

    Romans 8: 35-38 A time of war is a difficult time. It usually a time when questions are raised, some questions we may find answers to them, others we may never find visible answers, yet it does not mean that there are no answers to those, it may just mean that we are not able to see the answers to ...read more

     | 4,096 views

    The last burning question that was asked: How do I know God’s will? Simply put: by learning to wait on the Lord. However, waiting is active not passive. Through Samuel we can gain some insight into how we might go about this.

    The Burning Question How Do I Know God’s Will? March 9, 2008 1 Samuel 3:1-11 Well, this is a tricky one. In fact there are really no easy answers. Basically I want to suggest an emphasis today. This is what has worked for me and for thousands of others who follow Jesus. It works like this. How do ...read more

    A healthy church functions like a well-orchestrated body—each member contributing uniquely, speaking truth in love, and allowing God's Word to transform our community from within.

    Healthy Church Growing Together in Christ Introduction A healthy church isn't merely a gathering of individuals under one roof but a living organism where every member functions in harmony toward a divine purpose.

    The times, like those of post-Exilic Jerusalem, require us to wait. Will it be passive, impassive, or active waiting? Active waiting means seeing that what God has done He will do again. God will enlist us and shape us to work for His purposes.

    “We wait. We are bored. No, don’t protest, we are bored to death, there’s no denying it. … A diversion comes along and what do we do? We let it go to waste . . . .In an instant all will vanish and we’ll be alone once more, in the midst of nothingness!” So speaks one of the characters in Samuel ...read more

    Jesus associated with sinners because their repentance brings great joy to heaven. The parables’ drama is built on the tension of an attempt to find what is lost. If the lost were important to Jesus, they should be important to His disciples.

    LUKE 15: 1-10 [PARABLES IN LUKE] SEEKING SINNERS [Jesus, Friend of Sinners] Why seek sinners? Chapter 15 contains three linked parables that explain why Jesus associates with sinners. Jesus associated with sinners who recognized their need of salvation and because their repentance brings ...read more
