David – A Man Of Destiny

Contributed by Nathaniel Sadela on May 29, 2017

Examining the life of David briefly...

David was a shepherd boy whom God took from the sheepfold, to dwell in the palace. This man was called by God, ordained for greatness, even when no one was mindful of him.

The Man And His Message Series

Contributed by John Lowe on Jun 22, 2017

Man's Desires, God's Will Series

Contributed by Christian Cheong on Feb 20, 2017

When man's desires take precedent, we lose sight of God's will. We need to "sanctify" our desires by seeking God to know His will and surrender our will to His ways.

Man has his desires, God has His will. Our desires do not always sync with His, of course. • We can have godly desires, knowing what God wants. We can have ungodly and selfish ones, driven by what we want. • There is nothing wrong with human desires; God made us with such longings. • But our ...read more

Call No Man Father! Series

You must not be called ’Teacher,’ because you are all equal and have only one Teacher. And you must not call anyone here on earth ’Father,’ because you have only the one Father in heaven. Nor should you be called ’Leader,’ because your one and only leader

“Call no man ‘Father’” says Jesus. That’s part of our reading today from Matthew 23. Jesus says, “call no man ‘Father’”. What’s that doing here? And I don’t just mean what’s it doing here as this week’s reading. I mean, what’s it doing in the Bible? Since the (not so recent) publication of “The ...read more

The Measure Of A Successful Man

Contributed by Tim Patrick on Jun 19, 2009

As you study Joseph’s life you will attain a new measure of success.

Faith, The Measure Of A Man

Contributed by Mark Roper on Jun 24, 2009

Faith is knowledge passing into conviction, and it is conviction passing into confidence. Nothing is more disastrous than to study faith, analyze faith, make noble resolves of faith, but never actually to walk in faith

Faith, the Measure of a Man Most words in our spiritual vocabulary are difficult to define. They denote something invisible and intangible to be understood in the Spirit. Words like love, peace, and faith are best defined in the Bible. The author of the Book of Hebrews defines faith in these ...read more
