Benefits Of Persecution Series

Contributed by Richard Tow on May 16, 2023

In this exposition of Jesus's 8th Beatitude ("Blessed are those who are persecuted for righteousness' sake"), we explore biblical revelation as to why persecution is a blessing, more specifically, what are the benefits of persecution for God's people.

Intro We are considering the 8th Beatitude in Matthew 5:10: “Blessed are those who are persecuted for righteousness' sake, For theirs is the kingdom of heaven.” Persecution is a major theme in Scripture. We see it in the first family; it runs all through the Old and New Testaments; and in the ...read more

The Kingdom Is Righteousness

Contributed by Riaan De Villiers on May 14, 2007

We sometimes have a hard time to enter into the presence of God because we feel unrighteous and believe we need to be righteous before we can enter into the Kingdom of God. We need to see again that when I am in the kingdom I’m in righteouseness and when

A New Suit Series

Contributed by Rodney Fry on May 30, 2007

Habakkuk's Disturbing Burden Series

Contributed by Steven Boersma on Oct 17, 2011

It seemed as if the Lord would not even lift a finger to save the righteous from the oppression of violent men. And so, Habakkuk wanted to know why God wouldn’t listen, why God wouldn’t help, and why God even tolerated all this.

Habakkuk’s Disturbing Burden Habakkuk 1:1-2:1 Introduction The story is told of a man who was washed up on a small, uninhabited island after being the only survivor of a shipwreck. Every day the man prayed feverishly for God to help him. Every day he sat at the beach, scanning the ...read more

Romans 3:21-31 Series

Contributed by George Mclaughlin Jr. on Dec 24, 2009

What Cause God To Create Human? (1) Series

Contributed by Herbert Armstrong Bosantog on Nov 7, 2012

In the first place, God can OVERTHOW Satan whenever He wants. Since Satan is called, the ACCUSER, he is accusing God of INABILITY to perform a RIGHTEOUS and upright JUDGEMENT! So God CREATED Human in His own IMAGE. In other words, we HUMAN, have the ABILI

The Pharisee And Tax Collector Series

Contributed by Robert Leroe on Mar 22, 2010

The true “righteous” person is not someone who flawlessly observes all the “rules”, but someone who begs for mercy and is accepted by God--despite having plenty of human imperfections. To illustrate this, Jesus tells a story of two people who are polar o

I Am The Vine, You Are The Branches Series

Contributed by Reuben Bredenhof on Sep 5, 2021

When we are joined to Christ the true vine, we are powerfully connected to his Spirit and his vitality. By faith, we can share in Jesus’s righteous life and his atoning death. It is through his death and resurrection that the branches begin to flourish and bear much fruit.

When we take the time to look at trees, we get a beautiful reminder of how they sustain the life of their branches and leaves. Some of these trees are also able to produce a harvest of fruit that we can enjoy. Scripture talks about this too, the importance of the link from a leaf or branch to the ...read more

Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Mar 13, 2024
