    Why He chose us, in Christ, before the foundation of the world. (#3 in the "Every Spiritual Blessing" series)

    Over the past couple of weeks we’ve looked closely at the content of these opening verses of Paul’s letter to the Ephesians, and I can say here that we haven’t done more than scratch the surface of the volumes that could be said and written about them. But as much as we have discussed them, we ...read more

    1. Just how much should we worry about our physical needs? 2. Where are we on God’s scale of importance in regards to the rest of His glorious creation? 3. We spend so much time on our priorities, what does God consider important?

    One of the spiritual blessings referred to in verse 3 is this: chosen in Him, before the foundation of the world! (#2 in the "Every Spiritual Blessing" series)

    Last week we began our study in Paul’s letter to the Ephesians, and we saw that God has blessed us with ‘every spiritual blessing’ in the Heavenly places, in Christ.

    The woman who anointed Christ regardless of what others knew or thought about her, and her act of love is memorialized by Christ. I believe that scripture shows us this woman has a name -- Mary the sister of Martha and Lazarus.

    By Pastor Milton O. Bradford, Good Hope Baptist Church Cleveland Ohio Luke 7:36-50 And one of the Pharisees desired him that he would eat with him. And he went into the Pharisee’s house, and sat down to meat. And, behold, a woman in the city, which was a sinner, when she knew that Jesus sat at ...read more

    There's A Reason For God's Answer To Your Question

    based on 31 ratings
     | 6,567 views

    When we ask God "why" He doesn’t always give us a seemingly direct answer or any answer at all. Why does God do that? This text addresses the deep no answers of God.

    September 18, 2006 Romans 11:33-36 Oh, the depth of the riches of the wisdom and knowledge of God! How unsearchable his judgments, and his paths beyond tracing out! "Who has known the mind of the Lord? Or who has been his counselor?" "Who has ever given to God, that God should repay him?" ...read more

    Proverbs 26:27 "Whoso diggeth a pit shall fall therein: and he that rolleth a stone, it will return upon him."

    Whoso Diggeth a Pit Turn to Pr 26:27. Here we find the words of the wisest of all men save the Lord Jesus Christ, giving account of a plan that was designed, it was well though out and yet it failed. At first glance at this verse I think of the oddest image in my mind. I think of a cartoon. The ...read more

    This message talks about the importance of being real & transparent before God...

    Genesis 3:1-7 You may be seated in the presence of the Lord. This text bothers me, and it bothers me for a few reasons on today.

    The Truth About The Teaching

    Contributed by Ralf Bergmann on Sep 14, 2004

     | 4,254 views

    What kind of first impression of the Christian faith do we leave with those that we meet? If like Paul, we proclaim ourselves as followers of Christ, how loud would our proclamation be if it were under punishment of death?

    Lady Wisdom explains her sheer delight in being in the presence of Almighty God and witnessing His glory and grandeur. We are encouraged to join her in amazement at God’s ability to construct and sustain the Universe as well as our lives.

    The Delight of Wisdom Proverbs 8:22-31 Throughout our study of Proverbs we have examined the best practical advice for living life that the world has ever known. The broad range of Solomon’s advice to his son is just as relevant, just as applicable today as it was in the day in which these lessons ...read more
