    Contributed by Christian Cheong on Jan 4, 2016
     | 16,472 views

    We are called to be disciples of Christ and disciple-makers for Christ. Jesus challenges us to consider the cost commitment of discipleship, and not be distracted by the comfort and convenience this world offers.

    Being the first Sunday of the year, I want to take some time to revisit our ES mission – to grow as disciples of Christ and be disciple-makers for Christ. Why are we doing what we are doing? Why is this important? Can we do something else, or can we not do this at all? • We are ...read more

    A hallway is a place of transition, and a place of testing. It is what you do in the hallways of life that will determine the doors God will open for you. From Ps. 105 we use Joseph as our example and look at the trials, tests, and triumphs of hallways.

    Satan’s onslaught against the Word of God is constant. He is always twisting and manipulating, trying to get us to doubt what the Lord has said. In addition to attacking the Word, the devil will bombard us with testing and trials.

    Every temptation is a kind of test . . . from the Evil One. A temptation is a trial posed by Satan, with the wicked hope that we will fail. - Philip Ryken(1) Satan’s onslaught against the Word of God is constant.

    Joseph was treated with favoritism and bad relations with his brothers festered. He spent 13 years of suffering. Yet, he was a man of faith. What can we learn from his life?

    Joseph was treated with favoritism and at age 17, informed on his brothers’ misdeeds. Telling his brothers of a dream that they would bow down to him, made matters even worse, and bad relations between them festered. “Joseph, being seventeen years old, was pasturing the flock with his brothers.

     | 9,051 views

    Dealing with trials and adversity are a part of everyone's life - some more than others. We don't enjoy suffering, and yet the Word of God teaches us that we are to rejoice in them and even be happy as we suffer reproach. Peter explains this difficult doctrine in our text.

    Suffering for Righteousness 1 Peter 4: 12-16 Peter had spent considerable time in the preceding verses dealing with Christian character and conduct in the midst of a fallen world. He was well aware of the struggles and persecution many within the church faced. Although they were forced to deal ...read more
