    According to "Psychology Today," it is estimated that over 40% of us will feel loneliness at some point in our lives. In this sermon, we will learn about what loneliness is, the effects of it on our health, and some prominent figures in the Bible who felt lonely.

     | 2,565 views

    David knew God’s kindness. He was not undisputed king because he deserved it, but because he of God’s kindness. What better way to respond to God’s kindness to him by showing another kindness. Mephibosheth once lived in favor in the royal family.

It is not so well known. For one thing it is easier to stay Goliath than it is Mephibosheth. Just try to say ...read more

    In the previous passage, we were told that the body is buried in corruption because it is going to decay; but it is raised with such a nature that it cannot decay. With this change there is no decay or death in heaven.

It took only thirty more years for the world’s population to reach three billion. We have now arrived at six billion. Statisticians tell us that by the end of this century ...read more
