    The world is constantly changing, promising everything but delivering nothing. Promises to the world are made to be broken. Many would ask “Is there anything that is sure and certain?” The answer is a resounding “Yes!” Our God is faithful.

    Strong In The City

    From this episode in Joseph's life, we learn that God is always with us, God can help us grow through our suffering, and we learn that there is a better day coming.

    Our scripture for today falls into this category of verses I don’t understand when I first read them. Here it is. Happy are those who are persecuted.

    “Recycling our Pain” Matthew 5:10 In my personal study of the gospels one of the things I have noticed is that some of the teachings of Jesus are just very difficult for us to follow. At times when we read them they don’t even make sense. For instance, Jesus said: • If ...read more

    Are we really the church or a faded glory of a church which once was?

    Faith in Action Acts 4:32-35 It has been said: Preach the Gospel; if necessary use words.” This is one of those statements that are pretty self-explanatory. There is all too often a wide gulf between what we preach and what we do. We find preachers and teachers who can explain the text in an ...read more

    based on 4 ratings
     | 5,185 views

    How does Jesus help us to increase our faith? Is it through comforts or challenges? When we love our master we find fulfillment in keeping his commandments without an applause.

    Of Christian Faith and Duty We give thee but thine own, whate’er the gift may be; all that we have is thine alone, a trust, O Lord, from thee. May we thy bounties thus as stewards true receive, and gladly, as thou blessest us, to thee our firstfruits give. The captive to release, to God the lost ...read more
