    The people returned to the sin of intermarriages with the foreigners. Nehemiah rebuked and corrected them. We see the need to guard our faith and pass on our faith. Nehemiah left a lasting legacy.

    As mentioned, the final chapter of Nehemiah did not end as most would have liked, as in fairy tales: “And the Israelites lived happily ever after.” • On his return to Jerusalem, Nehemiah was not only saddened, but for most parts, very angry at seeing his people returning to their old sinful ...read more

    Nehemiah returned after his absence from Jerusalem and saw the corruption of the priests and the neglect to the house of God. His passion for God's glory did not diminish with time.

    It will be so good if this book ends with chapter 12 on a high and glorious note. • With the city rebuilt and the people celebrating the completion with a grand dedication service, and the sound of rejoicing and praise reaching beyond Jerusalem. • The chapter ended with the Levites and priests ...read more

    The freedom we have in Christ is greater than any earthly freedom, and we are called to stand firm in our faith, resist returning to sin, and serve one another in love.

    You know how we celebrate the 4th of July with fireworks, BBQs, and hanging out with friends and family? Well, that's all about celebrating our freedom as a country. But guess what? We have an even more amazing freedom to celebrate - the freedom we have in Jesus! Our main idea today is this: The ...read more

    No matter where we are in our spiritual journey, this parable will quickly return us to earth with a bang. Let us remind ourself of our duty to God and our fellow man.

    Introduction: “This is a frightening reading” What a horrible, and frightening reading that was. For me, this is one of the worst passages in the whole bible, partly because we do not understand it in full, and partly because we do. … No matter where we are in our spiritual journey with the Lord, ...read more

    God’s mercy invites us to repent, bear fruit through grace, and live ready for Christ’s return, trusting the Gardener’s patient, transforming work in us.

    Some mornings feel like a fresh page. The coffee is warm, the sky is kind, and the world seems willing to be gentle with you. Other mornings arrive like headlines—hard, heavy, and hurried—reminding us how fragile life can be. Jesus once stood with people who had fresh headlines on their hearts: a ...read more

    Just before Jesus returned to his rightful place in Heaven there were final things he wanted to do for his disciples. He still offers to do these for his followers today.

    A Study of the Book of Luke Sermon # 70 “Final Instructions” Luke 24:36-53 It was an almost impossible situation that the eleven remaining disciples (after Judas’ death) faced as they met in private to discuss the plan for their next move.

    Through out the 66 books of the Bible we read time and time again stories that increase and Stretch our faith as we become obedient. In return we begin to dream big!

    Dreaming Big! Text: Luke 5: 1-4 Life is full of lessons; lessons come several ways. Object lessons seem to be very effective in my opinion. Jesus is teaching the multitudes probably a message on trust or faith, and then Jesus spots Peter and the other disciples, so He decides ...read more

    Elijah the Man- The Model - The Method. What an example and challenge for us. In a time when our nation seems to be so far away from God, here is a call to return to Biblcal standards.

    Elijah The Man James 5:16b-18. 16b. The prayer of a righteous man is powerful and effective. 17. Elijah was a man just like us.

    The Israelites returning home are thankful the captivity is over…thankful they’re going to the dance; but what now? How do you do this dance with a God you’ve never known?

    1LORD, you were favorable to your land; you restored the fortunes of Jacob. 2You forgave the iniquity of your people; you pardoned all their sin.

    All of the things that Hezekiah did were to help his people return to God. Part of what he reinstated and restored was the giving of tithes. It was the final piece of the picture he was trying to restore.

    Beyond salvation, we must be serving. Christians don’t know when He will return, but we know WHAT He expects! We know what to BE, and what to DO.....

    A newspaper (Houston Chronicle, 11/3/92, p.11a), printed an article some years ago about the church known as Mission for the Coming Days. That “church” disbanded on Nov 2, 1992. The pastor had been put in jail...(for a very good reason)! It seems that his central message was the return of Christ ...read more
