    Desparate Measures

     | 5,509 views

    We all experience desparate situations. We need to exercise daring faith and experience a divine response

    Mark 5: 21-43 Desperate measures e I think it’s true to say that most parents would do anything for their children. We see it week by week on the television news. Perhaps it’s the desperate desire to give their children the best educational opportunities. Or perhaps the great acts of sacrifice ...read more

    Mary, The Mother Of God

    Contributed by Richard Futrell on Oct 7, 2010
     | 9,746 views

    Elizabeth is Mary’s older relative, yet she considers it an honor that Mary should visit her. She even calls Mary “the mother of my Lord.” And so the Church has called Mary “Theotokos,” which means the bearer of God.

    Intro We are on the cusp of Christmas. In less than a week, we will marvel at the mystery of our Lord’s incarnation, of His taking on our humanity to save us. We are in a time of expectation; we are in Advent. It’s much like being pregnant, where a mother eagerly awaits and watches for the time ...read more

    The Lord has his family; five words from the Ten Commandments describe the major characteristics of this family -- this one is STRONG

    The Lord’s family is our focus this month as we take a look at five words that describe the character and function of a church.

     | 12,045 views

    Like Hosea's children, we name our selves by our sad history, by our isolation, and by our alienation. But in Christ our Brother all these defects are remedied.

    A good many of us, I would guess, are less than happy with our names. What Mom and Dad decided to call us before we had a voice in the matter. Well, I suspect a good many of us would like to change. Some of us just refuse to use our real names. We go by Butch or Bud or Sissie or some such ...read more

     | 1,439 views

    Satan’s wicked schemes – what are they? On this occasion we consider the satanic reaping of children’s impressionable minds; the increase in the occult in various forms; and the murder of the unborn in abortion. We ought to know Satan’s schemes because 2Corinthians 2:11 says we do know them.

SATAN CLAIMS THE IMPRESSIONABLE MIND WHICH HE CHAINS FOR LIFE Children tend to be trusting before they have learned that their peers and adults can not be trusted.
