    Four Men Of Faith And Action

    Contributed by Ray Ellis on Jun 7, 2011
    based on 1 rating
     | 16,144 views

    Bringing people to Jesus is a partnership. We encourage one another to witness and tell the good news to others about Jesus and His forgiving power. Jesus alone can forgive sin.

    Four Men of Faith Mark 2:1-12 One of the challenges we have in witness to people who have not yet become believers is to communicate in a language they understand. Sometimes our tendency is to use language of the church, “Christianize.” Words like regeneration, propitiation, ...read more

I will give her her vineyards from there, And the Valley of Achor as a door of hope; she shall sing there, as in the days of her youth, as in the day when she ...read more

     | 2,070 views

    The world sees a phrase like "you are just, O Lord" and "sinlessness" and thinks they are a foreign tongue. But we need to turn the world on its head so they can see the need for forgiveness, and its availability.

    The Shavuot Pentecost Event Is Important For Us

    based on 4 ratings
     | 7,886 views

    Why did God send his Spirit on that day (Shavuot) in particular, and why is it important for us today?

    I’m going to ask and briefly answer three questions: Why were there ‘God-fearing Jews from every nation’ staying in Jerusalem (1:5) on the day of Pentecost (1:1)? Why did God choose that day to fill those first Jewish believers in Jesus with the Holy Spirit (1:4)? And what do those events mean for ...read more

    Ezekiel prophesies to the mountains and uses some strong language to describe the false gods and idolatry of God

    In Ezekiel chapter 6, Ezekiel’s dramatic visual aids are lessened. Except for his facing the mountains of Israel in a symbolic fashion, this text is pretty much proclamation of God’s message without much dramatization. The message, however, remains strong and powerful. This was a ...read more
