    Contributed by Gilbert Varela on Nov 9, 2007
    based on 4 ratings
     | 10,839 views

    How do you feel when someone welcomes you, specially if that is the first time you are there? There is nothing that the sad, frustrated, lonely, pathetic, empty soul does not like more than a friendly and smiling face saying “welcome”.

    How Hospitable are We? Genesis 18:1-8 NT: Hebrews 13: 2 1 The LORD appeared to Abraham near the great trees of Mamre while he was sitting at the entrance to his tent in the heat of the day. 2 Abraham looked up and saw three men standing nearby. When he saw them, he hurried from the entrance of his ...read more

    If the body of Jesus had decayed into dust within the borrowed tomb, we would not be singing the songs of Easter. They thought It was a tragic end to the “One” who had raised the dead. Tears told the sadness in their hearts. Resurrection shatters the grip of fear.

    The story of Ruth is a story of a woman whose life has spun out of control. Does she look to society for help? Does she use her sexuality to manipulate others to help? Or does she call on her redeemer?

    Have you ever noticed that so many of the Calls to Worship that we hear in church talk about joy? Ps 66: “Shout with joy to God, all the earth! Sing the glory of his name; make his praise glorious!” Ps 100 “Shout for joy to the LORD, all the earth. Worship the LORD with gladness; come before him ...read more

    But this story is different because it is factual, there are many spiritual truths within it no doubt, but it is a story about two real men and two real places. That’s why the Lord begins this story by saying: ’There was’, in verse 19, ’a certain man’...

    The story of Noah's flood is a familiar one to many of us. It's the story of a big boat and a whole lot of water. But, it's also a story of the character of God and how much He loves us.

     | 3,404 views

    Tonight brings us the climax of this story that most of us already know. But even though it's a familiar story, I always look for some reason that this story is in God's Word. Why is it there and what it is trying to teach us?

    Tonight's study in the third chapter of Daniel is really very short. But even though it's short, it packs a powerful message for all of us. Last time our study in the Book of Daniel left us at the entrance to the fiery furnace. Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego were bound, fully clothed, ...read more

     | 6,983 views

    The apostle Paul portrays mankind without Christ as Alienated from God, but through Christ can be reconciled to God and grantet citizenship of his kingdom.

    NO LONGER ALIENS BUT CITIZENS Most people like to belong to something secure - to a family, their community or their country. To belong gives security. And yet the society in which we live results in many that are alienated from it. "Alienated" is a word that is found in St Paul’s letter to the ...read more
