     | 14,301 views

    Today we’ll be reflecting on how important “listening” is when it comes to our relationship with God and to what the Corinthians were not hearing.

    1 Samuel 3:1-10 1 Corinthians 6:(9-18) 19-20; 10:13 1 Kings 8:27 One activity that human beings really aren’t very good at is listening. It’s surprising, really. There doesn’t seem to be much to the art of listening – you just sit there and nod your head at the ...read more

    A Stormy Transformation

    : God demonstrated resurrection power to His disciples but their immediate response did not reproduce His power in them. It was only when they followed in obedience that they too received that power. God is still in the miracle working business today.

    I'm having amnesia and déjà vu at the same time. I think I've forgotten this before. A Stormy Transformation Text: John 20 & Acts 4; Luke 16 A man named Carl and his wife were ready to get a divorce. They had each had affairs and had completely destroyed their trust in one another.

    Whether God’s Word gets through to us or not depends on our attitudes. Is yours a closed mind? A superficial mind, a distracted mind, or a willing mind? It is only when you really listen and obey can your life be changed and you become productive and use

    A consequence of God's wrath is giving those who reject Him exactly what they asked for.

    We have been looking and examining the wrath of God. As we have noted before, few people in the world have any real fear of God and His wrath. God wrath has an end time or eschatological element and present reality. We understand the punishment at the end of time. Revelation 20:15 (NKJV) And ...read more

    based on 4 ratings
     | 11,128 views

    However you look at this story, the emphasis always appears to Thomas or us doubting, suggesting that we lack faith. It is not all to do with us; God has a role in our faith and we must let him work through us. We just cannot carry that burden alone.

    Herod's despotic rule has been demonstrated by many of his security measures to suppress his people's contempt towards him, especially Jews. For instance, it has been suggested that Herod used secret police to monitor and report the feelings of the general populace toward him.

    490 Times?

    Contributed by David Dunn on Oct 8, 2025
     | 191 views

    Forgiveness isn’t counted but lived—when we release others, God releases us, mercy triumphs, and faith regains its power to move mountains.

    Mercy triumphs over judgment — that’s what the Word of God says. And if we’re honest, every one of us here needs mercy. We’ve needed it before, we’ll need it again before the day’s over. If it weren’t for the mercy and compassion of God, where would we be? Utterly consumed. Gone. Done for. But His ...read more
