    Be Of Good Cheer, A Strange Request

    Contributed by Marvin Walker on Dec 2, 2004
    based on 21 ratings
     | 18,094 views

    Many lessons can be learned from Paul’s shipwreck experience, Life can be full of heartache, disappointment, and grief; but we still have abundant reason to "BE OF GOOD CHEER."

    There is nothing righteous about a gloomy, despondent, pessimistic attitude in a believer. In fact, these things are the opposite of righteousness. Those who honor God the most are those who walk before Him with a cheerful heart, full of joy, believing His precious word and rejoicing in His ...read more

    1 Peter 4:12-19 prepares us to 1) Expect suffering (1 Peter 4:12), 2) Exult in suffering (1 Peter 4:13-14), 3) Evaluate suffering (1 Peter 4:15-18), and 4) Entrust suffering to God (1 Peter 4:19).

    1 Peter 4:12-19. Beloved, do not be surprised at the fiery trial when it comes upon you to test you, as though something strange were happening to you.

    Harmony and Fire I. TEXT: Luke 12:49-53 (NRSV) “I came to bring fire to the earth, and how I wish it were already kindled! 50 I have a baptism with which to be baptized, and what stress I am under until it is completed! 51 Do you think that I have come to bring peace to the earth?

    Pastors’ Conference: A special sermon addressing the ethics of money. This was presented at a special worship service that was part of a monthly gathering of pastors.

    Money does strange things to people. I found this cute little story on the Internet that was carried in the December 1980 issue of Campus Life. (p. 19) It starts by asking: What’s the most outrageous thing you would do for $10,000 cash? The question was posed recently by Chicago radio station WKOX. ...read more

    Sometimes God ask us to do strange things. When He does, there is always a purpose and a plan. There’s no way the human brain that weighs only about 3 pounds can understand this. This is why it’s best to do as Mary said, "Whatever He tells you to do, d

    A different twist on how a mom bought a request to jesus that demonstrates the kind of moms we honor today. Mothers are soft voices saying, "i love you." and mothers are a link to god, a child's first impression of god's love.
