Secure From Fear In The Arms Of God

Contributed by Jerry Cosper on Feb 6, 2024

God spared no expense to show His love for us through Jesus. Nothing will keep us from God or the work He wants to do in our lives.

Last week we began talking about fear. We have to admit that from time-to-time fear creeps in. If we're not really sure about something we might feel a little insecure or fearful about that situation. Over the years I have seen that kind of fear or anxiety at weddings that I perform. That ...read more

The Stubborn Evangelist: Part 4 Series

Contributed by Scott Maze on May 24, 2021

Are you eager that others enjoy God’s mercy? My desire is to stir inside you a strong motivation to extend God’s mercy and kindness to others. In essence, don’t be like Jonah. Remember what Jonah is really about – first experiencing God’s mercy and then extending God’s mercy.

Psalm 136 (Kjv) Title: His Loving Kindness Endures Forever Series

Contributed by John Lowe on Jun 26, 2020

The theme of this psalm isT “mercy’s vast unfathomable sea.” God’s love is deeper, far deeper than that. The psalmist looks first at God’s goodness manifested in His “mercy.” The word for mercy is the usual word for grace or lovingkindness. That “mercy endures forever.”

3/25/20 Tom Lowe Psalm 136 (KJV) 1O give thanks unto the LORD; for he is good: for his mercy endureth forever. 2O give thanks unto the God of gods: for his mercy endureth forever. 3O give thanks to the Lord of lords: for his mercy endureth for ever. 4To him who alone doeth great wonders: ...read more

The Stubborn Missionary

Contributed by Reuben Bredenhof on Mar 16, 2021

More than Jonah could ever understand, Jesus reveals the greatness of God’s mercy. God’s mercy is for sinners. His mercy is for Jews, it’s for Gentiles, it’s for people of ever nation, for all who seek him.

What does someone do when they’ve been rescued from great danger—pulled from a burning house, or saved from drowning? Or how does a person act after his life’s been spared: when he should’ve been killed, but someone had mercy? A natural response is the desire to tell people about it. Because what’s ...read more

A Little Bit Of Sin

Contributed by Michael Stark on Jul 25, 2009

The danger with a little bit of sin, is that we can sin just a little. However, we must know that there are grave consequences when we choose to follow our own desires rather than following the will of God.

Blessed Are The Picker Uppers Series

Contributed by David Swanger on Feb 6, 2013

We must be before we do. Our Father who is "rich in mercy" expectes as much of His children and promises the same merciful treatment to them as they extend to others.

One bankrupt in spirit, broken with grief, submissive to God’s leading, and living with an insa¬tiable hunger for righteousness is now ready and able to live out the life he has ...read more
