    Blessed Are The Poor In Spirit: For Theirs Is The Kingdom Of Heaven Series

    Contributed by Claude Alexander on Jun 26, 2017
    based on 4 ratings
     | 13,360 views

    The first beatitude. Not the economically poor but those who are poor in spiritual qualities.

    Certain portions of Scripture seem to be etched more deeply into people's minds than others. Psalm 23 is definitely one of these, so also is I Corinthians 13 and Hebrews 11. The Sermon on the Mount, as Matthew chapters 5-7 is commonly called, is another. Its popularity may stem from its position ...read more

     | 2,808 views

    At some point we all have to make the same choice the Rich Man was faced with when he encountered Jesus in Mark 10:17-31. Will you be willing to give everything up to follow Him?

    SPELUNKING How many here are familiar with the practice of exploring caves or spelunking? How many of you have ever gone spelunking? How many enjoy just saying the word spelunking? It’s like the sound water makes when it drops in a bucket… spelunking. It’s a fun word! And it’s an even more fun ...read more

    In order to inherit the blessings of the kingdom of heaven we must humble ourselves and admit our spiritual poverty.

    "We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness."

    This message encourages the believer to stay afloat during the most turbulent storms by keeping a Heavenly focus.

    The text;Colossians 3:1-4 If ye then be risen with Christ, seek those things which are above, where Christ sitteth on the right hand of God. Set your affection (mind) on things above, not on things on the earth. For ye are dead (died), and your life is hid with Christ in God. When Christ, who ...read more

     | 64,389 views

    People often wonder “why didn’t God help me?” “why didn’t God answer me?” ”Where was God when I needed him?” Often the answer to these questions is that we allowed ourselves to become distracted.

    Genesis 19 reads like a VIDEO GAME. It opens with a powerful weapon in the arsenal - Abraham's prayer (Genesis 18:23-32) which provides firecover throughout the story. The two angels that come into town are the heroes on a RESCUE MISSION from HIGH COMMAND

    based on 1 rating
     | 1,104 views

    The story of Balaam and his donkey, a bit of further explanation from Jesus. Sexual sin is destructive, are we the Church addressing it? True salvation and sanctification is a result of repentance.

    A warning about Deceivers, would your thoughts and actions cause a donkey to stop. Numbers 22 is an interesting chapter of scripture, in fact it’s a bit obscure and leaves us with a few questions, an important one gets answered by Jesus on the Island of Patmos, hold onto that thought.

    Anxiety (Part 2): Understanding Its Causes, Treatments, And Cases In The Bible" Series

    Contributed by Benjamin Utomo on Oct 7, 2021
     | 3,329 views

    Like worry, not all anxiety is sinful. Unfortunately, anxiety is often a result of sin. If that was the case, the cure is to deal with the sin.

    Introduction Last week, we learned about five types of anxiety, their symptoms, and how the Bible shows Jacob, Moses, Queen Esther, and Martha experienced anxiety. So, the Bible does talk about anxiety and how it steals peace and joy from our hearts. And more than that, it hinders us from being ...read more

    The command to become poor for the Gospel’s sake is really a liberation to preach the Gospel.

    Tuesday of Second Week in Easter John 3 Today’s reading from Acts is a little scary. We always worry about the preaching of the Gospel, lest it impact on our lifestyle. It looks today as if Luke is telling us to sell our property and give it to the poor or to the community for the poor. A ...read more

    The last of three parables in Matthew following Jesus’ teaching on end times. Perhaps what is most important is to realize that what we don’t do could be more important than what we do as followers of Jesus.

    The Parables of Jesus Goats and Sheep Matthew 25:31-46 September 13, 2009 This week we are going to look at the last parable of three that deals with the end times or judgment when Jesus comes again. The first two are the parables of the ten virgins and the talents. This week is the parable of the ...read more

    The Church at Smyrna is a church which received no criticism from the Lord but much abuse from both the culture and the "congregation" (those who ’say’ they are Jews)

    The Unveiling The “Beat Up” or “Bloodied” Church Revelation 2:8-11 * From my observation we live in an increasingly violent culture.

    The beatitudes, what are they all about? Why are these people blessed, to be poor in spirit brings blessing but why?

    The Beatitudes. Matthew 5:1-12 Interestingly enough when we think about beatitudes we often get this sought of thinking going on that these things, poorness of spirit, mourning, etc should be our attitudes. However the word beatitude comes from the Latin word for ‘blessed’, ...read more
