It is said that a mill cannot turn on water that has passed. Once the water has passed the impeller, it can no longer push the wheel to turn. Similarly, we cannot continue to operate on yesterday's blessing. We need a fresh flow daily to maintain a relationship with God. Our text says the fire on the altar should never go out, but the fire will not be fueled by the ashes left over from the previou...

All have experienced a time when life got tough Sickness, losing a job, or dealing with the results of a poor decision, difficult situations are part of life. Our text from the Passion Translation says, “If life gets difficult,” but other translations say when life gets difficult. The old saying is that when the going gets tough, the tough get going. You don’t overcome life’s difficulties by quitt...

Our text reminds us that nothing is more important than the word of God. It is often referred to as a law. It is a means of instruction to provide a blueprint for living life. It is given to be a source of joy and gladness. It is not a list of things we cannot do but an enlightening testament to what is possible. When properly understood, it forms a bond between God and us that draws us to a highe...

In the story of Bartimaeus, we see a picture of the spirit and the attitude one must have to experience the gifts God has for us. As Jesus and his entourage passed through this city, people who wanted to glimpse the master lined the roadway. Bartimaeus was a blind man whose livelihood was begging by the roadside. As Bartimaeus heard the murmuring and commotion of Jesus’ passing, he asked what was...

Brother Nance uses the story of the four men who lowered their friend through the roof to reach Jesus to illustrate that our faith cannot be bound by normal.

We have all seen the comic strip activity where there are two very similar pictures, and we are asked to find the difference. They are very similar, but some minor detail changes in the second picture. These games are relatively trivial, and we expect them to become easier as we gain wisdom and knowledge. However, the truth is that as life gets more complex, the differences become more complex. It...

Too many people give the Devil power he does not have. His only power is what we give him with our words and choices. Brother Hughes uses Psalm 118 to teach us that the devil has no power.

God operates differently than you and I. God looks at the outcome, works backward to our present, and orchestrates things to suit His purpose. God has the complete vision of every one of us. We struggle through the issues of life and try to make it one day at a time, but God has it already charted out. Thousands of things frustrate the plan between the beginning and the end. None of them is a surp...

The Pharisees in our text could not have cared less about taxes. Their goal was to entrap Jesus in his words. Jesus responds to render unto Ceaser what is Cesar’s and render unto God what is God’s. Jesus distinguished that there are things that belong to the earthly world and others that belong to God. The worldly things are temporal, and the Godly things are eternal. Jesus tells them that if Cesa...

Our text depicts a weighty time. Jesus knew what he would face in the next few days. He tells the disciples what is about to happen, which must have sounded unbelievable to them. Jesus returns to a place where he had prayed many times in this heaviest time. He takes three of his closest disciples a little further into the garden to pray. It is essential to have close friends during times of trial,...

Matthew, Mark, and Luke all record the story that is the subject of our text. Each has a slightly different point of view because each man was writing to a somewhat different audience. Matthew says the man worshiped. Mark tells us that Jesus was moved to compassion. Luke adds that the man was full of leprosy, which means he was covered from head to toe with a disease that made him an outcast to al...

When Kings speak, things happen. How much more when the King of Kings speaks? Our king spoke, and the world came into existence. We experience the power because the word of God is still among us. John tells us that first, there was the word, and the word was God. Paul said to preach the word because where the word of a king is, there is power. Out of all the languages, locations, men, and diversit...

Our text is our introduction to Sampson. The power of God comes on Sampson, who picks up a donkey's jawbone and proceeds to kill 1000 men. After this miraculous victory, the bible says Sampson needed water to quench his thirst. Even after a great deliverance, we must remain thirsty for more of what God has.
