    - Even though we are born again in Christ, we are not removed from our human nature. - As Christians we are continually in the process of sanctification, the “work of God,” which we are to participate in. - Those Peter writes to us that we are to be

    I. The Eight Virtues (vv. 5-7) A. Faith i. It is by faith alone that we are saved through grace, but this saving grace doesn’t continue on by itself. ii.

     | 11,120 views

    Paul’s speech before the temple crowd was primarily aimed at establishing his complete commitment to Judaism. What he evidently could not accomplish through his participation in the Nazarite vow he now sought to establish by this speech.

    The Miracle Of Transformation Is Possible When Preparation Precedes The Blessing

    Contributed by Otis Mcmillan on Jul 1, 2021
    based on 2 ratings
     | 5,492 views

    The miracle of transformation begins when we are willing to offer Jesus obedience without reservation; service without limitation; and participation without intimidation. Jesus can take what we will do and do with it that we can’t do.

    Jesus was on a mission to save the world, the greatest mission in the history of mankind. Yet, he took the time to attend a wedding and take part in the festivities. We may be tempted to think we should not take time out from our important work for social occasions. But maybe these social occasions ...read more

    I was invited to participate in a PRAYER GATHERING FOR UKRAINE on 2/27/22. People from various Slavic East European countries as well as others gathered for prayer. This was a very significant time to address the war in the heavenlies regarding Ukraine.

    UKRAINE - a wake up call to the world WAR IS HELL - War may not actually be Hell, but it sure looks and feels like Hell to those who are going through it. War is hellish, deadly and destructive with much pain and suffering. In war no one really wins. Everyone pays a very high price. The carnage, ...read more

    If you want to participate in the great wedding feast to come, bring your lamp and join the bridal party; bring some oil, inviting God’s Spirit to dwell within; then watch for your Bridegroom to come at any time.

    Several years ago, Dave Best and his fiancée planned more than a year in advance their wedding in Wales on July 6, 2008.

    The Book Of Lamentations – Part 4 – Judah Is Rejected And Trodden Down – My Great Pain – Chapter 1:11-15 Series

    Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Feb 26, 2025
     | 126 views

    This section begins the lament – the utterance of sadness and failure. There are 9 verses of lament here and this Part deals with 2 of them. Was the LORD responsible for Judah’s suffering? It is a sad thing but sinfulness always brings misery and suffering upon the participants.

    THE BOOK OF LAMENTATIONS – PART 4 – JUDAH IS REJECTED AND TRODDEN DOWN – MY GREAT PAIN – CHAPTER 1:11-15 Our study in this remarkable book continues as we try to understand the grief of the defeated people and of Jeremiah himself who was overcome by sorrow for is nation.

     | 49,682 views

    I want to be a good servant for Jesus, but in this passage Jesus says I can do all kind of great ministry and still be an "unprofitable servant." What two things does Jesus say can stop me from being the profitable servant for Chris that I want to be?

    OPEN: The KJV translates Luke 17:10 this way: “So likewise ye, when ye shall have done all those things which are commanded you, say, ‘We are unprofitable servants: we have done that which was our duty to do.’” I don’t want to be an “unprofitable servant”.

     | 12,303 views

    One of the keys to participating in evangelism is to figure out how God can use your personality and gifts to make an impact in the lives of others. While Peter was quite confrontational in his approach, Paul utilized a more intellectual line of reasonin

    Discovering Your Style, Part 1 Rev. Brian Bill 2/25/01 Sometimes pastors take some heat for speaking too long.

     | 18,279 views

    We need to rely upon the power of God’s Spirit. His power removes obstacles, not ours. And His power works through you and me. God is not looking for our power but our participation, our availability and not our abilities.

    Many people believe that to survive in this world a person must be tough, strong, and unbending. • But can we? Can we always be tough and strong? No. We all need God’s help.
