    We’re to live such lives of purity that we glorify God not just with our words but with our whole bodies. And as a church we’re to encourage one another to live lives of purity so that the church is strengthened in its purity, not weakened.

     | 7,180 views

    Jude's first desire was to write a friendly letter to encourage the church, but instead God pressed on Him to write one of conviction and dire warning to all. As Christians, we must be willing to use this example to share God's word truthfully as well!

    Jude’s Warning (Part 1) Jude 1-7 Introduction - Tonight we will begin to examine the book of Jude - Show of hands … be honest, who has ever read this book before? - It is unknown who this letter is written to --Probably written around 70 to 80 AD, to an early church for sure -- ...read more

    When we step out by faith in God, led by the Spirit of God, grounded in the Word of God, we see visible answers to our faith. These answers act as verification for our faith in the unseen spiritual realities and encourage its growth.

These men and women became more than they could have imagined because their faith attached them to God. God therefore built His enabling ...read more

    In this Gospel Lesson we hear our Savior speak words of warning and encouragement. Jesus said that there is only one way to enter heaven. He said that we should make every effort to: “ENTER THROUGH THE NARROW DOOR”

Crickets. The teacher was confident that the students knew the answer, so she waited patiently. ...read more

    Text transmission is a critical part of our faith. We must be assured we have heard from God. Here is a comparison of the two processes that brought forth the 2 Holy Books of our faiths.

Possible answer one: In Israel, it was the religion. That is, the encounter. For many hundreds of years, there was no full book in Israel. But the ...read more

    Motherhood is important and valuable. But it can also be difficult and at times discouraging. God has blessed mothers with the promise of rewards for faithfully loving and serving your family. These promises will inspire and encourage you as a mother.

    THE REWARDS OF MOTHERHOOD TEXT: Proverbs 31: 27-31 INTRODUCTION Motherhood continues to get a bad rap in our culture. Feminists and liberals look down on “stay at home” moms and treat them as if they have settled for less. Society has all but destroyed any notion of a one income family in ...read more
