You brought your whole week with you, and that’s good, because the God who loves you meets you as you are. He is wonderfully near, whispering through His Word, “I see you. I ...read more

    Like guardrails on the highway, God’s wisdom gives us guidance on how our desire for intimacy can be channeled in an appropriate direction, without bringing harm to us or others.

    Who's Shaping You? Prov. chapter 5: 1-23 Prov. 6:20-35 In our study of the Book of Proverbs we find that the promise of success for the righteous and destruction for the wicked need to read as general principles that are usually—but not always—fulfilled on this side of glory . ...read more

    The Fruit Of The Spirit

    The fruit of the Spirit, as described in the Bible, encompasses a set of virtues that reflect the character of God and are cultivated in believers through the Holy Spirit. These virtues include love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control.

    Let's look at these virtues in-depth to determine how to cultivate them. Love is a commandment. John15:12 NKJV "This is My commandment, that you love one another as I have loved you." Christians are to love people the way Jesus loves us, not necessarily as they love us. Christians ...read more

    Jesus Before Herod Series

     | 2,197 views

    Herod is presented as a frivolous person, who desired to see some amusing tricks performed by one whom he probably regarded as some kind of magician. To such a person Jesus had nothing to say.

    LUKE 23: 6–12 JESUS BEFORE HEROD [JESUS’ LAST DAY SERIES] [Luke 9:7-9; 13:31; Acts 3:11-22] Pilate was astute enough to realize in some fashion that it was he who was on trial, not Jesus. In some way, Jesus is in control of His own trial and Pilate seems cognizant of that. But, in spite of ...read more

Bass, a character from “The Andy Griffith Show” gives us a glimpse of a friendship moment: “Malcom, I ain’t gonna touch a hair on your head. You’re my friend, my true friend.
