    Contributed by John Lowe on Jan 17, 2020
     | 2,083 views

    Gaal’s aim was not to regain Shechem's liberty, but instead, to change their tyrant: "O that this people were under my hand! What I would do!—I would remove Abimelech from his kingly office, and rid Shechem of him, and all the country round about, and indeed remove him out of the world.

    Chapter 41 Gaal’s Call to Rebellion [Judges 9.26-9.29] Scripture: Judges 9:26-29 (KJV) 26 And Gaal the son of Ebed came with his brethren, and went over to Shechem: and the men of Shechem put their confidence in him. 27 And they went out into the fields, and gathered their vineyards, and ...read more

     | 1,397 views

    GOD’s Plans are best and in HIS own timing. How many times have we tried to take matters in our own hands, only to find that had we waited on the LORD, HIS plans would have been fulfilled. But "The GOD Who sees" will redirect us when we go off track.

    Jabez: Overcoming The Significance Of A Sorrowful Name

    Contributed by Sterling Franklin on Aug 7, 2011
    based on 4 ratings
     | 17,865 views

    Jabez' mother named him 'Sorrow,' but the LORD kept this man of prayer from experiencing it. We ought to pray faithfully to God, asking Him to help us in any weighty task and to bring about what is dear to our hearts and according to His will.

    Turn to 1 Chronicles 4... In the book of 1 Chronicles, there is a man given honor in the middle of a genealogy of very important people, including many kings. His name is short, so we don't have a Maher-shalal-hash-baz. We have Jabez, essentially pronounced "Ya-Bates" in Hebrew. Many have ...read more

    I made up in mind every time I get a chance, every time I get an opportunity, to say thank you unto God, I am going to open up my mouth, I am going to raise my hands, and I am going to tell God, “thank you!” Is there anybody here that just wants to tell

    My father’s children there is not doubt in my mind, that the reason I am able to stand here before is because God has blessed me with two wonderful parents.

     | 6,594 views

    There’s times when we’re seemingly dealt one crummy hand after another. It’s in times like these when there’s really not much we can do but groan with deep frustration in prayer, and place our hope in in God that he’ll turn our groans to glory.

    INTRO The other day I needed to take my mind off things, so I opened my computer and played a game of hearts. Now, for those of you who’ve never played hearts, the object of the game is to score as few points as possible. You do this by trying to pass all your hearts to your three ...read more

     | 5,280 views

    Jehovah-Shalom; God is Peace. Do we have God's kind of peace in our lives or are we settling for something less? God's peace is bestowed not earned. The saying, "No Jesus, No Peace; Know Jesus, Know Peace" may seem like a bumper sticker slogan but there is truth in it!

    Getting To Know God - Part 6 - The God of Peace Please stand as we read our newest memory Scripture together … Jude 1:24-25 “To Him who is able to keep you from stumbling and to present you before His glorious presence without fault and with great joy – “To the only God our Savior be glory, ...read more

     | 1,303 views

    This delightful Psalm sees the pilgrims arrive at Jerusalem and in the Temple where they encourage the Temple night watchmen to bless the LORD. A prayer is that the LORD will bless from Zion, and He certainly did and does. Blessings have come from Calvary in Zion. Bless the Lord!

     | 68 views

    Where have they gone? I am losing all my friends and it is accelerating. This examination is on the passing of a Christian from earth, or if you like, the removal of Christ’s sheep into the heavenly fold. This subject is sad for some, but for all Christians it ought to be understood.

    Pause and imagine Joseph explaining everything to his parents. “Yes, mom, as I told you earlier. Mary is a good young lady, and we didn’t do anything. She is “with child” because of the Holy Spirit, and I didn’t lay a hand on her. I know it’s hard to believe, but I promise you it’s true.”
