CAUGHT IN THE STORM

by

CAUGHT IN THE STORM Have you ever been caught in a storm? Stormy weather can cause some very intense feelings and reactions in us. Stormy Weather Can Cause Fear. In Matthew 14:22-33 is the story of Peter walking on the water. To set the scene, a storm came up while the disciples were in a ship and they were afraid when they saw Jesus walking on the water toward them. Jesus told them Who He was and then Peter, one of the disciples walked on the water too–well, at first. When Peter looked around and saw the storm, he was …

Jesus Christ, the Seeking Savior

by

Jesus Christ, the Seeking Savior John 3:16-17 16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. 17 For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved. In this busy and impersonal high-tech world, it seems easier than ever to ignore Jesus Christ. We are led to believe that every challenge can be met quickly and self-sufficiently, often through some online resource. After all, if we want to keep our eyes …

The hope which is laid up for you in heaven.”—Colossians 1:5.

by

The hope which is laid up for you in heaven.”—Colossians 1:5 OUR hope in Christ for the future is the mainspring and the mainstay of our joy here. It will animate our hearts to think often of heaven, for all that we can desire is promised there. Here we are weary and toilworn, but yonder is the land of rest where the sweat of labour shall no more bedew the worker’s brow, and fatigue shall be for ever banished. To those who are weary and spent, the word “rest” is full of heaven. We are always in the field of …

ANTICIPATING VICTORY

by

JUDGES 7:20 ___________________________________________ “Then the three companies blew the trumpets and broke the pitchers – they held the torches in their left hands and the trumpets in their right hands for blowing – and they cried, ‘The sword of the Lord and of Gideon!’” ANTICIPATING VICTORY October 1, 2018 Here’s a living parable for us to learn from. Gideon had instructed his little army of three hundred to prepare for battle. Imagine all of them gathered around him as he announced the latest strategy, fresh from the Israeli war room. He looks around at the group of eager soldiers and says, “Here’s …

The Mysteries of God

by

In Defense of the Faith Monday, October 01, 2018 Pete Garcia I’ve often asked myself why was the Bible written the way it was…a little here, a little there.  God’s message to mankind, parceled out over 1,600 years to around 40 different writers, all from vastly different times and backgrounds.  Why do some subjects lend themselves to such an extent, that opposing views, whether it is on Baptism or the Second Coming, seemingly justify their opposing points of view?  You know what I’m talking about.  Any time you’ve discussed the bible with anyone else, you point to this verse to …

Learning Christ

by

Learning Christ But you have not so learned Christ; If so be that you have heard him, and have been taught by him, as the truth is in Jesus. (Eph. 4:20-21) Some professing Christians are like walking encyclopedias of the Bible. They practically have it memorized. Yes, it is great to know scripture. But some of those same folks are, “ever learning, but never able to come to the knowledge of the truth.” (II Tim. 3:7) It is possible to learn all of the doctrines about Jesus Christ right from the Bible, but to never LEARN CHRIST. Do we realize …

God’s Presence in Suffering

God’s Presence in Suffering Job 2:11–13 Job’s Three Friends Share His Anguish 11 When three of Job’s friends heard of the tragedy he had suffered, they got together and traveled from their homes to comfort and console him. Their names were Eliphaz the Temanite, Bildad the Shuhite, and Zophar the Naamathite. 12 When they saw Job from a distance, they scarcely recognized him. Wailing loudly, they tore their robes and threw dust into the air over their heads to show their grief. 13 Then they sat on the ground with him for seven days and nights. No one said a …
