    Your Plans-God's Plans Series

    Contributed by Brian Williams on Sep 6, 2022
     | 1,313 views

    Jesus gloried God! He wanted people to see God’s holiness, His power, His mercy, His heart, His longsuffering. And that’s why He went to the cross. It not only manifested the depth of our sin, it also manifested the magnitude of God’s love for this world.

    The God of Heaven who saves you wants to call you and give you a job—something worth doing. But, you cannot build without a foundation, and that foundation is the Lord Jesus Christ.

    Take your Bibles, please, and be finding the Book of Nehemiah. Nehemiah, chapter 2, and verse 11—page 783, if you have one like I have. Well, all right, the Book of Nehemiah. We’re thinking, this morning, on this particular subject: “Let Us Arise and Build”—“Let ...read more

    Lord, What Do You Want Me To Do?

    based on 4 ratings
     | 17,353 views

    Each and every one of us have a purpose. God desires for each of us to know Him though His Son. But beyond salvation, He has a plan for each of us. Eventually, we must ask the question Saul of Tarsus asked: "Lord, what do You want ME to do?"

    Key Verse: 6a Introduction Q: “Lord, what do you want me to do?” What a question! What a novel idea! Asking the Creator what He desires of His creation. You might say that Saul was a “religious man.” Actually he was a very religious man! He knew how to pray. He had devoted himself to the ...read more

    What God Is Looking For…

    Contributed by Thomas Bowen on May 7, 2009
     | 1,879 views

    After seeing the disciples of Jesus hiding in the upper room it is hard to imagine that they had any vision of their own. That is why it is important to understand how God sees things and what he is watching for.

    Last week we looked at the slowness of Easter’s arrival for the disciples. They were locked away in a room. They were full of fear and doubts. Jesus appears, it would be easy to claim that that fixed everything for the disciples. But it did not; we know that if we read through the different ...read more

    We expect the big things from Jesus, and are thrilled with them. But here he is, doing a rather small miracle that seems a little out of place. But what is going on, and what can we learn from it?
