    God had an ultimate purpose for the barrenness of biblical women such as Hannah in the Old Testament and Elizabeth in the New Testament.

    Usually when we think about Hannah, no doubt we think about her prayer for a son. Today, let’s go deeper into the story and see that Hannah’s barrenness served a purpose. When we speak of women being barren in the Bible, it is usually in reference to a woman being childless. However, the word ...read more

    James is presenting practical Christianity. He has told us faith without works is dead. In other words a prayer that doesn't change our practices is powerless. Meeting Jesus changes us permanently and continually. This impacts our works and our words.

Remember that James and Jesus want us to not only be born again of the word but have it to take root in our lives and cause us to trust God more fully ...read more
