Praying With Good King Hezekiah

Contributed by Reuben Bredenhof on Feb 22, 2021

Looking back on the last few months, do you feel like you’ve been praying more, or is it less? Is this a practice that has been strengthened with you, or has it struggled? Has the seeking become less diligent, or the knocking not so confident? A praying Christian is a living Christian!

In Luke 11:9 Jesus says these words to us, “Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you.” Simple commands, yet astonishing. For his words reveal the great privilege that we have when we pray. This is the heavenly power that we access whenever we ...read more

Esther Series

Contributed by John Lowe on Mar 3, 2022

Mordecai, Esther's uncle, offended a high court official called Haman, who decided to kill not only Mordecai but all the Jews in the Persian empire. Esther turned the tables on Mordecai. She pleaded with the King, and Haman was punished – hanged on the very gallows he had built for Mordecai.

The story of Esther centers around Queen Vashti, King Ahasuerus, Esther, Mordecai, Haman, and the Jewish people. If you are not already familiar with these individuals, they have been briefly introduced to us in the following paragraphs. Who was Esther? 1. Queen Vashti disobeyed the drunken orders ...read more

God's Power At Work Series

Contributed by Simon Bartlett on Sep 18, 2023

Luke starts Acts with, 'In the first book, O Theophilus, I have dealt with all that Jesus BEGAN to do and teach...' Now he's going to talk about what Jesus CONTINUED to do. In Acts 16 we have a great example of Jesus witnessing to himself - and Paul and Silas fitting in.

Acts 16 God’s power at work Let’s suppose you hear God speaking to you, telling you to do something. You do what God tells you. But then, within a short time, the situation looks a complete mess. What would you think? Did you hear wrong? Has God let you down? Let’s suppose God calls you to ...read more

Are Leaders Appointed By God Or Does He Allow Them?

Contributed by Dr. Craig Nelson on Nov 14, 2024

Is God responsible and 'endorses' or 'allows' every individual who is raised to a position of power and authority, such as Governors, Senators, Representatives, Mayors, and Presidents?

"Let everyone be subject to the governing authorities, for there is no authority except that which God has established. The authorities that exist have been established by God. Consequently, whoever rebels against the authority is rebelling against what God has instituted, and those who do so ...read more

From Joseph To Moses And Aaron.

Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Jan 21, 2025

The LORD our God was the One who called for the famine, but He had already sent Joseph ahead of Israel into Egypt. He turned the heart of the Egyptians to hate His people, but sent Moses and Aaron to bring them out of Egypt. He shows Himself Sovereign over all things.

FROM JOSEPH TO MOSES AND AARON. Psalm 105:16-26. 1. The Sending of Joseph. Psalm 105:16-22. PSALM 105:16. It is the LORD our God who “called for a famine upon the land: He brake the whole staff of bread.” Bread, or any staple, is aptly called ‘the staff of life’ – for without his staff man ...read more

Doxology Of Jude Series

Contributed by Rev. Dr. Andrew B Natarajan on Dec 21, 2023

A benediction flows from God to His people. It’s God announcing a blessing over His people. A Doxology moves in the opposite direction; it’s the people of God blessing Him as they worship, adore and exalt His name. Doxology is a praise; it’s adoration; it’s exalting God.

Jude 1:24-25 Doxology “Now to Him who is able to protect you from harm and to place you before His glory blameless with great joy, to the only God our Savior through Jesus Christ our Lord is glory, majesty, might, and authority from every age and now and into all ages. Amen.” Introduction: A ...read more

Welcome To The New Old Year

Contributed by Dr. Ronald Shultz on Dec 31, 2023

There is nothing new under the sun as God has seen it all and handled it all.

What we forget about God sometimes is that He is the master of time and for Him it does not exist. What is present to us is past to Him as is all the rest of what we call time. He has seen the future from before the foundation of the world. Worried about 2024? To Him it is a done deal and ...read more

Be Careful When Advising People In God’s Will

Contributed by Samuel M on Jan 14, 2024

So many times, we have become like Job’s friends, who have not spoken the right words about or from God to our friends like Job who are suffering in God’s will. We have spoken Godly words, but some or all of these words are not from God.

And so it was, after the LORD had spoken these words to Job, that the LORD said to Eliphaz the Temanite, “My wrath is aroused against you and your two friends, for you have not spoken of Me what is right, as My servant Job has.” Job 42:7 So many times, we have become like Job’s friends, who have ...read more

Joseph as a type of Jesus.

ALL THINGS FOR GOOD. Genesis 50:15-21.

7. Joseph - Let Down And Lifted Up Series

Contributed by Bob Marcaurelle on Aug 14, 2023

Joseph was let down by his family, by a woman he would not be tempted by and by a man he helped. He may have been tempted to see all this as being let down by God, but he didn't. He remained faithful and God raised him up and raised the nation that gave Jesus to you and me.

From Adam to Malachi Sermon 7 7. JOSEPH- LET DOWN AND LIFTED UP For two long days and nights the eyes and prayers of America turned toward Midland, Texas, where little Jessica McClure lay deep in a well.
