    based on 4 ratings
     | 14,412 views

    In the OT times the leaders would come to the prophet desiring God to show them the way for the nation through his prayers. They were willing to obey God even if it was unpleasant for them so that they would have a good relationship with their Father.

    Opening illustration: A mother was teaching her three-year-old daughter ‘The Lord’s Prayer.’ For several evenings at bedtime, she repeated it after her mother. One night she said she was ready to solo. The mother listened with pride, as she carefully enunciated each word right up ...read more

    Prayers From The Deep - Part 1 Series

    Contributed by Christopher Benfield on Mar 10, 2019
     | 6,567 views

    As Jonah found himself in the belly of a great fish, within the depths of the sea, he began to realize the sovereignty of God and his great need for Him. In his desperation, he cried out unto the Lord.

    Prayers from the Deep (Part 1) Jonah 1:17 – 2:10 We have come to the most familiar portion of the book of Jonah. Most people, even with limited exposure to the Bible, have heard the story of Jonah and the whale. While I will admit that was a miraculous event, it is not the focus of the book. We ...read more

    Contributed by John Lowe on Jun 3, 2022
     | 1,278 views

    Following the happy result of their conversation with the elders, Moses and Aaron are ready to go to Pharaoh. Undoubtedly, they have been emboldened by the elders’ acceptance of everything the Lord had told them to say. They performed the signs, and the elders believed.

    Daniel: A Man Of No Compromise Series

    Contributed by Brad Beaman on Feb 17, 2023
     | 5,322 views

    Daniel’s life from teenager to old man is an example of no compromise. He was not bent by outside pressures. What Daniel did or did not do was determined by his inward convictions and not the outward situations.

    Daniel: A Man of No Compromise Daniel 1 We often associate Daniel with the lion’s den. When we do that, we are looking at Daniel when he was an old man. He was a senior adult when he was thrown in the lion’s den. This account of Daniel where he is thrown in the fiery furnace is when he was a ...read more

    The Book Of Lamentations – Part 43 – Princes Were Abused And Young Men Forced Into Harsh Servitude By Ruthless Babylon - Lamentations 5:12-13 Series

    Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Oct 10, 2025
     | 212 views

    The description of horrible conditions continues, this time with degrading action against the princes, and terrible forced labour upon the young men. A conquering army often forces humiliation on the defeated people and treats them terribly. Symptomatic of a sinful world.

    THE BOOK OF LAMENTATIONS – PART 43 – PRINCES WERE ABUSED AND YOUNG MEN FORCED INTO HARSH SERVITUDE BY RUTHLESS BABYLON - Lamentations 5:12-13 The subject matter of Lamentations is not pleasant in most of its content, which is probably why it is rarely preached on, or taught. Here in chapter 5 we ...read more

    Life has its share of difficulty and uncertainty. At times, we all wonder where life will lead and how we will overcome the obstacles we face. Even in the worst of situations, we can take comfort knowing our sovereign Lord is in control.

    Sovereignty within Mayhem Esther 6:1-9 Although their hearts are not filled with joy, Mordecai and Esther must have been encouraged somewhat by her meeting with Ahasuerus. He had extended her favor, while granting her request. The banquet with the king and Haman was scheduled, and Esther would now ...read more

    This message seeks to uncover more of Satan’s motive and his reactions to God's holiness. It is important to know God's word, and the end times events, so we are united in the truth vs. man-made assumptions.

    An examination of the meeting of Jesus and Pontius Pilate and the lessons that can be gained from their encounter, concerning the nature of civil authority and our relationship to it.

    The Jewish authorities wanted Jesus dead but were unwilling to kill Him themselves because they did not wish to lose favor with the common people who believed in Jesus. They wanted Rome to do it. They wanted Rome to take the blame. The evil Jewish authorities played Pontius Pilate like a fiddle to ...read more

    I. A victorious Christian apprehends his righteousness II. A victorious Christian accepts his resources III. A victorious Christian appropriates his relationship

    The Victorious Life Ephesians 1:1-6 Far too many Christians are living below where they ought to be. The biggest reason for this is simply they have never discovered who they are in Christ.
