     | 10,967 views

    Does God keeps His promises?

    Hebrews 13:8 tells us that Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and tomorrow. And since Jesus Christ is God, we can say that God is the same yesterday, today, and tomorrow. What does this mean? Simply, God’s character and His ways never change! We have been learning about God in the ...read more

    God did not look on the appearance, on the height of the stature of a person, on the beauty, on the mighty. He never choose like how we choose. Samuel said to Jesse “God did not choose anyone of these”(1Sam.16:10). Then who?

    David: God's Choice I Sam 13:14. “But now your kingdom will not continue; the Lord has sought out a man after his own heart and the Lord has appointed him to be ruler over his people, because you have not kept because what the Lord has commanded you”.

     | 741 views

    Believers should both hear and act on the Word of God. Those who listen and respond are blessed in their actions.

    Ever had your parents ask you to do something, and you're like, 'Yeah, yeah, I heard you,' but then you never actually do it? It's like you heard the words, but they just didn't sink in. James is telling us that it's not enough to just hear God's Word; we've got to do something about it. Remember ...read more

    Have you realized that when you search the scriptures that God does not commend mankind in the final hour for what they have achieved in this life. God is not impressed with our status – degrees – employment history - titles. Those who found favor

    Yet God given direction for a ministry is not enough. It must be accepted & followed by the people & a plan must be put together to get them toward this God given end. Until the local church commits themselves under God to heed His vision, plan how to ac

    James tells us how to turn hatred into humility, judgment into justice and boasting into belief.

    There is a stark contrast in tone from chapter 3 to chapter 4 Chapter 3 (taming the tongue) closes with words like peace, gentleness, mercy, good fruits…it kind of ends on a good tone…but CH 4 contains words like fights, quarrels, lust, hate, envy, pride and sin. In CH 4 James gives clear advice on ...read more

     | 22,595 views

    Jonathan Edwards wrote “God is glorified not only by His glory’s being seen, but by it being rejoiced in. When those that see it delight in it, God is more glorified than if they only see it…” The question before you is "Do you truly delight in God?"

    Delighting in God Psalm 37:4 "Delight yourself also in the LORD, and He shall give you the desires of your heart." Have you ever asked yourself - "Why was I created? What is the purpose of life?" In 1 Peter 4:11 we read. "That God in all things may be glorified." The chief end of man is to ...read more

    People need to have a better knowledge of what God will do for them when they believe in and accept Him into their lives.

    It is so amazing to me to see different people in the world reject the needs they have. People come into the Salvation Army for financial support because they have lost their jobs, but when we give them a couple of employers that are hiring, they seem to back away. When we get into some sort of ...read more

    The Walk Of The Believer In Jesus (Part 1) Series

     | 1,965 views

    There is a stark difference between the Kingdom of Heaven and the Kingdom of this world. It can be difficult to understand the distinctions for someone new to the faith. We must remember that this world is not our home and the Kingdom of our Lord Jesus is substantially different from the world.

    My God Series

    based on 3 ratings

    For many people, God is far away and is to be approached only at times of need or danger. However, that is far from the truth. God wants each of us to have a very personal relationship with Him. Here's a study on how we can call God as "My God". Be blessed abundantly.

    We read in Psalm 91:1-2, “He who dwells in the shelter of the Most High will abide in the shadow of the Almighty. I will say to the LORD, "My refuge and my fortress, my God, in whom I trust."” (ESV) The Psalmist had a personal relationship with God, and therefore could say of Him, ‘My ...read more
