Faith cures fretting.

TRUST IN THE LORD. Psalm 37:1-9. PSALM 37:1. Somebody is in trouble, fretting because of the unfairness of life: but the pastor’s responsibility is not to burden the poor soul with a ‘snap out of it’ sort of approach, which often only leads to further despair; but rather to present positive ...read more

Oh But The Lord

Contributed by Derrick White Sr on May 30, 2022

PSALM 34 : 19 IS AN ENCOURAGING PASSAGE OF SCRIPTURE THAT IS FOUND IN THE CANON OF GOD`S HOLY WORD FOR IT`S A VERSE WITH A COMBINATION THAT CAN BE DIVIDED INTO TWO HALVES BECAUSE THE FIRST HALF GIVES US THAT WHICH IS SOUR

Psalm 34:19 (KJV) 19 Many are the afflictions of the righteous: but the LORD delivereth him out of them all.

Return To The Lord Series

Contributed by Kamalanathan Francis on Feb 20, 2021

Many mainline churches follow Lent prayers, as they were led by the Lord. These forty days prayers are gifts for those who want to grow spiritually.

This is a call to everyone who is searching for God and those who are offended in unexpected ways. In OT people return to God with fasting and weeping, wearing sack clothes and dust on their heads. They do this often as it was required, and some of them took to the streets to show that they were ...read more

Be Strong In The Lord

Contributed by David Nolte on Mar 7, 2021

We, in our own strength, have no chance in our spiritual warfare

Real strength ? Is not a matter of mere muscle power. ? Is not just brute force. ? Is not determined by how much weight you can lift. ? Is not represented in Arnold Schwarzenegger, Hulk Hogan or even Superman. Strength that matters ? Is a thing of character, will, determination. ...read more

The Law And The Lord

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Mar 13, 2021

Christ was the event toward which the whole history of the Old Testament moved. Without the Old Testament we cannot know what it was that He fulfilled, and, therefore, the Old Testament is a vital part of the Christian faith.

Misunderstanding is a part of life, and much of the laughter of life is due to it. One little guy surprised his whole family one evening at the supper table by asking which virgin was Jesus' mother? Was it the Mary virgin, or the King James Virgin? He had misunderstood one word and was ...read more

Lord Of The Storm

Contributed by Reuben Bredenhof on Mar 21, 2021

As Lord of all creation, Jesus won’t let anything stop his plan to redeem sinners. So there is nothing more powerful than these words of comfort for his believers: “It is I.” His words overcome all our fears: “I am Jesus. Do not be afraid.”

It is humbling to stand at the edge of the ocean. Looking out over the water, seeing the pounding surf and hearing the noise of the breakers, you realize your smallness. This is creation’s awe-inspiring power. And it’s not only impressive, it can also be dangerous. Sometimes the surfers have to ...read more

As Unto The Lord

Contributed by Doug Houck on Dec 20, 2020

Jesus dignified work. Work is part of God's plan to bless us, bring us joy, and glorify God.

Introduction Everyone knows that Jesus was a carpenter. But where in the Bible does it say that? Mark 6:1-3 Is this not the carpenter? Not a priest. Not a merchant. Didn’t study at the university. Not a professional, like a lawyer or doctor. Not in government. A craftsman, he had ...read more

Thank The Lord Series

Contributed by Rev. Dr. Andrew B Natarajan on Jan 2, 2021

David’s life was a mixture of good and evil, mixed with noble deeds, high aspirations, great accomplishments, and stained with terrible and grave sins of Adultery and Murder. However, he was known as a man of righteousness because he never became an unthankful man for what God has done to him.

Psalm 103:1-5, Praise the Lord or Thank you, Lord David’s life was a mixture of good and evil, mixed with noble deeds, high aspirations, great accomplishments, and stained with terrible and grave sins of Adultery and Murder. “An unlimited power leads a person to an ungrateful life and ...read more

The Marks Of The Lord

Contributed by Grant Adams on Feb 8, 2022

This is a day of symbols or day of signs. We want people to know where we stand.

Paul had a sign, a symbol and every where he went people knew to whom he belonged, and they knew where he stood. Verse 17, “I bear in my boy the marks” or the stigmata, that mark of the Lord. The Greek word stigmata has reference to a custom back in those days. A very cruel custom of branding a ...read more

Help, Lord!

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Feb 19, 2022

The Bible is filled with many different kinds of experts.

For example, if you want to know something about: • LAW AND GRACE, the apostle Paul would be the one you would want to talk to. • SUFFERING AND AFFLICTION, Job would be the one you would want to talk to. • ESCHATOLOGY, you would want to consult John, the revelator. • But, if you wanted to know ...read more

The Joy Of The Lord

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Feb 25, 2022

In these verses, God’s Word talks about the “JOY of The Lord” that we can enjoy, and what it can do for us.

The Lord gives us His JOY each day, but the devil tries to rob us of it each day. For example, he will make sure each day people will enter our life that take great delight in stripping every ounce of joy that they can extract from our life. They spare no effort: • They will drive across town if ...read more

Why Lord?

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Mar 7, 2022

Children are different in many ways, but almost always they are alike in one way

• You tell a child to do something and invariably they will say, “why” ? • You tell a child not to do something and invariably they will say “why”? One of the reasons it annoys us as parents when our children do this, is because sometimes we know they should do something, but we do not always ...read more

The Day Of The Lord Series

Contributed by Freddy Fritz on Nov 13, 2022

Amos 5:18-27 shows us that nominal religion provides no hope for the present or eternity.

Introduction Commentator Gordon Keddie tells the story of two men who were discussing the whys and wherefores of the biblical “millennium” mentioned in Revelation 20:4. Which of the three classic interpretations of this period was correct? Was it premillennialism, postmillennialism, or ...read more

Worship The Lord Series

Contributed by Joseph Marshall on Dec 4, 2022

Many of the Psalms are psalms of worship. Worship is something that has little appeal to the overly practical man. God only accepts worship in spirit & in truth. Therefore we must be instructed on how to worship in a way that pleases God.

Part of this Psalm was written in response to the bringing home of the ark after it had been captured by the Philistines. David was so pleased and this is how he responded. • Worship to God is not merely what you do in church but how you respond to the circumstances that take place in your ...read more
