    Racy Words

    Contributed by Perry Greene on Jul 22, 2019
     | 2,948 views

    The Christian journey can be described as a "race." We choose the kind of race we run -- fun and games; obligatory; or the long-term run.

    1. Last week we “passed the baton” in regard to teaching people the word of God from generation to generation and person to person. 2. It made me think of the ancient Roman Games and how they were used as illustrations for the Christian life. 3. The Games in Rome were a big deal. Although much of ...read more

    Wait patiently, it will come to pass.

    WATCHING FOR THE WORD. Habakkuk 1:1-2:4. This is the oracle or “burden” which Habakkuk the prophet did “see” (Habakkuk 1:1). So, right from the top, we understand that the prophet’s patient waiting of Habakkuk 2:1 paid off. When Habakkuk speaks of his message as a burden, it is to ...read more

    The Bible records seven last statements that Christ uttered while he was on the cross. While Christ was on the cross, he was doing his greatest work; he was uttering some of his greatest words.

    Last Words. Not too long after my twenty-second birthday, I arrived in Vietnam, a machine-gunner in the 199th Light Infantry Brigade. My first combat was only a few days later. Combat tends to grow one up quickly. The man to my right, whose shoulder was only a foot away from my own, got a face ...read more

    The Word of God is living & powerful, sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the division of soul & spirit, joints & marrow, & is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.

    I was watching TV the other night when a commercial came on. The narrator said these words, "We all know words have power." That got my attention. I heard that and I couldn't help wonder to myself, "Do we really?" Do we really know how powerful our words can be? Do we know ...read more

    The authority of Scripture is crucial to our faith. The Bible is either God’s word or mere human opinion.

    I give you my word!” How often have we heard this? We hear it from politicians, salespersons, recruiters, unlicensed contractors, and unreliable people in general. When people give us their “word,” how dependable is their word? When they make claims and promises, we need to know their basis of ...read more

    There Is Power In Words!

    I suppose that every parent here today can relate to the question: What does the future hold for my children. In fact, most parents probably worry about it more than the child does.

    I suppose that every parent here today can relate to the question: What does the future hold for my children. In fact most parents probably worry about it more than the child does.

    The word of God is quick and powerful.. It is sharper than any two edged sword. The word of God is his will. When we pray the word of God, we pray his will for our lives.

    Prayer is the heart cry of man to God. It is believers communicating with thier father and getting a response from him. When we pray according to God's will, he answers and grants our petitions. When we however pray amiss we may not get what we desire. James 4 vs 3 says: "Ye ask and ...read more

    Using our words wisely is crucial for healthy relationships. We should learn to sit with others in their pain, use our words to build others up, guard our hearts, and be aware of our options to speak positively or negatively.

    Today, we're going to talk about our words. You know, those things we say without thinking sometimes? Yeah, those. Let's see what the Bible has to say about it. Ever heard of a guy named Job? Dude had it rough. Lost everything. His friends came to visit him, and you know what they did? They didn't ...read more

    Confession and prayer within the body of Christ bring spiritual and relational healing. Through prayer and openness, believers can find restoration and help others who have wandered from the truth.

    Hey guys! Today we're diving into the book of James, and it's got some real talk for us. James is all about showing our faith through what we do, not just what we say. Today's focus? The power of words, confession, and prayer. Let's read James 5:13-20 together. James is telling us that prayer isn't ...read more
