    This is the second message in a study of the sixth beatitude. The reward for the pure in heart is that they will "see God." How does that promise relate to the resurrection, and how does it relate to this life? What is biblical impact of seeing God?

    Persecuted: Why? Series

    Contributed by Richard Tow on May 1, 2023
    based on 2 ratings
     | 2,617 views

    The Beatitudes are a beautiful picture of the character of Christ and of consecrated Christians. Why would such a lifestyle depicted in the first seven beatitudes provoke persecution rather than admiration and esteem?

    Intro In our study of the Beatitudes, we come to the eighth beatitude. It is recorded in Matthew 5:10: “Blessed are those who are persecuted for righteousness' sake, For theirs is the kingdom of heaven.”i The reward declared in this final beatitude is the same as declared in the first ...read more

    Essentials Of Faith

    Contributed by Richard Tow on Sep 4, 2023

    In this exposition of Hebrews 11:1-6, the nature of faith (v. 1), understanding by faith (v. 3), and essentials of faith (v. 6) are explored. "Without faith it is impossible to please God." Therefore, the subject is of supreme importance.

We will begin by reading the first six verses. “Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. 2 For by it the elders obtained a good testimony. 3 By faith we understand that the worlds were framed by ...read more

    In the parable of the Minas, or what I am calling, “Minas and Me,” we are looking at the meaning behind the parable and the minas Jesus used as an example. And what the parable says, and what the minas mean, will define our mission until Jesus returns.

    Contributed by Rick Crandall on May 18, 2024
     | 1,650 views

    Great Reasons why God wants us to forgive one another: 1. Our forgiveness helps pass God's grace on to others (vs. 29). 2. Not forgiving gives pain to God (vs. 30). 3. None of us is perfect (vs. 31-32). 4. We have God’s power at work in our hearts (vs. 31-32).
