    Our Disappointed God

    Contributed by Rev Ken Shedenhelm on Aug 18, 2013
     | 8,076 views

     | 5,530 views

    Shame: I am a bad person. If other people knew what I was like they would despise me. I must save face. versus Guilt: I am a person who has done bad things. Can I make amends? Can I be forgiven? Which do you feel? How does it make you feel towards others?

    [I pick up TABLOID newspaper and pretend to read a story on the inside} “No?....Really?” “God, after what he has done, he has got what is coming for him” [look up at congregation] we all think that - we all pick up the newspaper and read stories and think that “he ...read more

    Whenever and wherever we are doing God’s work, we are on holy ground. Wherever we find ourselves, we can make it holy by being God’s representative in that place.

    The Beatitudes Of Christ (Part 2) Series

    Contributed by Christopher Benfield on Aug 25, 2021
    based on 2 ratings
     | 3,729 views

    While many of the blessings Jesus speaks of appear to be contradictions, we must remember that God’s economy is much different than ours. The world views blessings based upon circumstances or material possessions. The Lord speaks of blessing in regard to our relationship with Him.

    The Basis of Blessing (Part 2) Matthew 5: 3-12 Today I would like to continue our study on the passage that is commonly referred to as the Beatitudes. Remember this is a Latin term that literally means “happiness or bliss.” Our Lord uses the word blessed nine times in this discourse. He is clearly ...read more
