     | 5,308 views

    “why” is not the best question. Seldom are there answers to the “why”, though as we walk through life we may come to see how God was doing good even through difficulty. The better question is “who” – who will not abandon us in the midst of pain?

    Habakkuk asked God why bad people succeed while good people do not. God's answer, they don't.

    The Punishing Rod Part One Habakkuk 1:1-11 When Habakkuk was disturbed, he brought his interests straightforwardly to God. In the wake of accepting God's responses, he then reacted with a supplication of faith. Habakkuk's model is one that ought to support us as we battle to move from ...read more

    What was it about what Peter preached on Pentecost that cut his audience to the heart and prompted them to ask "What shall we do?" And what can we learn from what he said that can help us be more effective about sharing our faith?

    We just read a sermon by the Apostle Peter - a sermon he preached on the day of Pentecost - and it was so powerful that about 3000 people responded by asking: WHAT SHALL WE DO? And then they repented of their sin and were baptized into Christ. Their future was changed because of what Peter said. ...read more

    The command God gave Noah made no sense on any level. Studying the account, we can no doubt learn something essential about faith.

    “The earth was corrupt in God’s sight, and the earth was filled with violence. And God saw the earth, and behold, it was corrupt, for all flesh had corrupted their way on the earth. And God said to Noah, ‘I have determined to make an end of all flesh, for the earth is filled with violence through ...read more

    Perhaps some of us are feeling inadequate to do something for the kingdom. We can start by getting people to attend church. All it takes is to think of someone we know, and then to invite that individual to join us. It's that simple!

    This morning I wish to address a question that many believers have, and that is “How do we get people to come to church?” First of all, it is important for us to realize something I once saw stated on a church sign. Where the pastor’s name is normally listed, someone had posted this: “Minister: ...read more
