    Walking Headlong Into Trouble Series

    Contributed by Tom Fuller on Nov 2, 2008
    based on 4 ratings
     | 5,595 views

    What do you do when you know trouble is coming? Do you run the other way as fast as you can? Paul didn’t and his example helps us when we face difficulty or when those close to us face trials.

    Did trouble take Paul by surprise? It shouldn’t have. Back in Acts 9, right at his conversion, Jesus made it clear to then Saul what his future would be like. He told Ananias, who was sent to pray for Saul, “Go, for he is a chosen instrument of mine to carry my name before the Gentiles and kings ...read more

    A look at some of the ways that we make up who Jesus is rather than digging into the Scripture to find out who He really is.

    WHY DO I NEED TO READ THE BIBLE IF I'VE ALREADY ACCEPTED JESUS? You have not just been called to believe in Jesus, but to follow Jesus. - Matthew 4:19; Matthew 8:22; Matthew 9:9; Matthew 10:38; Matthew 16:24; Matthew 19:21; Mark 1:17; Mark 2:14; Mark 8:34; Mark 10:21; Luke 5:27; Luke 9:23, 59, 61; ...read more

    About every 2000 years God disciplines or punishes His creation. Could it be that the current Corona Virus Crisis is one such occasion.

    Judgement belongs to The Lord 2nd Samuel 24:17 - When David saw the angel who was striking down the people, he said to the Lord, “I have sinned; I, the shepherd, have done wrong. These are but sheep. What have they done? Let your hand fall on me and my family.” Many people have said it in recent ...read more

     | 5,018 views

    What is the kingdom of God? What is this kingdom of Heaven in these two parables? William Barclay offers this helpful definition: The kingdom of God is “a society upon earth in which God’s will is as perfectly done as it is in heaven.” Are you the Pearl of Great Price?

    CS Lewis observed: if I find in myself a desire which no experience in this world can satisfy, the most probable explanation is that I was made for another world.

    The Lie Of Lust. Be Filled. Colossians 3:23TPT Lust is a lie, because it comes from the father of lies, satan—The lie is that more sex, more food, more power, more applause, or more money will satisfy our wants and needs. It won’t. Did you know the scientist have coined a term for this? They call ...read more

    Temptation is part of life and resistance is possible in the belief of God’s goodness and love for all who call Him Lord.

     | 2,601 views

    When you relate to God, set Christ apart as Lord, you are always ready to give an answer. An answer to everyone who asks you the reason for the hope that is in you. When you have this kind of relationship with the Lord that Peter is talking about in this passage people will ask you about it.

But there is another finding that is serious but does not receive the same attention. When discovering why those fail at their jobs their ...read more

    When Jesus arrived in Jerusalem, He went to the Temple and looked around. When Jesus visited the Temple the next day, He saw some things that He didn’t like and gives us insight on the church today. They knew Jesus was in town and yet it changed nothing!

    What do you think about fences? Are you FOR them or AGAINST them? I guess that depends on whether the fence is yours or someone else’s.
