  • God's Plan For Faith

    Contributed by David Scudder on Sep 5, 2010
     | 3,607 views

    Last time we learned that the purpose of faith was to make the invisible things of God real and to produce confidence in God's promises. Today we'll learn that real faith in God produces three very important things in a believer's life.

    God will give to commercial Babylon exactly what she deserves, even the world system of commercialism if that is what the Great city Babylon is, and I am leaning in that direction.

    Elijah the great prophet shows us his humanity when he panics after a triumphant encounter with Baal worshipers. But God never gives up on him, God feeds him, shelters him, and speaks to him, not in the thunder, but in a still quiet voice.

    based on 1 rating
     | 7,991 views

    November 1989: We are at bottom grateful for spiritual values rather than material ones. Ultimate thanksgiving will be to sing praises in a global community and in recognition of our deliverance.

    On the surface, Thanksgiving seems like a holiday designed to celebrate the American experience of material fulfillment.

    We tend to see only what we expect to see, and thus at Christmas we do not see the glory and majesty of the Christ child in the homeless, the downtrodden, the ashamed.

    They say that "seeing is believing". Well, that depends. That depends on whether you can trust your eyesight. And it depends on whether you have decided to see what is really there or just what you think is there. "Seeing is believing." It depends on whether you can trust your eyesight. My ...read more

    Energy and passion in worship are fine, but they must push us toward authentic living and toward dedicated mission, else they will be destructive.

    I could not help noticing this car that morning. It was a tiny little car, one of those that looks like a sardine can on wheels. The rust spots and the dents suggested that it had survived more than its share of bumps and bruises. But that was not all that made me notice this little puddle ...read more

    If one is going to live according to the principles & promises laid out here by our Lord in the beatitudes, he will suffer rejection from the world. Yet, through it all, he can be doubly blessed.

    In the Beatitudes, Jesus describes the qualities found in the lives of those who are truly happy. Not in the temporary, circumstantial sense which the world talks about, but in the eternal, ultimate sense which the world knows nothing about. He tells us that true happiness comes when one gains the ...read more

    Stop putting so much effort in trying to win back former church attenders and go after the people no other churches want.

    I. Introduction A. This evening I want us to think outside the box: 1. That is, outside of the box that is the 4 walls of this church. 2.
