    We must learn to regard God’s patience as salvation because it is exactly that. Without it we would be doomed to His wrath after our first failure or sin.

    1. Kid quotes about God’s patience – It seems they understand Him better than most adults do. a. "God waits until he gets his turn," says Savannah, age 5. b. God has patience with us "by waiting in line," says Ashton, 5 c. "God has patience with me and everyone else because we all mess up a lot," ...read more

    It is necessary for the church to be involved in community participation and action in light of Christ’s imminent return. I believe that there are three reasons why we need to establish and support biblical community within the church in these Last Days –

     | 3,087 views

    This is the 32nd sermon from a series on the Gospel of John. In this sermon we look at how Jesus delayed his coming to Mary and Martha after Lazarus' death, and why He did that. As well as why it's so important to know Jesus, rather than just know about Him.

    How Love Looks (Part 32) Text: John 11:1-16 Well it’s good to see you all this morning. Last Sunday, we had originally intended to go out to Arkansas to celebrate my dad’s birthday. And we did get to spend time with him on his birthday, but not at his house… in the hospital. I think most of you ...read more

    Our God is a God of Recovery. He is interested in your restoration. He is not happy when His children are not where they should be in this life. When you are lower in the status that heaven has ordained for you, heaven becomes concerned and questions the reasons.

    If you're going through a broken heart, a failed marriage, a financial disaster, a family heartache, an emotional meltdown, or a spiritual collapse, there is hope for your broken life. Jesus specializes in recovery and transformation. Our God is a God of Recovery, interested in restoring and ...read more

    If God was not longsuffering, the bible would've ended in three chapters. No one would've been here to read it except God and the unfallen angels. Oh how He loved us so! I am alive today for one reason; "The Longsuffering of God".

    Introduction: This is a subject near and dear to my heart. When I consider how much God loves me, my soul cringe within. I could be dead, but for the longsuffering of God. I have been through numerous experiences that placed my life on the verge of death. The Lord has delivered me from the mouth ...read more

    Do you think that all those geneologies in Genesis 5 are boring and there for no apparent reason? Learn the meaning of the names, and you will never look at this chapter the same!

    It is important to understand that in the Jewish Culture, names that were chosen were very significant. For example, Jesus means "savior", Moses means "to draw forth", and Isaac means "laughter", because Sara laughed when she was told that she would bear a child. If we examine the meanings of the ...read more
