    There You Will Hear Text: Jeremiah 18:1,2 (I am using the KJV for this message because of its unique wording of verse 2, being caused to hear as opposed to other versions where the prophet would simply have the word of the Lord announced to him, or him simply receiving a message) Jer 18:1 The ...read more

    There are many church, synagogue & mosque members today devoted to rituals & rule-keeping. They are living in religious bondage. They need to hear that spiritual freedom is possible only through the grace of God in Jesus Christ.

    GALATIANS 4:8-20 AN APPEAL OF LOVE The conclusion reached in verse 7 is that those who have received the Spirit are now sons and heirs of God. Paul now tells the Galatians they are not acting like heirs of God! So he asks them if they prefer slavery or freedom, legalism or the Spirit? Did ...read more

    Pandemic And Presidential Prophecy - Does God Give Ministry Mulligans When Prophecy Is Wrong?

    Contributed by Dr. Craig Nelson on Mar 23, 2020
    based on 5 ratings
     | 5,862 views

    2020 was a year full of Prophecies about the ending of the Covid-19 pandemic, as well as the USA Presidential election, that can be added to the proliferation of so-called prophecies over the last 30+ years that were completely wrong.

    2020 was a really bad year for self-proclaimed 'Prophets' of God (or should I say 'profits'?) . There was not one 'prophet' who prophesied a legitimate warning nor predicted that a worldwide pandemic was coming. However, there were numerous 'prophets' who ...read more

    In Eph. 1:18 Paul prays that their hearts would be enlightened. To enlighten means to make clear or inform. The Greek word Paul uses means to shine; to illuminate. Paul wants their hearts to illuminate and shine with the things he goes on to describe.

    THE ENLIGHTENED HEART Eph. 1:15-21 In our passage today Paul prays that their hearts would be enlightened. To enlighten means to explain or make clear. It can also mean to tell or inform. Our hearts can be enlightened by being told something new as well as having something we know to be ...read more

    Why did Jesus send his disciples around after everyone was full to gather up the fragments that remained? It is interesting that we are not told what Jesus had done with the leftover fragments.

    TITLE: LEFTOVERS SCRIPTURE: ST. JOHN 6:5-14 What an exciting passage of Scripture that should stir us every time we read it. It has always interest me that this particular Miracle is one of a select few recorded in all four Gospel Narratives. It therefore has significance in its teaching to us ...read more

    In our passage today, Jesus illustrates the power and provision of prayer. But we'll see that it isn't always as simple as, 'ask and you shall receive'.

    Last Sunday I used a phrase that you may have heard growing up: do as I say, not as I do. Today I have another that would be just as bothersome: this is for your own good. God will do things we won't like but will be for our own good.
