Great People Of Faith
June 20th, 2020
(Hebrews 11:32-38)…..And what more shall I say? For the time would fail me to tell of Gideon and Barak and Samson and Jephthah, also of David and Samuel and the prophets: who through faith subdued kingdoms worked righteousness, obtained promises, stopped the mouths of lions, quenched the violence of fire, escaped the edge of the sword, out of weakness were made strong, became valiant in battle, turned to flight the armies of the aliens. Women received their dead raised to life again. Others were tortured, not accepting deliverance, that they might obtain a better resurrection. Still, others …
Birthmarks Of The Believer
June 20th, 2020
(Acts 11:26)…..And when he had found him, he brought him to Antioch. So it was that for a whole year they assembled with the church and taught a great many people. And the disciples were first called Christians in Antioch.
So here is a question for the ages. One that probably should be asked more often than not – especially in the times we are in today. With so many people in the world claiming to be Christians, while not walking as one and causing more confusion a reason for unbelief, I think it is important to …
Full Access For The Believer In Christ
June 17th, 2020
(Ephesians 2:11-12)…..Therefore remember that you, once Gentiles in the flesh – who are called Uncircumcision by what is called the Circumcision made in the flesh by hands – that at that time you were without Christ, being aliens from the commonwealth of Israel and strangers from the covenants of promise, having no hope and without God in the world.
Just think of that verse for a moment. Think about where you were before Jesus Christ became your Lord and Savior. Lost! That is an easy way to describe our position in this world. We were without hope, …
Who Can Separate Us?
June 16th, 2020
Have you ever thought that Jesus doesn’t love you? Or that He doesn’t love you anymore because of something you have done, or because you think you failed Him in some way? The truth is there are many people who are true Christians, who have trouble believing that God really does love them. And that He will always continue to do so. Yet we read in…..
(Romans 8:35)…..Who will separate us from the love of Christ? Will tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword?
The question laid before us in …

Don’t Sow Discord!
June 15th, 2020
There are six things that the LORD hates, seven that are an abomination to him: haughty eyes, a lying tongue, and hands that shed innocent blood, a heart that devises wicked plans, feet that make haste to run to evil, a false witness who breathes out lies, and one who sows discord among brothers (Proverbs 6:16-19)
There is a lot of differences of opinion, differences in view of doctrine, worldliness, envy, strife, gossip in the body of Christ these days. Much of it has to do with pride, selfishness, and the like. One of the results is …
Press Toward The Mark
June 14th, 2020
(Philippians 3:14)…..I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of
God in Christ Jesus.
Think about what we value in our culture, what’s important to most people as we live day today. Think about what we chase after as a people. What will really matter at the end of your life on earth? Will, what you are giving attention to now still be important then? Or, will you be filled with regret for what you did — or
didn’t do?
We have so many things in our lives that occupy our devotion, and …
