    The Word has established him, strengthen him & transformed him, but he is still in need of more of God, more of God's enabling & more of God's Word.The final meditation is from one who knows what it is like to to go astray & be brought back home again.

    PSALM 119: 169–176 [The Ministry of The Word Series] THE FINAL CRY AND CONFESSION The Psalmist has now come to his last stanza.

    The Resurrection: The King Is Alive Series

    Contributed by Russ Barksdale on Apr 10, 2019
     | 6,792 views

    You ask me what is the most important feature or belief of the Christian faith, and I will say without a doubt, it is the resurrection of Jesus Christ. Disprove it, and the entire belief system disintegrates.

    The Resurrection Mark 16:1-7 The King is Alive John 3:16: “God so loved the world that He gave His one and only Son, that whoever will believe in Him will not perish, but have everlasting and eternal life.” 1 Peter 3:18: “For Christ also suffered for sins once for all, the righteous for the ...read more

    The Temptations Of Jesus

    Contributed by Christian Cheong on Aug 21, 2013

     | 6,359 views

    The temptations expose our vulnerabilities. Beware of the devil's traps of performance (we are what we do), popularity (we are what others think), and possession (we are what we have).

    Jesus was tempted, so are we today. Jesus overcame the temptations, so can we today. • Even under a direct confrontation with the devil, alone in the wilderness, under harsh circumstances, Jesus won. If the devil tempts Him these ways, it would possibly mean that these were good entry ...read more

    HoHum: Struggling church- “God has not called us to be successful. He has just called us to be faithful.” This one is in the same vein: “God wants faithfulness, not fruitfulness.” WBTU: These statements are half true. There is a Yiddish proverb that says: “A ...read more

    Be Strong And Work Series

     | 12,123 views

    The people were discouraged at the modest structure of the new Temple as they started rebuilding it. God assured them of His presence, His promise, and His power. The future glory of this present house will be greater than the glory of the former house.

    Let’s recap. The Israelites came back from 70-years of captivity in Babylon. • They rebuilt the altar and started work on the Temple but the local Samaritans opposed them (cf. Ezra 3). • They were so discouraged they stopped work for some 16 years. Nothing was done to God’s house while they busy ...read more

    Paul brought in the dimension of time and urges the believers to "wake up, clean up, and dress up" in the light of the nearness of Jesus' return. Let us live with this end in mind and watch what we leave behind.

    Paul has been addressing the conduct of Christians since the start of Rom 12. • It is the life of those who have believed the Gospel that he laid out in Rom 1-11. • The right belief will lead to the right conduct. As followers of Christ living in a paganistic society like Rome, the readers’ ...read more

    Jesus challenged the Pharisees..... religion is useless and worthless, ineffective when it substitutes a human plan of salvation for God's plan of redemption; when it rests upon man's works. (Illus. Pharisee robes and rules.) (Illus. what people do to look better)

    In Jesus Holy Name Pentecost XIV August 29, 2021 Text: Mark 7:1-14 “Looking Good Is Not Enough” Recently “People” magazine selected the 50 most beautiful people in the world, I wasn't on the list. It was quite a blow. Years ago Cindy Crawford was a heartthrob for many men and ...read more

    The darkness in this world spreads, but the light of Christ shines. And it illumines us and radiates through us to the world.

    I want to draw your attention again to the beginning of this passage, where it say, “When he had gone out…” (John 13:31). Who is John talking about here? Who is it that has just “gone out”? It’s Judas, isn’t it? If you rewind a few verses in this thirteenth chapter of John, you see that Jesus is ...read more

    Learning from the experience of Mary Magdalene. Don't let emotions blind us to the truth. Don't let circumstances blind us to His presence. Remember what He has said.

    Jesus has risen. The tomb was empty. The stone covering it has been rolled away. • God has accepted the sacrifice of Jesus on the cross. He died on behalf of sinners and paid the penalty of our sin. God raised him from the dead on the third day • The disciples were told of this before it ...read more

    It is only in Jesus Christ that we are reconciled to God, to each other, to creation, and to truth itself.

    Paul wrote this letter to the church at Colossae because they were in danger of being turned into Gnostics. Now, we aren’t in danger of turning into Gnostics, are we? I mean, how many of you woke up this morning and said to yourself, “you know, this Gnosticism stuff - I think I’d really better look ...read more
