    God Almighty is the God that has been for always and will be for always. He is creator, protector, and provider. Since he is all of this what's wrong with waiting for him to come to us at the right time. As we wait He is with us and we can mount up on wings of Eagles.

    Sermon Title:  I will be what I will be. Scripture Text: Isaiah 40: 21-31 Illustration: The boy listened closely as the rabbi read the Bible. 'May I ask a question?' The young boy asked. 'Sure. Go ahead. Ask your question,' replied the rabbi. 'Well, the Bible says that ...read more

    The people of Edom may have thought, "we have done nothing wrong"; however, they had. God uses Obadiah to give them the reasons they would be judged harshly for the wrongs they had done.

    In our lesson tonight Obadiah gives the reasons why Edom would be judged so severely by God. 10 Because of the violence against your brother Jacob, This is a very clear statement of why Edom is being judged by God. Someone may try to argue that Edom did not do violence against Israel. They were ...read more

    We can see how quickly satan can attack. In a short time Peter went from confessing Jesus to rebuking Jesus. Jesus teaches us how we can be on guard against our wiley foe as well as how to live with purpose for Him.

    (see also Mark 8:27-30) for context. Dear beloved in Christ... In our Gospel reading there is much to grab our attention as Jesus is in process of predicting his death and resurrection. We hear about how Jesus must suffer many things and that we are called to take up our cross and follow Jesus. ...read more
