Pastor Dan Nickerson preaches from 1 Thessalonians 4:9-12
Only God can answer this question. Fortunately, we have a book available where we can find out what God thinks: the Bible. What a wonderful thought that is! We can read and know what GOD thinks! Don’t let yourself be robbed of this great privilege by being too busy. I hope your plan for today is to spend some quality time in His word with Him.
The Bible tells us that as a father has compassion on his children, so the LORD has compassion on those who fear Him. Another way …
(Matthew 13:24-43)…..Another parable He put forth to them, saying: “The kingdom of heaven is like a man who sowed good seed in his field; 25 but while men slept, his enemy came and sowed tares among the wheat and went his way. 26 But when the grain had sprouted and produced a crop, then the tares also appeared. 27 So the servants of the owner came and said to him, ‘Sir, did you not sow good seed in your field? How then does it have tares?’ 28 He said to them, ‘An …
I don’t know why it is, but there are many professing Christians who don’t trust the words of the Bible. Maybe that is because they have trusted men or women and that trust was violated, so their anti-trust is transferred to God. When we read in (2 Chronicles 16:7-9)…..At that time Hanani the seer came to King Asa and told him, “Because you have put your trust in the king of Aram instead of in the LORD your God, you missed your chance to destroy the army of the king of …

Pastor Dan Nickerson preaches from 1 Thessalonians 3:11-4:8
God is holy! Because God is holy, we are required to be holy as well, (1 Peter 1:15-16)…..but as He who called you is holy, you also be holy in all your conduct, 16 because it is written, “Be holy, for I am holy.” God wants us to be a people that He can possess (1 Peter 2:9). He has blessed us with every spiritual blessing so that we can be holy (Ephesians 1:4). After all, Jesus Himself is holy. As our High Priest, His holiness has been established …

“Sanctify them through Your truth.” (John 17:17). “This is the will of God, even your sanctification.” (1 Thessalonians 4:3). The subject of sanctification is one which many, I fear, dislike exceedingly. Some even turn from it with “scorn” and “disdain.” The very last thing they would like is to be a “saint” or a “sanctified” man. Yet the subject does not deserve to be treated in this way. It is not an enemy, but a friend. It is a subject of the utmost importance to our souls. If the
(2 Thessalonians 3:16)…..Now may the Lord of peace Himself give you peace always in every way. The Lord be with you all. Several times the Bible refers to God as the God of peace. But as English readers we miss the full meaning. The Old Testament was written in Hebrew and the New Testament of the Bible was written in Greek. All English Bibles are translations. The Greek word translated peace is eirene (i-ray’-nay), which corresponds with the Hebrew word translated peace, shalom (shaw-lome’). If you study extensively, both in the …
We are coming to the end of another year with a new year in front of us. Faced with new challenges, it looms out there waiting for you to enter, and enter we will do. But what kind of people will we be as we face all of life problems. Will we be like the people of od that we read about in (Hebrews 11)? This morning take a look at these people in this devotion. Ask the Lord to help you have faith like these. Realize that God has …
