    God's wisdom is far superior to the wisdom of this world.

    The Wisdom Of The Cross Text: 1 Cor. 1:18-25 Introduction 1. Illustration: Jesus Christ is the only who lived who claimed to be God and proved to be God.

    Take one day off a week to gain perspective and be more productive.

    Quick, do the math: A bat and a ball cost $1.10. The bat costs one dollar more than the ball. How much does the ball cost? If you came up with 10 cents, you’re in good company. That’s the answer most people come to. It’s intuitive, appealing, but WRONG! Do the math. If the ball costs 0.10 ...read more

    The Word of God is absolutely unique. In the history and literature of man there is no other book or writing that even begins to compare with the influence, persuasion, and power of the Word of God.

    Luke did not mention the collection in connection with the journey to Jerusalem, which Romans 15:25-28 clearly indicates was undertaken to deliver the gift. Why is Acts silent on the subject? Was there ultimately some problem with the collection?

    based on 6 ratings
     | 16,681 views

    The natural winds of the Earth are a type and shadow of the various facets of God moving in the supernatural realm. The direction of the natural winds represents spiritual seasons and movements of the Holy Spirit on earth, including the storms of life.

    “He makes clouds rise from the ends of the earth; he sends lightning with the rain and brings out the wind from his storehouses.” (Psalm 135:7 NIV) The natural wind is the motion or flow of air or other gases that compose the atmosphere of the Earth.

    Talk Is Cheap

    Contributed by Gordon Pike on Mar 6, 2019
     | 7,317 views

    Actions or works may not create faith but they can reveal the substance and form of a person’s faith. To me, works is our faith made visible. “For just as a body without the spirit is dead” … a corpse … “so faith without works is also dead” … a corpse (James 2:26).

    [Put up picture of me on screen.] Let me tell you a little bit about that man in the photo. He was 40 years old when that picture was taken. He was 20 months sober at the time. Well … “sober” is not the right word. He was a dry drunk” … which means that he hadn’t picked up a drink in 20 ...read more

    Last week we looked at Elijah. We saw how he was bold and courageous in taking on the 450 prophets of Baal but then Queen Jezebel threatens his life and he runs away. We can be bold and courageous in one situation and fearful and pessimistic the next. Today we'll look at Joshua and David.
