    Ezra is the story of the Jews’ return to Jerusalem after almost a century exile in Babylon. When they returned, all they found were ruins. There was no temple, so the people felt spiritually unplugged. Ezra is a story of how they got plugged in.

     | 53,222 views

    Showing kindness to others is not only God’s command, but it also is the character of God. Perform acts of kindness toward strangers who cannot repay you and do it in Jesus’ name instead of your own.

    The Conspiracy of Kindness Ephesians 4:29-32 by David O. Dykes INTRODUCTION This world could use a little more kindness and love. Judson College in Alabama is a Baptist college for women.

    The Four Promises Of Forgiveness Series

    Contributed by Kenneth Squires on Apr 18, 2003
    based on 88 ratings
     | 14,985 views

    One of God’s favorite words is “forgiveness.” As we look at the first words of Jesus on that last day, we can’t help but say, “God really thinks this is important.”

    But Jesus was saying, “Father, forgive them, for they do not know what they are doing.” (Luke 23:34) Then Peter came to Jesus and asked, “Lord, how many times shall I forgive my brother when he sins against me? Up to seven times?” Jesus answered, “I tell you not seven times, but seventy-seven ...read more

    Giving With Grace Series

    based on 38 ratings
     | 13,882 views

    God not only required a tithe in the Old Testament, He challenged His people to respond to Him when He says, “Test me in this.” This is the only time in the Bible when God tells us to test Him.

    Giving With Grace That drama really captures the different attitudes that people have about giving. Some feel pressured or guilty, while others of us find a lot of joy when we give ­ if we remember to bring our wallets! That reminds me of a man and his son who went to church together. On their ...read more

     | 42,774 views

    God doesn’t cause trouble and adversity, but He uses trouble to refine some humility in us. While trouble causes some people to raise their faces to heaven and become bitter, others bow their knees before God and become better.

    Ignorance about your identity is bad, the day you know who you are in Christ is the day you have won the greatest battle.Therefore, if your purpose for living is discovered life has meaning.

    If you are embarking on a journey and you don’t have a destination someone will tell you where to go and the place he tells you to go might not be your actual destination. That is why we pray that prayer that God should arise and attack our ignorance, open our eyes and remove ignorance from our ...read more
