    The disciples, on more than one occasion, argued over who should hold the highest position in the kingdom. Their desire was for recognition and honor in an earthly kingdom. Jesus had to refocus their thinking and I believe the same refocusing is needed by many today.

    Jesus is calling the church to commitment. We are committed to our sports teams, hunting, fishing, pleasure and entertainment. Jesus calls for commitment and repentance. It is a call for being in the world but not of the world.

    Intro: The words that Jesus share with the church in Laodicea are hard words. Sometimes it takes hard words to awaken those asleep. It will help us understand Jesus words if we know more about the city the church was in. The city of Laodicea was founded by Antiochus II in 253 B.C. It was named ...read more

     | 3,307 views

    When we Judge God by our own definition and limited understanding, we make God small, strip Him of his power and remove his grace and mercy from our lives. We diminish his work on the cross and the presence of the Holy Spirit.

    I don’t know about you but I’m realizing just how much I judge everything and everyone. It’s every day, all day for me. I’ve been catching myself judging and then finding myself rationalizing and justifying my actions. Just the other day, I’m driving in my car and I’m thinking what a terrible ...read more

    Those who have escaped earthly judiciary with their money and influence will meet with the Divine justice of God there. No money, influence or human power will stand up there. No sinner will escape the wrath of God.

    There is a life after death. Life after death is more important than life on earth. It is because, even if we live the maximum allotted time, we may live up to 120 years. But life after death is living in the eternity-unlimited number of years! Eternity is more important than time. We cannot be ...read more

    Chapters 30 and 31 of Jeremiah are two of the bible’s greatest chapters about the restoration of Israel. In this study now we do just Chapter 30. Hundreds upon hundreds of prophecies speak of the future restoration of Israel so how can man deny it?
