The central theme of Psalm 46 is the assurance of God's protection and presence during crises. We note, that fear is a terrible thing. Fear causes us to settle for second best. Fear may even keep us from answering God’s call.

One of the hardest lessons we need to learn is that not many worthwhile things in life are ever given, most have to be earned. It appears that work is part of the plan of God for our lives. The apostle Paul believed this. Work is seen as part of God's perfect creation. Work is not merely as a means of survival, but as a way to participate in God's creative order.

God has drawn a line in the sand that the devil cannot cross - We must recognize that God’s boundaries not only protect us but also guide us toward righteousness.
Paul says that we must be ready for anything that threatens our faith. Paul knew that the Thessalonians would face pressure from persecution, false teachers, worldliness, and apathy, causing them to waver from the truth and possibly to leave the faith. Paul wants us to b...

Paul often encouraged believers to live out grace in their relationships, forgiving one another as God has forgiven each of us. Grace teaches us to let go of bitterness and embrace the freedom that comes from forgiving others.

Paul thought he was nearing the end of his life, and so Paul could confidently say that he had been faithful to his call. Paul writes this letter to Timothy. At the same time, it's a reminder to all of us that life is a continuous journey, and until our last breath there is still much to achieve and learn.

Paul essentially says: don’t give up! Continue to live as you know you should, God is the only one you need to please. He also says: don’t expect false teachers and evil people to reform and change on their own. Left alone, they will go from bad to worse. If you have the opportunity, correct them, give them the opportunity to come back to faith in Christ.

2 Timothy 2:2 tells us: Timothy, my dear son, be strong through the grace that God gives you in Christ Jesus. You have heard me teach things that have been confirmed by many reliable witnesses. Now teach these truths to other trustworthy people who will be able to pass them on to others”.
This is what Paul told TImothy, but it’s for any leader. Just imagine, if the church were to consistently follow this advice from 2 Timothy 2:...

As we live our lives of faith, we may be surrounded by a large crowd or a small group of trusted companions. Whatever the size of our community, we are born with a need to walk this road of life with fellow travelers. We need to “go with” others on the path we have been set upon by what we had learned. We are empowered by those who walk with us, be it family, or close sincere friends. Paul had left Timothy in Ephesus to help the ch...

Why is it so difficult to have true contentment? It’s difficult to have true contentment due to several factors. One might be our mindset and our behavior, which can often lead us to feel unfulfilled despite our achievements. Another could be the constant reminders (the marketing) of things we are missing out on, which can hinder our ability to find contentment.
But then when is enough… enough? There is a difference between what ...

Jesus is the sole mediator, acting as the bridge between humanity and God. No one else can mediate our relationship with God! "Godliness" and "Dignity" emphasize the importance of a life that is both spiritually mature and morally upright. Godliness refers to a devoted life, it is a discipline that requires intentional effort and training, much like physical exercise, and that exercise is what daily prayer is.
And then, there ar...

Our current Series is called: Living with… it’s about the principles we are born with, the traditions in place at home, at church, the life choices we make, and how we deal with everyday situations. We’ll look at how important it is to live according to what the Bible (the Word inspired from God) teaches us, acknowledging the Bible’s ultimate authority. We read: “Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path.”

Paul probably wrote this letter during the year 60 A.D. while he was under house arrest. Onesimus was a domestic slave who belonged to Philemon, a wealthy man and a member of the church in Colosse. Onesimus had run away from Philemon and had made his way to Rome, where he met Paul, who apparently led him to Christ. Paul is asking Philemon for an incredibly generous gesture.

The love of God is a profound concept that encompasses His unconditional care, that encompasses two things that when seen or placed close together show a contrasting effect: mercy, and grace on one hand and discipline towards us his children on the other. And Yes, we are His children.

How might we improve our relationship with God? If our minds are occupied with the problems of the day. It’s like we lose our focus on God. There is a massive disconnect between what the people have been doing for God and what God wants. Perhaps we even hate how our sin has separated us from God, and we want that relationship mended. Everything is fine until we seek to resolve those issues ourselves; by ourselves.

This text teaches that human opinions are subject to change, but God's truth remains constant. We tend to form opinions on all matters in life, as Christians in today’s world, we might consider that even though Jeremiah got his message from God, he was unpopular, because his message showed the people how bad they were. As for us? Well, we don’t want to lose friends or family, so it’s more comfortable to shrug our shoulders and just...

Practical matters refer to actions and decisions that are directly related to everyday life and can be applied in real-world situations. In Luke 12, Jesus, the Son of God, was teaching his disciples, the crowds gathered to hear him, they were eager to listen. Keep in mind, that although it was not mentioned, Jesus was not teaching men only, he was teaching women and children too. May your life be more like Christ’s so that when he ...

Hosea was the last great prophet that God sent to the northern Kingdom of Israel before they were destroyed and exiled by the Assyrians. He presents a powerful message of God’s love for his people, even while they were sinning against Him.

Christian faith provides a growth track into knowledge of the truth; but along the way, how do we guard against being deceived by lies masquerading as “well crafted arguments"? Consider, if your growth track is too narrow, you might become thick-headed and insular. No one can teach you a thing, and love, love disappears from your life. But if your track is too wide and every idea is an exciting new possibility, you will waste a lot...

We cannot expect a rose to bloom if we planted a sunflower
We need to distinguish between freedom to sin and freedom to serve.
We have the freedom of choice, but we do not have the liberty to alter or change the repercussions of that decision.
You harvest what you plant. Always.
