"Overcoming Bitterness With Praise"

Contributed by Jerry Depoy on Jan 26, 2004

An Acrostic message. Hopefully, this will help you to remember the key points. We will be spelling the word, "Praise." The means by which God has given to us to defeat the evil in this world is with our "praise."

"Dinner For Two"

Contributed by Jerry Depoy on Feb 9, 2004

The Pharisee thought Jesus was clueless about who was at the dinner table. It was the pharisee what was clueless.

I have been reading my Bible through again this year.

"What Was Great About David's Great Sin?"

Contributed by Jerry Depoy on Feb 16, 2004

You may have thought that David’s great sin was when he committed adultery with Bathsheba? It is true that the innocent blood of Uriah and the baby were upon his hands, but in today’s text, seventy thousand people in Israel died because of his sin... Why

And David said unto the LORD, I have sinned greatly in that I have done: and now, I beseech thee, O LORD, take away the iniquity of thy servant; for I have done very foolishly."

Keeping The Dreamer Alive

Contributed by Camillus De Almeida on Feb 26, 2004

The greatest challenge is not about keeping the dream alive but the "dreamer" alive. Without the dreamer there is no dream.

Contributed by Jerry Depoy on Mar 26, 2004

Certainly "Power comes through Prayer," but the purpose of this message is to convey what was so powerful about "Peter’s message" on the day of Pentecost. Why would three thousand souls repent and come to Christ?
