    The message looks at Solomon’s rise to the throne of Israel.

    Folk sayings are easily remembered, but not always understood. People talk about "walking the walk" and "following in the footsteps" of others, about "taking a stand," "standing firm," and "standing tall." These sayings, along with many traditional proverbs, are all commonly expressed folk wisdom ...read more

    Hinneni

     | 4,115 views

    Isaiah says, "Hinneni," or, "HERE I AM," when God calls. The only way he can have this confidence is through knowing the forgiveness of Christ. When God call us we respond like Isaiah because of the cross alone.

    Language is a funny thing. It’s amazing that we can share so much by just talking. Ideas, feelings, problems, joys, knowledge – all passed on through language. We don’t often stop to think about how amazing it is that we can talk. But we also don’t often stop to think of the limits of human ...read more

    How Do I Measure Up?

    Contributed by Lew Slade on Dec 22, 2008
    based on 4 ratings
     | 4,502 views

    Is it really the good works of the "sheep" that will secure their salvation?

    How do I measure up? I don’t think I can be accused of exaggerating if I say that this is one of the most difficult passages of scripture in the entire Bible (Matthew 25: 31-46). It’s what teenagers today might call “in your face”. It confronts and challenges us at the very core of our being; it ...read more

    None of us can live without water - physically or spiritually.

    Can you imagine life without water? Think of the ways that we use it everyday – brushing our teeth, taking a shower, washing our hands, wiping off the kitchen counter, cooking, watering the lawn.

     | 15,165 views

    There are three ways to look at people: (1) as prey - whom we can make a profit from; (2) as trouble to avoid, or (3) as an opportunity for us to serve. The Lord says we are to minister to others, especially those in need.

    Luke 10:30-37 Seize the Opportunity to Serve 1929 words This parable tells us we can treat people in at least 3 different ways. (1) Like the robbers, sees a person as a prey. They are out to gain something from him. (2) Like the priest and the Levite, see the person as a trouble to avoid. ...read more

    In this diverse nation, Christians will sometimes feel as though they are suffering the slings and arrows of misunderstanding, hostility, and persecution. Jesus promises that those who are so misunderstood, will be the bearers of eternal light.

    Blessed are the Persecuted Matthew 5:10-12 I Peter 3:13-22 Four hundred years ago, they were beginning to come. From Spain, France, England, and Holland they came. They came searching for riches, fame, and glory. They came because of the innate curiosity of human beings. They came because ...read more
