May we understand, with all God’s people, how wide, how long, how high, and how deep His love really is. May we experience the love of Christ, though it is so great we will never fully grasp it this side of heaven. Then we will be filled with the fullness of life and power that comes from God.

How can words describe, or humans fully understand, something that is as deep as God Himself? God’s love is greater than words have the ability to communicate. It is impossible to put into …

It seems that the theme of “JOY” has come up in several conversations this past and present weeks. I have heard several times “Count it all joy when you fall into various trials….” and “Rejoice always and I say rejoice.” After all isn’t joy being produced in us through the cultivating and pruning work of the Holy Spirit (Galatians 5:22)? But where is this joy directed? To this world and the stuff in it, or to the LORD of heaven and all He has there. Listen to the words of this …

Have you given much thought lately of where the world is headed? You might be asking, “what’s up with Israel these days? I think we are closer than we realize to the return of Jesus Christ our LORD. But as we eagerly wait for His return, the world, and the devil are preparing for the anti-christ’s arrival. The man of sin (anti-christ) is the one of whom the Scripture calls – the prince to come (Daniel 9:26-27). His coming will be according to the working of satan (John 8:44), …

(Genesis 1:26)…..Then God said, “Let Us make man in Our image, according to Our likeness; let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, over the birds of the air, and over the cattle, over all the earth and over every creeping thing that creeps on the earth.” (Genesis 1:26)

Here we have the first of man – his origin and his destiny entirely Divine. God undertook the stupendous work of making a creature who is not God, to be a perfect likeness of Him in His Divine glory. …

(Philippians 4:4)…..Rejoice in the Lord always. Again I will say, rejoice! How many time have you read this verse, or heard it spoken by someone else? It is a small verse with a very tall order, at least it is for me. At least five times the Bible tells the people of God to rejoice in the Lord. We may not always be able to rejoice in other people, or in our circumstances. But we can rejoice in the LORD. Certainly, people can be frustrating. People can be immature. People can …

Having been declared righteous, we have peace toward God through our Lord Jesus Christ, much more, then, having been declared righteous now in his blood, we shall be saved through him from the wrath…..

The Bible clearly teaches that doctrine throughout its pages. It becomes even clearer when you realize that often the same word that is translated “righteous or made righteous” is instead translated “just or justified.” The Bible is full of rich truths like this, but they are not always on the surface. It can take a little digging …

This morning you probably got up, grabbed your bible, and went somewhere in your home to pray. maybe that is the way you started your day. At least that is probably what should happen on a daily basis in all our lives. Especially when we realize that God gave Himself to us so we could enjoy Him and love Him. It is a mistake to view prayer as a legalistic obligation. Prayer is a privilege in the life of a Christian. Time with God is a privilege. It should never be …

What would be the purpose for God to chasten His children? Or why does the Sovereign God allow for hardships, sufferings, and trials in the lives of His children (those who by faith believe the gospel of Jesus Christ? This morning think about this if you are going through the chastening of the Heavenly Father. Our LORD chastens us for…..

2. So we will not be condemned with the world – (1 Corinthians 11:31-32)
