    An Old Challenge For A New Year

    Contributed by Larry Grant on Dec 24, 2021
    based on 1 rating
     | 5,297 views

    Christ is the object of our life. As speeds the ship towards the port, so hastes the believer towards the haven of his Savior’s bosom. As flies the arrow to its goal, so flies the Christian towards the perfecting of his fellowship with Christ Jesus.

    Colossians 3:1-4 (NKJV) “An Old Challenge For A New Year” Spurgeon said, “Paul’s marvelously rich expression indicates, that Christ is the source of our life. “You hath he quickened who were dead in trespasses and sins.” That same voice which brought Lazarus out of the tomb raised us to newness of ...read more

    The Lord keeps our light burning.

    Following Jesus is a marathon, not a sprint. Parable of the sower: Rocky ground, Thorny ground. Too many Christians give up. "It's just too hard." Why? They truly do not trust God. Their own power fails. You, Lord, keep my lamp burning; my God turns my darkness into light. Psalm ...read more

     | 152 views

    We live in a world that constantly tells us, "Be strong." "Believe in yourself." But when our strength fails, our minds confused, and we hit dead end, we discover that we are limited.

    Scripture: Philippians 4:13 — “I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.” Good morning, Church! We live in a world that constantly tells us: “Be strong.” “Believe in yourself.” “You can do anything you set your mind to.” But there are days when those words fall flat—when our strength ...read more

    #3 Thief - Things. (Chapter 3)

    Contributed by Jimmy Haile on Feb 29, 2020
     | 1,864 views

    If you could sum up chapter 3 of Philippians, it would be that Paul talked about things and how they can be a blessing or they can be a hindrance.

    Philippians 3:19-whose end is destruction, whose god is their belly, and whose glory is in their shame—who set their mind on earthly things. 20-For our citizenship is in heaven, from which we also eagerly wait for the Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ, (NKJV) 19-They are headed for destruction. ...read more

    Jesus said, “Take Care! Watch Out! Beware!” Jesus said, "Watch Out! Don't always be wishing for what you don't have. For real life and real living are not related to how rich we are." (Luke 12:15) This is a very appropriate warning to people in America; we seem to be obsessed ...read more

    based on 94 ratings
     | 11,794 views

    Life is hard, unfair, and sometimes just plain messy! It requires sacrifice! This is true even of God, who sent His Son as a Sacrifice -- a lamb -- who would pay the price for the injustice, sinful messiness of humanity.

    Isa 53:1-12 1 Who has believed our message and to whom has the arm of the LORD been revealed? 2 He grew up before him like a tender shoot, and like a root out of dry ground. He had no beauty or majesty to attract us to him, nothing in his appearance that we should desire him. 3 He was despised and ...read more
