    based on 1 rating
     | 326 views

    In today’s world, where confusion, compromise, and chaos often define national identity and cultural values, we must come back to the unchanging truth of God’s Word. And it starts not with politicians, but with us, the Church — you and me — living out righteousness.

    Go! And Choose Righteousness - Proverbs 14:34 Dean Courtier Proverbs 14:34 (NLT): “Godliness makes a nation great, but sin is a disgrace to any people.” Introduction Let me begin with a question: What makes a nation truly great?

    Numbers 13 is about a report brought back by the Israelite spies about the land of Canaan, where they compared themselves to the giants in the land and felt like grasshoppers in their sight, showcasing the crippling effect of fear and lack of faith in pursuing God's promises

    Subject: Dare to Believe in the Faithfulness of God Scripture Lesson: Numbers 13:26-33 “to Moses, Aaron, and the whole community of Israel at Kadesh in the wilderness of Paran.

    Jesus is coming back soon. The signs of His Coming are almost all on display. Paul tells us in Romans 13:11-14 how this knowledge should be affecting our lives: we should Wake-Up, Clean-Up, Dress-Up.

    Christmas was just the beginning of a round-trip that Jesus took from heaven to earth and back to heaven. Jesus went from sitting on a throne, to laying in a manger, to hanging on a tree. He went from being a king with a crown, to a baby with diapers, to a criminal on the cross

    Contributed by Andrew Dixon on Dec 12, 2024
    based on 1 rating
     | 549 views

    Have you ever wondered if God would change His mind and if so for what reasons? The repentant King and people of Nineveh help us understand God’s true character, and our responsibility as the believers who belong to the body of Christ, the Church.

    We read in Jonah 3:10,“God saw what they did; he saw that they had given up their wicked behavior. So he changed his mind and did not punish them as he had said he would.” (GNB) God sent the prophet Jonah to preach against the city of Nineveh, with the message that in forty days the city would be ...read more

    When God gives up on humanity, it is left to itself. When man is left to himself, only evil follows.

    1:29 “…being filled with all unrighteousness, sexual immorality, wickedness…” It seems to me that these are not the first in the list, but a title over the list. “Sexual immorality” is not in more modern versions, following different Greek texts. But he does mention it in his lists in 1 ...read more

    Those who are outside the people of God are in rebellion against Him and are therefore spiritually dead. But God makes them a free offer to bring them back to life. All that’s needed to receive all of the bounty that God offers is to believe his promise,
