    Are you in a position where all self-sufficiency is gone? As you turn your eyes on the Lord and put your hope in Him, you have God’s reassuring promise that you need nothing more.

    Opening illustration: A wise Bible teacher once said, “Sooner or later God will bring self-sufficient people to the place where they have no resource but Him – no strength, no answers, nothing but Him. Without God’s help, they are sunk.” He then told of a despairing man who confessed to his ...read more

    Your Heart Condition Before God Series

    Contributed by Brad Beaman on Apr 9, 2022
     | 3,028 views

    It is your heart that determines your usability. Maybe you are not the obvious choice for some position. The lesser known man who has the heart of God prevailed in the case of David. God’s principle remains the same.

    When God looks at you He does not see your height or weight or any warts or blemishes. God sees your heart and He sees you for your heart. How pure is your heart before God? This is the story of the anointing of David, the king of Israel. The setting begins with King Saul. Saul took leadership ...read more

    The exposition of Romans 4:1-3 examines Abraham's justification by faith. Paul supports his position that Abraham was justified by faith (not works) using Genesis 15:6 as his text.

    Every Christian possesses the fruit of the Holy Spirit; we have to nourish them so they grow. The fruit are positive characteristics; gifts; we cannot manufacture them, and certainly cannot witness without displaying them.

    Contributed by Mark Roper on Nov 26, 2007
    based on 4 ratings
     | 2,677 views

    The whole idea of sharing our treasure seems to run counter to man’s nature, that is - to do our own thing, to think only of ourselves first.

    Ministering is Sharing our Treasures Psalm 126:6 A couple of years ago, Tim Forneris, a 22 year old groundskeeper gave Mark McGwire, a million dollar ball, saying "I think I have something that belongs to you."
