Stand on the Word of God
on December 26th, 2022
All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness, so that the servant of God may be thoroughly equipped for every good work. (2 Timothy 3:16-17)You cannot be part of a church without believing the Bible. The church is not to be a social club. The church is not to be a political force. The church can make an impact on our social lives, a... Read More

Jesus Is the Messiah
on December 25th, 2022
And without faith it is impossible to please God, because anyone who comes to him must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who earnestly seek him. (Hebrews 11:6) One of the greatest debates in human history has been whether or not Jesus is the Messiah. The word “Messiah” means “anointed one.” It is the description of the individual who the Jews were expecting to usher in the redempti... Read More

Wisdom in the Bible
on December 24th, 2022
If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask God, who gives generously to all without reproach, and it will be given him. (James 1:5)The Bible makes it very clear that if we ask for wisdom, the Lord will grant us wisdom. This is one of my favorite promises in all of Scripture. When we pray for wisdom, we can’t just expect God to grant us wisdom. We need to do our part. The best way for us to gain wisd... Read More

The Gift of Jesus
on December 23rd, 2022
Have this mind among yourselves, which is yours in Christ Jesus, who, though he was in the form of God, did not count equality with God a thing to be grasped. Rather, he made himself nothing by taking the very nature of a servant, being made in human likeness. (Philippians 2:5-7)The word “doxology” comes from two Greek words, one which means “praise” or “glory,” and the other one which means “wor... Read More

The Name of Jesus
on December 22nd, 2022
But after he had considered this, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream and said, “Joseph son of David, do not be afraid to take Mary home as your wife, because what is conceived in her is from the Holy Spirit. She will give birth to a son, and you are to give him the name Jesus, which means the Lord saves, because he will save his people from their sins.” (Matthew 1:20-21)As soon as th... Read More

A Hardened Heart
on December 21st, 2022
But because of your hard and impenitent heart you are storing up wrath for yourself on the day of wrath when God's righteous judgment will be revealed. (Romans 2:5)Scripture tells us that in the end times, many people’s hearts will be hardened toward the Lord. What does it mean to have a hardened heart? We will look at that today and identify the signs for those who might be on the path of a harde... Read More

The Center of God’s Will
on December 20th, 2022
For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord. (Romans 6:23)You have probably heard this verse many times before. Unfortunately, when we read this verse, we focus only on the phrase “the gift of God is eternal life,” and overlook the phrase “the wages of sin is death.”Because of sin, death comes. We live in a fallen world; we are fallen men and women.... Read More

Reasons for Baptism
on December 19th, 2022
Or don’t you know that all of us who were baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into his death? (Romans 6:3)Because of our Judeo-Christian faith, baptism is important. These are two more reasons for believers to be baptized:Baptism shows that you are committed to Christ. When someone is baptized, it says, “I am committed publicly to Jesus. I am committed publicly to you who are part of the body... Read More

Why Do We Baptize?
on December 18th, 2022
Then Jesus came from Galilee to the Jordan to be baptized by John. But John tried to deter him, saying, “I need to be baptized by you, and do you come to me?” Jesus replied, “Let it be so now; it is proper for us to do this to fulfill all righteousness. ”Then John consented. (Matthew 3:13-15)After you become a Christian (when you fully surrender your life to Jesus and place your faith in Him), y... Read More

Celebrate God’s Provision
on December 17th, 2022
Praise the Lord. Praise God in his sanctuary; praise him in his mighty heavens. Praise him for his acts of power; praise him for his surpassing greatness. Let everything that has breath praise the Lord. Praise the Lord. (Psalm 150:1-2, 6)As this year is nearly over, many of us take the time to intentionally look back on the events of the past year. We think about all that has transpired over the... Read More

Hope Through God
on December 16th, 2022
Cast your cares on the Lord and He will sustain you; He will never let the righteous be shaken. (Psalm 55:22)It has been said, “A person can live a few days without water, a few minutes without air, but not a moment without hope.” Beyond the circumstances, crises and burdens of life, some people believe there is something better just ahead. Hope is something nearly everyone relies on to push the... Read More

Praying Friends
on December 15th, 2022
For this reason, since the day we heard about you, we have not stopped praying for you… (Colossians 1:9)Praying friends are very special! Like a boxer who has a team of encouragers in his corner, we must have a team of intercessors and ministers in our corner, as well. When the bell rings and you step to the center of the ring, having those friends who are for you and cheering you on, is invaluab... Read More
