    Have you ever felt as if your efforts were in vain, and questioned if you were making a difference? We find ourselves questioning God, and tempted to abandon the work. We are not the first to feel this way. God is able to provide the strength we need.

    Compelled to Continue Jeremiah 20:9 The life and ministry of Jeremiah was interesting to say the least. He is commonly known as the “Weeping Prophet,” and for good reason. His ministry spanned forty years in Judah, leading up to their captivity at the hands of the Babylonians. During his faithful ...read more

    In these trying times when calamity engulfs us, many have grown weary in their prayer life. God wants to reassure such that there is definitely a reward for those who pray fervently. The time we spend alone in the presence of God, behind shut doors is not in vain.

    Psalm 91 - Study 20 - A Sure Reward We read in Psalm 91:8, “Only with your eyes shall you look, and see the reward of the wicked.” (NKJV) The word that we will study in depth from the above mentioned verse is the word ‘reward’. For every action of ours we can be certain that there is a ...read more

    One of the disciples asked Jesus to teach them how to pray (Luke 11:1). Jesus said that prayer should not be a way to get attention and praise from people. It is wrong to pray to impress people. It should be done with a right heart toward God.

    The Lord's Prayer Main Point: God wants us to spend time with Him in prayer. Key Verse: Jesus often went away to be by Himself and pray. - Luke 5:16 Background/Review Jesus had come to earth to bring the Kingdom of God to men.

    However, for many people, serving doesn't conjure up a positive image. Instead, they think of endless menial chores, cleaning up other people's messes, and catering to their vain whims. Yet the New Testament calls us to become servants of one another.

    What do you think of when you hear the word serve? No, I don't mean the opening hit of the racket in a tennis match. I'm not even talking about your waiter or waitress at Shiela’s. I mean what does a servant look like? What picture comes to mind? It's possible that you have a positive image. ...read more
