    God left His people here as physical and visible illustrations of the nature and person of God, which implies the seriousness of our fulfilling our purpose.

    Why Are We Here? Text: Eph.1: 9-10 Intro: The question we’re considering today is one that has puzzled mankind for many years. That question seems to gnaw at the soul of man, for somewhere in the core of his being he knows that life must ultimately have a purpose—that he must have a ...read more

    Not Ashamed Of The Gospel

    Contributed by Simon Bartlett on Oct 15, 2021
     | 4,174 views

    Paul tells Timothy not to be ashamed of the gospel. Christians today can also face that temptation. Paul then gives some solid arguments why Timothy shouldn't be ashamed of the gospel, and they help us too!

    ‘So do not be ashamed of the testimony about our Lord’ Today we’re starting a new four-week series on 2 Timothy. I’m looking forward to this short series! Over the years I’ve studied a number of the New Testament letters but I’ve never really studied 2 Timothy. I’m interested to find out what ...read more

    The unbreakable relationship between one man and God

    May 29, 2021 Many are irritated by the book of Job and either discount it as purely fiction or ignore it all together for one reason – the unfair suffering of Job. Humans care very deeply about fairness and justice and if Job had been a terrible, awful person, we might very well have cheered ...read more

    How Job’s desire for intimacy with God remained even in times of suffering.

    INTIMACY WITH GOD I read recently in a book the following: ‘Look at any Sunday morning congregation and what do you see? Tired women and bored men.’ There is, I believe, some truth in both of those descriptions. It is all too easy to become exhausted in the Christian life. The comment ‘my ...read more

    When I looked at the readings for this Sunday, especially Psalm 46, I said to myself, it ties in so well with what is happening to us today.

    We all go through difficult times in this world. Quite often it is hard to see the proverbial light at the end of the tunnel. But trust me, or should I say trust the Lord. He will be there with you all the way through the journey of your trial.

    Isaiah 35:10 (KJV) And the ransomed of the LORD shall return, and come to Zion with songs and everlasting joy upon their heads: they shall obtain joy and gladness, and sorrow and sighing shall flee away.

    Does God Ever Withdraw His Favor?

    Contributed by Dr. Craig Nelson on Mar 15, 2022
    based on 4 ratings
     | 6,396 views

    There is a belief in the church that when a Born-Again Christian sins or walks in disobedience, God withdraws His favor and blessings to punish them.

    This belief is rooted in the Old Testament, where a relationship with God was conditionally based upon behavior. The Hebrew words translated as ‘favor’ are ‘ratson’ and ‘ratsah.’ The word ‘ratson’ is translated as favor, goodwill, acceptance, desire, pleasure. It most often represents God ...read more
