     | 4,373 views

    Greetings in the Holy Name of Jesus, My sisters and brothers, who do you, think of when someone says, “She is my rock” or “He is my rock.”? I know you must think of Jesus. The Rock, for it was Jesus, who quenched the thirst of man unto everlasting life.

    Me time is a precious commodity isn’t it? Some folks get a lot of me time all day long but are unwilling to do anything extra for anyone else, while others get very little and always make time to squeeze in one more thing someone asked them to do, into their busy day!

    Life has its share of difficulty and uncertainty. At times, we all wonder where life will lead and how we will overcome the obstacles we face. Even in the worst of situations, we can take comfort knowing our sovereign Lord is in control.

    Sovereignty within Mayhem Esther 6:1-9 Although their hearts are not filled with joy, Mordecai and Esther must have been encouraged somewhat by her meeting with Ahasuerus.

    A Prayer God Hears

    Contributed by Kerry Haynes on Oct 24, 2019
    based on 4 ratings
     | 11,701 views

    Jesus shows two very different prayer styles, and in so doing, reveals two very different heart styles. One will enter the kingdom of heaven; one won't. Our prayer life should reflect humility throughout.

    Luke 18:9-14 A Prayer God Hears Last week we looked at a parable where Jesus taught us to be persistent in our prayers: pray always, never give up, and above all, keep the faith! Today, in the very next passage in the Bible, Jesus makes a different point: he really points to the very crux of our ...read more

On the surface it may appear that Peter has taken a different perspective, but the overall theme he sought to convey in the latter part of chapter two continues. He dealt much with our submission to ...read more

    Contributed by John Williams Iii on Aug 14, 2020
     | 3,478 views

    In this passage of scripture, we can see three things. First, we can see where caution hinders compassion. Secondly, we can see where compassion builds community. Finally, we can see where members of the community must be accountable to God and each other.

    DISCIPLESHIP AND DISTORTION Text: Mark 9:38 – 50 There is the story of an army chaplain who once told his men that he did not believe in hell. Some of his men responded by saying that his services would no longer be needed. The one who tells this story (Warren W. Wiersbe) also says ...read more
