The Kingdom Stands

Contributed by Eloy Gonzalez on Jul 6, 2003

Pentecost 4: Jesus’ comforting words about the Kingdom span the ages to bring comfort and assurance to the believer.

The lens through which we can see things doesn’t provide the full panorama of the Kingdom. “For we know in part and we prophesy in part… Now we see but a poor reflection as in a mirror… Now I know in part…” (1 Corinthians 13.9a, 12a, 12c) Sometimes what we think that we see is really not; that ...read more

Taking God For Granted

Contributed by Jeff Taylor on Nov 27, 2025

Are we truly devoted to God whole heartedly no matter what? Or are we only Christianity to see what's in it for us? Are we taking God for granted or are we humble before him? Today, I want us to search our souls and our hearts for the answers to these questions as we dive into the Gospel.

The problem with our world today is not with a God who has never failed and is faithful from generation to generation. The problem in the world today are the hearts of evil men who take God for granted. And today, we turn to Psalms 78, and we see a chapter in Israel's history in which, time ...read more
