    Abraham's Hope, Perfected In God

    Contributed by David Tack on Apr 3, 2024
     | 815 views

    How is a lost person, being dead in sin, to cross over into a state of being made alive? By embracing Abraham's mind set, found in Romans 4:18.... transitioning from a SELF-hope [impossibility] to a GOD-hope [expectation]!

    OUR TEXT Abraham’s Hope in God, Perfected in God Romans 4: 18, 20-22. [Abraham] (18) Who against hope believed in hope, that he might become the father of many nations, according to that which was spoken [Gen 15], So shall thy seed [offspring] be….

    Prayer is a simple yet powerful tool for Christians. It is a conversation with God, where we direct our requests to Him and expect answers. Jesus taught us this in Matthew 6:5-13. Embrace the power of prayer and witness the changes it can bring.

    Prayer is a powerful tool that allows us to communicate with God. It is a way for us to talk to Him, share our needs, and expect Him to answer. Prayer is the cornerstone of our faith and holds our families and society together. In today's world, prayer has taken a backseat to secular living and ...read more

    Jesus tells us how to pray in a way that leads to receiving an answer. We will learn that when we pray according to God’s will, that He hears and answers; but it might not be what we expect. However, it will be exactly what we need.

    This morning, we are going to look at what Jesus has to say about how to pray in a way that leads to receiving an answer. In his song “Good, Good Father,” Chris Tomlin says, “I’ve seen many searching for answers far and wide, but I know we’re all searching for answers only You provide. ‘Cause You ...read more

    Finding Deliverance

    1. Christ’s work of deliverance can only be done out of an abiding relationship with him. 2. Whenever Christ comes to do his work, he is never in a hurry. 3. Whenever Christ comes to us, he expects to find faith.

    The story we have read in the ninth chapter of Mark is a fascinating account of a young man being delivered from the forces of evil. He has suffered from this since childhood. When his father brought him to the disciples, they prayed over him, expecting that he would be delivered. After all, ...read more

    With tears in his eyes, Lincoln responded, “You are the very first person who has ever come into my office asking not, expecting not, but rather bringing me a gift of prayer. I thank you from the bottom of my heart.”

    Benefit Yourself By Praying for Your Authorities (I Tim 2:1,2) There is a general skepticism about authorities in our world today. But the Bible makes it clear that it is our obligation to pray for those who are in authority over us so that we live peaceful and quiet lives. Failue to pray for ...read more

     | 19,183 views

    When we see an apparently strong Christian face a spiritual defeat, we tend to think, "I would have expected that to happen to anyone but him." Peter’s denial while keeping warm at the enemy’s fire creates a similar surprise.

    Title: Keeping Warm at the Enemy’s Fire Text: "Peter followed at a distance. But when they had kindled a fire in the middle of the courtyard and had sat down together, Peter sat down with them" (Luke 22:54-55 NIV).

    Just as Josiah discovered God’s Word and demanded to know what it said in order to follow it. So too, today, are we as a church of God expected to discover God’s Word in this house and make it the only Rule of our Faith and Practice.
