    We are to boldly go into the world to advance Christ's kingdom and hasten His coming.

    Christopher Columbus set sail from Europe on August 3, 1492, with the three ships Pinta, Nina, and Santa Maria, presumably to discover a western route to the Orient.

Beggars regularly lined up along the streets close to urban areas since that was the place where they had the option to contact the most people. Typically impeded somehow or another, they could ...read more

    We should not anticipate receiving blessings just for being faithful to the Lord. Those blessings and rewards will come in due time.

    In the previous chapter after Esther’s intercession, Haman was hanged due to his plot to kill Mordecai. While we ought not anticipate natural awards for being unwaveringly faithful to God, they frequently come. Esther and Mordecai were dependable, even to the point of taking a chance with their ...read more

    Jesus met a young man who thought he kept the entire Law. Most people believe they are going to heaven when they die, and they base their conclusion on being a morally good person. But, is anyone really good enough to go to heaven?

    I have entitled our message this morning “Are You Good Enough?” And the question for us to consider today is this: “Is anyone good enough to go to heaven?” An article from the Los Angeles Times says, “An overwhelming majority of Americans continue to believe that there is life after death and ...read more

    God didn’t hide Judah’s story. He redeemed it. And He can redeem yours too. In fact this might be where God is just getting started in your life.

    Today, we’re looking at a story in Genesis about Judah, the fourth son of Jacob (Israel) and great-grandson of Abraham. Last Sunday, we were studying Joseph, Jacob’s favorite son — so it may seem strange that Moses suddenly leaves the story of Joseph to tell us what’s happening in the life of ...read more

    This is a difficult passage but at its core it's one that posits what happens when someone tries to bring transformation without God.

    WHAT'S THE POINT OF THE STORY? It is about moral improvement without God. - Luke 11:24-26. - Let’s begin by acknowledging that this is a difficult passage. It comes across a little obscure. It’s easy to read it and think it’s either just a weird saying or something with no application to our ...read more
