     | 8,272 views

    God’s kingdom is at work in this world, but many people fail to take advantage of their opportunities. Instead of entering the kingdom, some people only ask questions about it. Salvation is not a theory to discuss; it is a miracle to experience.

    There is always hope as long as we are alive. The gates to both life and hell are open continuously, allowing for the possibility to transition from one to the other at any given time.

    Matthew 7:13-14 “You can enter God’s Kingdom only through the narrow gate. The highway to hell is broad, and its gate is wide for the many who choose that way. But the gateway to life is very narrow, and the road is difficult, and only a few ever find it.” Regardless of how far one may have ...read more

    Normally when we think of spiritual blindness in the Word of God we equate it with the lost or the hypocritical Pharisees. In our text God charges His peole with unparalleled spiritual blindness. It is time for God’s people to open their eyes and see.

    OPEN YOUR EYES AND YOUR EARS ISAIAH 42:14-20 INTRODUCTION: An elderly woman stood on a busy street corner, hesitant to cross because there was no traffic signal.
