    Making Your Life Matter Series

    Contributed by Scott Maze on Jun 4, 2021
     | 2,678 views

    Christians are to display a willingness to be offended, disadvantaged, even abused without making a return, without requiring vengeance, without demanding an accounting – whether an apology, or punishment, or a repayment of some kind.

    This is one of the most encouraging messages you’ll hear. Today’s Big Idea: God Works Diligently on Our Behalf. Over the next few minutes, I want to tell you God serves His children. “As each has received a gift, use it to serve one another, as good stewards of God's varied grace: whoever ...read more

    The journey to the land of promise seems longer but God warns that return journey to the land of Egypt would be shorter, if His voice is not obeyed. Hearken to His voice for the fulfillment of your destiny.

    I. Naturally, destination is a place of rest. This differs from one individual to another under varying circumstances. The land of promise and land of Egypt are two destinations in a Christian (race) journey. The former can be a position, place or height God desires for us as his children ...read more

    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

    Before Jesus returned to heaven he gave His disciples everything they would need to start the fire that would "burn into" the church, but what does that mean for us today?

    When Jesus returns, my guess is that we’ll be amazed at the work that God has done to bring people into His Kingdom- work we didn’t know was occurring.

    We’ll be Amazed when our Saviour Returns September 7, 2002 What is the one element that most clearly defines the lives of Christians, who are people firmly rooted in Jesus Christ, in days such as these we live in right now?

    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.

    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.

    The prophet Haggai gives the returned exiles of Judah a wake-up call because of their complacency and recalls them to faithful service to their God who has done some much for them.

    CONSIDER YOUR WAYS A prominent person, I believe it was Henry Ford, is reputed to have said, "history is bunk". Why he said that, I can’t think, because if we don’t learn from the mistakes of the past, we’re sure to repeat them. That’s the story of the world and is especially true for the ...read more
