     | 2,116 views

    Today we are going back to the OT days of Nehemiah to see how the people of that day listened or just heard God's Word. God has brought us here today, not just to hear a sermon, but to listen as God speaks to our heart.

    When you come to a service like this or attend a Bible study class, do you just hear what is said or do you listen? Is there a difference? For most of us listening is our most frequently used communication skill. Listening is a very important part of communication. One study points out that ...read more

    Contributed by Andrew Dixon on May 23, 2025
     | 634 views

    Through all the trial and hardships that came to David, he persevered because he found strength in the Lord and walked in His ways. If we too can recall God’s faithfulness and pray fervently, there will be nothing we need fear, because the Lord will stand by us to deliver us from all our troubles.

    We read in Psalm 84:5, “Blessed is the man whose strength is in You; Your ways are in their hearts.” (LITV) We are blessed when God is our strength If one were to ask the question, ‘Who is a blessed person or one who is blessed by God?’ the answer can be found in the above mentioned verse.
