    Blessed Are The Ermine Series

    Contributed by David Swanger on Feb 13, 2013
     | 8,366 views

    While we tend to focus on the purity of such things as food, water, and air, we would be wise to focus more intently on the purity of heart that Jesus speaks of here. A purity if not possessed will prevent us from seeing God both now and eternally.

    Blessed are the pure in heart, for they will see God. The ermine is a short-tailed weasel that has the unique feature of having its fur change to a snow-white color in the win¬ter. God created this animal with this feature to protect it from others. The ermine instinctively protects his white coat ...read more

    The Paradox Of Weakness

    Contributed by Michael Blitz on Feb 22, 2025
     | 618 views

    This morning we looked at St. Paul's teaching about Weakness, and the Paradox of the fact that the weaker he was, and of course, the weaker we are, the greater we can see God as He uses us as a painter uses a canvas.

    Good morning. We read from Paul, If I must boast, I will boast of the things that show my weakness. I hope to show you this morning, as we look at Paul’s message to the Corinthians, that these might just be some of the most comforting words that you can find in the Bible. I’m thankful for these ...read more
