(Psalm 88:1-18)…..O Lord, God of my salvation, I have cried out day and night before You. 2 Let my prayer come before You; ]Incline Your ear to my cry. 3 For my soul is full of troubles, And my life draws near to the grave. 4 I am counted with those who go down to the pit; I am like a man who has no strength, 5 Adrift among the dead, Like the slain who lie in the grave, Whom You remember no more, And who are cut off …
(James 1:19-20)…..So then, my beloved brethren, let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to wrath; 20 for the wrath of man does not produce the righteousness of God.
Take a look at what is happening all around us in our society. It has made so many frustrated and angry, which I can totally understand. This time we live in seems to be a major trial for many, especially for the Christian who is trying to navigate through all the wickedness that we see these days. Yet …
(Mark 5:21-34)…..21 Now when Jesus had crossed over again by boat to the other side, a great multitude gathered to Him; and He was by the sea. 22 And behold, one of the rulers of the synagogue came, Jairus by name. And when he saw Him, he fell at His feet 23 and begged Him earnestly, saying, “My little daughter lies at the point of death. Come and lay Your hands on her, that she may be healed, and she will live.” 24 So Jesus went with him, and …
Nearly 2,000 years ago, the Apostle John wrote the following words concerning the return of Christ, “Even so, come, Lord Jesus” (Revelation 22:20). John must have thought he was in the last days, because of the environment he and other believers were in at the time. Paul himself seems to have expected that he would be alive when Jesus returned to this world (1 Thessalonians 4:13-17). He believed that he was in the last days too. Peter also tells us that he is “looking” …
(1 Corinthians 12:3)…..Therefore I make known to you that no one speaking by the Spirit of God calls Jesus accursed, and no one can say that Jesus is Lord except by the Holy Spirit.
What is Paul’s reason for saying this to the Corinthian believers? It was to correct their ignorance of who it really is who speaks on behalf of God, the Holy Spirit. Anybody can say they speak for God, but how does one know if it is a valid message from Him? Does he/she claim that Jesus …

Pastor Dan Nickerson preaches from Psalm 102:1-11
The year 2020 will probably go down in the history books as the year mankind rose to his highest potential with science and their reasoning that they do not need God to fight pandemics. Oh how man has become the fool when he thinks that he can do everything without God. Man has the problem of thinking that all that is in him is adequate (sufficient) for his life to flourish. But this is not so! The Scriptures tell us a different truth, the real truth, (2 Corinthians 3:5)…..Not that …
Jesus’ ministry wasn’t just about Him going around Israel preaching and healing – it also involved the making of disciples who would follow Him wherever He would go. He called several men to several men to do just that. The call of Peter and Andrew (Matthew 4:18-20). The call of James and John (Matthew 4:21-22). The call of Matthew himself (Matthew 9:9). Jesus would end His time on earth with a command for them to make more disciples (Matthew 28:18-20). This is what has become to …
Let’s take another look at yesterday’s passage (Romans 5:3-11) and focus in on God’s plan of reconciliation in (5:11).
3 And not only that, but we also glory in tribulations, knowing that tribulation produces perseverance; 4 and perseverance, character; and character, hope. 5 Now hope does not disappoint, because the love of God has been poured out in our hearts by the Holy Spirit who was given to us. 6 For when we were still without strength, in due time Christ died for the ungodly. 7 For scarcely for …
(Romans 5:3-11)…..3 And not only that, but we also glory in tribulations, knowing that tribulation produces perseverance; 4 and perseverance, character; and character, hope. 5 Now hope does not disappoint, because the love of God has been poured out in our hearts by the Holy Spirit who was given to us. 6 For when we were still without strength, in due time Christ died for the ungodly. 7 For scarcely for a righteous man will one die; yet perhaps for a good man someone would even dare to die. …
