    The prophet Haggai gives the returned exiles of Judah a wake-up call because of their complacency and recalls them to faithful service to their God who has done some much for them.

    CONSIDER YOUR WAYS A prominent person, I believe it was Henry Ford, is reputed to have said, "history is bunk". Why he said that, I can’t think, because if we don’t learn from the mistakes of the past, we’re sure to repeat them. That’s the story of the world and is especially true for the ...read more

    The Sermon On The Mount (Part Two) Series

    Contributed by Derrick Tuper on Aug 12, 2019
     | 4,209 views

    We started looking into the beatitudes last week by seeing how being poor in spirit, mourning and being meek are things that bring blessing into our lives. Today we continue by looking at how we are blessed by hungering and thirsting for righteousness and being merciful.

    THE SERMON ON THE MOUNT (part two) Matthew 5:6-7 Beatitudes mean declarations of blessedness. The term blessedness means joy. Therefore, the state of blessedness would be a state of joy, which is more than just happy. Blessedness refers to the distinctive spiritual joy of those who are saved. We ...read more

    Man today is trying to give humanistic answers to spiritual problems to solve the emptiness of the soul, but it cannot be done.... The answer may often sound right, look right, and even be politically correct, but we realize that apart from Jesus Chris

    "Death In The Pot" 2 Kings 4:38-41 Someone has observed that we live in a “cut-flower civilization” today. We speak of justice, morals, peace, and ethics, but do not establish a rooted foundation in God. Therefore there is little left to sustain a purposeful life. Things can look good on the ...read more

    The Lord is not against us gathering up some savings, or fill our closet with a few dresses and suits. But our faith and trust should be be rooted in something other than worldly possessions.

    Jesus taught about good works and giving. “Be careful! When you do something good, don’t do it in front of others so that they will see you. If you do that, you will have no reward from your Father in heaven. “When you give to those who are poor, don’t announce that you are giving. Don’t be like ...read more

    based on 84 ratings
     | 22,399 views

    Asaph started to regress toward bitterness because he struggled with over-reacting to the prosperity, pleasures and privileges of others. We all have to choose to become better or slip into bitterness, cynicism and negativity.

    Getting Better or Bitter? (Psa. 73:1-28) "See to it that no one misses the grace of God and that no bitter root grows up to cause trouble and defile many." (Heb. 12:15) Quote: " I have been driven many times to my knees by the overwhelming conviction that I had nowhere else to go" - ABRAHAM ...read more
