    Peacemakers are blessed, said Jesus. But they are not to be confused with 2 other kinds of people ... Peace-Breakers and Peace-Fakers.

    “Blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called sons of God.” We live in a world that is filled with (characterized by) fighting and rivalry. Every level of society is affected. In the midst of such continual strife, God calls His people to be ‘peacemakers’. “Blessed are the ...read more

    1st in Christmas series based on Galatians 4:4 - why the time was right for Jesus to come. This is one describes the right time CULTURALLY - one language.

    Galatians 4:4 – The Time Came (With a healthy dose of help from John Eldredge.) “In the beginning.” It might just as well say, “Once upon a time.” It’s a wonderful phrase, full of legend and myth, promise and mystery. And it’s a sort of invitation, too. “Come here, let me show you something…” ...read more

    based on 10 ratings

    The attitude of gratitude is a conscious choice the Believer makes to the greatest event our world has known - the death and resurrection of Christ. That attitude enables us to live as overcomers irrespective of our circumstances.

    LET THE ATTITUDE OF GRATITUDE ELEVATE YOUR ALTITUDE Philippians 4:4-13 1. The cartoon by Mike Baldwin on the cover of your bulletin this morning (cartoon shows a long line of people at the "Complaints" window and none at the "Gratitude" window)is an apt description of and sad commentary on the ...read more

    Before Joshua can go into battle the Lord has to cut away the flesh, provide new life, new food, and show who the real boss is. Before we can have victory in Christ we must go through the same thing.

I felt prepared and ready to face the challenges of the world after enduring my four years of college midterms and finals. The Lord led me to my first job in an ...read more
