Growing In Faith – Luke 7

Luke 7

In Luke 18:8 Jesus asks this question, “….when the Son of Man comes, will He find faith on the earth?” Why is faith so important to God?  Hebrews 11:6 gives us the answer.  “Without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that He is and He is a rewarder of those who seek Him.” In order to please God we not only need to believe that He is who He says He is, but also trust in His promise to reward our faithfulness. …

The Value of Weakness – (2 Corinthians 12)

Under constant fear of death, Paul was flogged countless times. He was often hungry, thirsty, and cold. Yet even with all of this, God allowed him to be broken further. But instead of giving in or giving up, Paul drew closer to God. And in the process he learned that there is strength in weakness. …

Fruitful Till The End – Psalm 92

Psalm 92

Psalm 92 is known as, “A song for the sabbath day”. It is recited by the Jewish people no less then three times during the Sabbath. Once at night to usher in Sabbath, and twice the following morning. This Psalm is a beautiful expression of praise to God and His wonderful works. But what struck me the most, was verse 14.  “They will still yield fruit in old age; they shall be full of sap and very green.”

Who Dares Mock God – Isaiah 36-39

Isaiah 36-39

In Isaiah chapter seven, the kingdom of Judah is being threatened by surrounding nations. God sends the prophet Isaiah to king Ahaz to deliver a message telling him to have no fear and stand strong. For the plans of the enemy, “shall not stand, nor come to pass.” (vs. 7:7) But instead of trusting God, Ahaz turned to the Assyrians, (with disastrous results), for protection. Now some 34 years later the son of Ahaz, Hezekiah, is king and Judah is once again being threatened. This time it’s by the Assyrians themselves led by king Shennacherib. …
