     | 8,057 views

    With the current generation and its notion to question everything including the existence of God, we need to FRESHEN up our Bible Knowledge for the LORD told us that it would be profitable for teaching and defending

    Many nowadays would tell you that CHURCHES are a thing of the past; and that they are OBSOLETE; that they have outlived their purpose. Let us read from Hebrews before we go any further. Hebrews 10:19-25 A REFRESHED CHURCH has a REFRESHED PERSPECTIVE. What do I mean by that? Some of the ...read more

    Jesus In The Lion's Den Series

    Contributed by Scott Maze on Apr 3, 2022
     | 3,152 views

    Let’s fast forward in time around 550 years from Daniel’s day. As we leave our time machine, we have left the ancient land of modern-day Iraq because we now find ourselves in Jerusalem. We arrive at the Mount of Olives at night, just outside the skirts of ancient Jerusalem.

    Daniel’s story is in your Bible so you’ll always know hope. Hope in the Christian sense is the confident and certain expectation of future blessings and the confidence that the best is yet to come. We need a hope that a virus cannot touch. We need a hope that a divorce cannot destroy. We need a ...read more

    High & Holy Becomes Meek & Lowly

    Contributed by Ajai Prakash on Dec 8, 2009
    based on 5 ratings
     | 5,512 views

    Christ exemplified a character of being the humble ruler, the good shepherd and the passionate deliverer. What will we do with this? Should we really care about this at all? Why was God so mindful of us? Why should He have cared? Are we really worth it?

    Opening illustration: Abraham Lincoln’s humble beginnings have become part of American lore. But one historian says that the most difficult part of young Abraham’s life came not during his early years in a Kentucky cabin, but after Thomas Lincoln moved the family to Indiana in 1816. The family ...read more

    Is anger always wrong? This message looks at why we get angry and how we respond to that anger.

    If I asked you to think of an angry person, I would suspect it wouldn’t take very long for a particular person to come to mind. Don’t look around. Maybe your boss, or a stranger that you’ve never met, but you’ve witnessed their anger, maybe it’s someone you are close to, perhaps a parent or a ...read more

    God is so great that nothing happens without His permission, and in that permission His ultimate plan unfolds. In His plan He is able to use for good what man intends for evil. God is in control

    Illustration:As C.S. Lewis wrote, "The greatest evil is not done in those sordid ’dens of crime’ that Dickens loved to paint...it is conceived and...moved, seconded, carried, and minuted...in clean, carpeted, warmed, and well-lighted offices, by quiet men with white collars and cut fingernails and ...read more
