    "Weeping may endure for the night, but joy comes in the morning" (Psalm 30:5).

    A JOYFUL TESTIMONY. Psalm 30. The junior members of the drama group were playing the part of carol singers in the musical play Toad of Toad Hall.

    Waiting on the Lord entails patient faith and is rewarded by His strength.

    "They That Wait" Is. 40:29-31 He gives strength to the weary and increases the power of the weak. 30 Even youths grow tired and weary, and young men stumble and fall; 31 but those who hope in the LORD will renew their strength.

    Leadership Traits Series

    Contributed by Jim Drake on Feb 8, 2009
    based on 5 ratings
     | 9,343 views

    What do you picture when you think of a leader? What traits do you think a leader should have? Our passage today tells us what Nehemiah’s leadership traits were, and they might surprise you.

    http://brushforkbanner.blogspot.com/ It’s time for us to rethink our picture of leadership in the church. And, by the way, when we talk about leadership in the context of Nehemiah, we’re not talking specifically about pastoral leadership. If anything, Ezra is the model for pastoral leadership. ...read more

    God enables the growth which obtains the prize.

    Scripture Introduction Some say that you know you are old when you quit looking forward and only look back. Maybe some truth hides in that slogan? As we grow older, we do reminisce more about the past and become less interested in changing for the future. This is one reason dying congregations ...read more

    Text: “Not everyone who says to Me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ shall enter the kingdom of heaven…” (Matthew 7:21). How many of you are thoroughly convinced and know without a shadow of doubt that you will enter the kingdom of heaven? As Christians, all of us are sure that this is ...read more

    Winnowing Fan ... Threshing Floor

    The final judgment of God will separate between the saved and the unsaved like the threshing separates the chaff during harvest.

    Before the Industrial Revolution of the 1800’s which introduced mechanized farming methods, different tools were used in the process undertaken during the harvest of cereals (wheat, maize, barley, rice etc.). The cereal crop was usually beaten out on a hard threshing-floor using threshing-tool ...read more

    based on 14 ratings
     | 5,684 views

    I remember as a kid watching the TV series called "KUNG FU" staring David Caradine. The blind Master Po (Keye Luke) calls his young student "GRASSHOPPER" to "EXPECT THE UNEXPECTED". We are not grasshoppers but we are called to BEWARE.

    Part 14 - Matthew 10:18-19 - GRASSHOPPER, EXPECT THE UNEXPECTED! A friend of mine works as a boilermaker in Bowen, Queensland Australia. He is a big man with muscles like an Olympic weight lifter, a voice that booms and a laugh that is full and infectious. PATRICK PATTERSON loves the Lord and if ...read more

    Wisdom is a key aspect of a disciple's life. God provides it in a number of ways, including through the trials of life.

    In 1999, State Farm Insurance rated the most dangerous intersections for accidents in the United States.
