    From childhood to old age, God is always there to support us. God’s work in our lives ought to be a living testimony, so we should as such.

    The psalmist was old, and he considered his life to be as a declaration of all that God had accomplished for him (Psalm 71:9 & 18). Recalling God’s lifetime of blessings will assist us with seeing the consistency of His effortlessness consistently, to confide in Him for the future, and to ...read more

    It’s ironic that when dealing with these positive commandments, we don’t ever come to a point when we can say, “I have fulfilled them.”

    Thursday before Epiphany 2017 Joy of the Gospel St. John teaches us today in both Epistle and Gospel: “By this we know love, that [Jesus] laid down his life for us; and we ought to lay down our lives for the brethren.

    The Difference Series

    Many people wonder what the big deal is about Jesus' resurrection since there have been other people who woke up from the dead. Jesus, however, is different from everyone else. He is the only one who rose and never did again. Halleluiah!

    So what Jesus resurrected? Has he been the only one who has ever been raised from death? Yes, to this question, there is no big deal because so many other people have been raised from death. Example before Jesus: • The widow of Zarephath’s son - 1 Kings 17:22 • The Shunamite’s son - 2 Kings ...read more

    Several messages sewn together under the general heading of eschatology. A bit of a "sampler" message about last things.

    The Beast from the Sea Believers must feel nervous when yet another brother attempts to describe what some feel is unknowable information. I feel nervous myself. Oh, the incredible ignorance displayed by persons with unworthy motives. They seek to dazzle or entertain. But regardless of the ...read more
