A Case Study Of Spiritual Warfare
To understand spiritual warfare, we need to begin with acknowledging that we are in a war. We also need to understand that the battle we’re in is bigger than the battle we see.
What God Plans For You He Saves For You
In today’s message, David finds himself at odds with King Saul who is envious of how God is using him. But God has some plans for David that no one will be able stop. And guess what? God has plans for you too, and He can bring them to pass regardless of the forces that try to stop them.
What A Good Friend Looks Like
Today’s story is a story about friendship. The Bibles says that Jonathan’s and David’s souls were knit together. Their love for one another is a true example of friendship at its zenith. There is much to learn about what real friendship looks like as we look at theirs.
Lessons From David & Goliath
We’re all familiar with the story. It’s one of the most well know stories in the Bible. You may think you’ve heard it all, but today’s teaching of this familiar tale is both fresh and insightful.
What Life Is Like Without The Holy Spirit
There are number of things that would make our lives a lot harder and a lot less beautiful if they ceased to be a part of our daily experiences. In today’s message we look at what life would be like without the presence of the Holy Spirit. Excuse my english, but it ain’t pretty.
God Chooses Very Strangely
As we continue our journey through the book of 1 Samuel, today’s teaching might seem to be illogical to the natural mind. But those whose spiritual perception is fine tuned will understand how God ‘choices sometimes seem a bit strange.
Disobedience Has Consequences
There’s a truism that sheds light on situations where one might think that they “got away” with something: “Just because you didn’t hear the trap snap doesn’t mean you didn’t get caught!” Today passage shows clearly that disobedience has consequences.
Disobedience Calls For Discipline
We talk a lot about discipleship but don’t often make the connection between the word disciple and the word discipline. Be it children at home or adults at church, discipline is not popular, but it is often necessary. In today’s passage we find that disobedience calls for discipline. It did then, and it still does today.
God Uses Ordinary People
Often when we read of the exploits of those God used in His Word, we think of them as supermen or super women. Even in our day and time as we see those who are making a real difference in the lives of others, we might ask ourselves, “Who am I?” and “What can I do? I’m just an ordinary person.” It’s time to roll up your sleeves and get to work. Using ordinary people is God’s specialty.
God is A God Of Second Chances
One of the amazing dynamics of God’s character is His incredible patience with us. Psalm 86:15 says it well: "But you, O Lord, are a God merciful and gracious, slow to anger and abounding in steadfast love and faithfulness." The Bible is full of people who received second chances, and even third and fourth chances: Peter, Jonah, Mark, Samson, David, and others. And thankfully, you can add your name to the list.
