     | 7,692 views

    Only God’s plan will matter in the long run, so we had better join Him.

    God’s plan is the only plan. I remember lying on the bed, the hot, humid air pressing down on me, and wondering, “What was I doing here?” I was on my first mission trip to the Philippines. I was serving for 10 weeks working in the housing complex, Villa Carolina II on the outskirts of Manila. I ...read more

    The Name of the lord is the strong tower. Not the tower itself that contains the strength and poer. The righteous run into the Nme of the Lord

    A Strong Tower “The name of the Lord is a strong tower. The righteous run into it and are safe” Proverbs 18:10 The Name of the Lord is a strong tower. The righteous run into it and are safe.” When we read this verse we seem to focus on the big strong tower that is a fortified place to hide from ...read more

    The God Who Weeps

    based on 6 ratings
     | 8,659 views

    Our resources have run out, and there is no healing balm for the malady of sin apart from the blood of Jesus.

    THE GOD WHO WEEPS. Jeremiah 8:18-22; Jeremiah 9:1. We are accustomed to referring to Jeremiah as the ‘weeping prophet’ – and rightly so. However, Jeremiah’s tears do not just speak to us about the prophet, but also about the people – and mainly about God. In that sense, we might refer to the ...read more

    People who refuse to hear the Gospel and run away from the church need a closer touch of Jesus.

    Deaf ears Mark 7:32 They *brought to Him one who was deaf and spoke with difficulty, and they *implored Him to lay His hand on him.” I am so excited to share today’s word, when a man who was deaf and spoke with difficulty was brought to Jesus, Jesus did things differently, let me highlight it: ...read more

     | 2,295 views

    As a Christian, what would you do if Jesus came to your door? What would you do with Him? Hebrews 12 addresses that issue by telling us things we could do honor Jesus if He knocked on our door and asked to come in.

    OPEN: Back in the 1960s the Beetles were becoming international sensation. Paul McCartney (who became the lead singer for the group) soon learned the downside of fame, as many people would just “drop by” his home and want to visit with him.

    The story of the angels isn’t so much about a heavenly sing-song than God announcing the end to the war between himself and the human race.

    I’m sure we’re all fairly familiar with this scene—a group of shepherds are in the field quietly minding their own businesses when an angel appears to them. *The Angels* We don’t know the name of this angel. However, the only angel to be named in the gospels in connection with the birth of Jesus ...read more

     | 736 views

    When the men on the ship realized that Jonah was the cause for their serious predicament they asked him, ‘Why have you done this?’ May we as children of God not do anything that will dishonor God and be a hindrance to those outside the church.

    We read in Jonah 1:10, Then the men were terrified. They knew that he was running away from the LORD, because he had told them. They asked Jonah, "Why have you done this?" (GW) The prophet Jonah who received the word of God to go to Nineveh, disobeyed God, and undertook a voyage on a ...read more

    A funeral sermon for a faithful Christian.

    The promise of Scripture is that when a child of God passes from this world below, they are welcomed into the world above. Once they leave our presence, they enter into the presence of God. This is the hope that sustains every Child of God. As we gather here today, I am happy to report that this ...read more
