Perseverance

Contributed by Dennis King on Oct 25, 2022

Perhaps you've been lucky and haven’t had to endure a lot of life’s common trials and tribulations. If so, “persevering or perseverance” might not resonate much with you?

What does the ...read more

I'm Confident Of That (Part One)

Contributed by Derrick Tuper on Nov 1, 2020

We can view the word confident in a purely negative light. We associate confidence with pride and arrogance, but that's not always the case. There are times where the word is used in a positive way. Let's look at some of them and see what we can take away.

I'M CONFIDENT OF THAT (part one) In the Wed. night study we've been going over verses regarding boasting about tomorrow and making plans for tomorrow but things not going as planned. Sometimes we're too confident that things are going to go a certain way and are blindsided when they ...read more

Calm Assurance In Any Storm Series

Contributed by Richard Tow on Apr 26, 2020

Believers can live in a state of calm assurance no matter what is going on around them. Dr. Tow speaks from Ps 46 focusing on the exhortation: "Be still and know that I am God." Guidance for living in this principle and examples in Scripture are explored.

David’s 911 Call For Help (1-2)

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Jan 4, 2022

Psalm 35 is another of David’s imprecatory prayers. In it David appeals to a righteous God to send judgment upon the enemies of God, and the persecutors of His righteous people.

WHY DID DAVID PRAY SUCH A PRAYER? It is believed that since Old Testament characters did not have the benefit of the New Testament, they did not have a complete revelation of the judgment seat of Christ. Therefore they believe the wicked had to be judged and to be rewarded in this life for ...read more

God Uses Who You Are

Perhaps it’s because you’ve been pushed into an area of service that doesn’t suit how the Lord has made you and equipped you, and who you really are inside. ...read more

Fact And Faith In Creative Tranquility Series

Contributed by Jack Perkins, D.min., Ladc, Csac, Cclc on Aug 7, 2021

The intensity of John’s writing increases as he attempts to call the church back to the non-negotiables of the Gospel. In this message attention is drawn to several things: the historicity of Jesus demonstrates God’s redemptive plan and calls for a response.

As John draws this short letter to a close, I am amazed by the manner in which his intensity builds. He increasingly, uses the phrase, we know. His task has been to call the church back to foundational things. The effectiveness of this series of sermons is based on our response to a very ...read more
