    Looking For Comfort

    Contributed by Alison Bucklin on Jul 31, 2023
     | 913 views

    God's coming does not depend on us. In fact, He has already come. And the only things we have to do to receive him are the same three things Isaiah told the people of Israel so long ago.

    I got a recording of the Messiah for my 20th birthday. That was the summer after I dropped out of my first college; I was living at home getting ready to go to my second one and trying to make some kind of sense out of my life.

    Calling All Nobodies

    Contributed by Paul Robinson on Sep 16, 2022
     | 2,741 views

    The idolatrous priest Amaziah tries to intimidate the prophet Amos. He did not appreciate Amos’ message against the king. But Amos wan't trying to be popular--God had called him out of an ordinary life of shepherding and gathering fruit. In other words, Amos was a nobody.

    This passage teaches us a valuable lesson: God calls and uses nobodies, those who are shunned by the world or overlooked. Amos, Moses, and David were just shepherds. Joseph was just a boy with a dream. Ruth was an outcast, an outsider. Esther was just a regular Jewish girl. These people were ...read more

    God’s mercy will block your path, speak through unlikely voices, and stop you before you destroy yourself — if you’ll listen.

     | 351 views

    Did you know that the Bible says, “Whoever aspires to be a leader desires a noble task”? Maybe this would make more sense if you knew what a mature church leader looked like. You are invited to learn and grow into the mature leader God wants to lead His church!

    How do you handle what God has given you? Is it okay to buy from companies that use sweatshops or mistreat their employees? What role do Christians have in that area?
