    Harsh Words Series

     | 8,095 views

    Jesus tongue is a sword. His words are God’s words and they have power to heal or destroy. How do we handle hearing harsh words from heaven’s holy herald?

    Read or quote Mark 7. Does God’s word ever say something that bothers you? I dare say, if you have never had that experience, you must not be reading your Bible much! The word of God comforts the afflicted and afflicts the comfortable, does it not? God told Jeremiah, (23:29) "Is not My word ...read more

    The Eword scares so many Christians. I tmakes them give excuses and avoid doing what we are suposed to do.

    The “E” word I am not sure that any of you have noticed something about me. I don’t necessarily think it is weird but you might. I spend a little time each week thinking about stuff that seem like it should not matter to anyone. My thought this week; I wonder, as you are heading to church ...read more

    Words are the tools we use to bring the healing Living Word, the Christ, to those in grief.

    SPEAK THE WORD JOHN 4__16—26 What did he say? Did he say anything; anything that made sense? Such questions arise after the usual Sunday morning sermon. Words, words, words. In this time and place, do the words uttered in church mean anything? One doesn’t have to search very far in our world ...read more

    Many times we see people who say one thing and do another. This makes it difficult for us to trust people. When it comes to God how does what He says stack up to what He does?

    God blesses His Word. The remnant heard God’s will clearly revealed in His Word and they didn’t ignore it or put it aside. They no longer stalled and delayed. This time, when they heard God’s Word, they obeyed His will. And when that happens, God blesses.

    1. God blessed the remnant with firm audacity (5:5) 2. God blessed the remnant with a fair assessment (5:6-6:5) 3. God blessed the remnant with a fervent advocate (6:6-13) 4.

    God is not a God to be trifled with. God is not a God to take for granted. Even if our observation of the world leaves us perplexed and confused, God has revealed himself to us in his word. He’s revealed his plan for the world to us. He’s told us what he’

    You could be forgiven for wondering, as you read through this book, what the writers view on God is. At times he seems like a secular humanist. A little bit jaded by his experience of life; quite cynical about life on earth; almost pessimistic at times about our chances of succeeding in life with ...read more

    Walking in the Word Romans 9:6-17 * Turn with me to Romans 9 and let’s read verses 6-17. * Romans 9-11 are almost a “book” unto themselves.
