    The Christian’s assurance concerning salvation (vs. 13) “These things I have written to you who believe in the name of the Son of God, in order that you may know that you have eternal life.” One of the purposes of John’s letter was to convince the unbelieving, Gnostic follower that Jesus was the ...read more

    The Israelites grumble again against God. Moses responds to their grumbling with anger and loses the privilege of entering the Promised Land. Moses responded with anger and disrespected God. We can learn a few things form an angry man who lashed out against the Creator.

    Introduction Today’s topic is “Being Obedient” and as I look around our society in this COVID-19 time, I see a lot of people who are challenged with being obedient. Many businesses have signs that say you have to wear a mask to enter, yet many don’t obey that sign. We hear repeatedly that we ...read more

    The background for this parable is that multitudes of publicans and sinners came to hear the Lord Jesus. The Pharisees and scribes began to murmur, to criticize Him because of this. They were shocked that He would welcome them and even eat with them.

     | 13,604 views

    When God blessed us, He wants to know if we have been faithful with these blessings. In this message, we will learn from Joshua 22 that God requires us to be faithful in our lifetime. May we develop this attitude of faithfulness starting this New Year.

    Last week, we talked about building great attitudes for the New year. We said that attitude is everything. Attitude is more important than facts, than the past, than education, than money, than circumstances. We cannot change the past but we can change the way we react to difficult situations.

The best that these men could hope for was the release of Simeon and their safe return. (verse 14). Little did these men know ...read more
