Last week’s lesson in the elements series was on stewardship. Hand in hand with stewardship is faithfulness. The bible calls us to be faithful stewards of what God has entrusted us with. Paul encourages us not to grow weary in doing well. It is clear that we are to remain faithful in our service to the Lord.

When we grasp the truth contained in the psalm that is our text today, we find liberation. The truth in this psalm strikes fear in the devil. When we understand what God has given us, it changes our entire life. In these short two verses of scripture, we see two ways that God shows his most remarkable work. First the vastness and grandness of all the heavens, and then the frailty and weakness of h...

The Greek word for stewardship refers to the manager of a household. A steward, in biblical terms, is entrusted with the managing of something that belongs to someone else. As stewards, we act as the manager of resources that belong to someone else. We do not own it. That is the key to understanding our lives. Everything we have, our life, our talents, our blessings, all come on loan from God. We...

To be prepared means to be ready to do something. We have become emergency responders rather than being prepared. We wait until the water has risen before we become concerned enough to act. When the warnings go out, we rush to the grocery store to get whatever we can and call ourselves prepared. The world looks at people who stock up on supplies as alarmists. Being prepared does not mean that we n...

Our text is Moses’ farewell address. It is a history lesson in the way that God deals with His people. This address was to a people who needed a refresher on the workings of God. It illustrates God’s goodness toward man. It reveals three crucial things about God: HIs passion toward us. His power and His purpose. This text shows God’s care for us. Everything that God does for us is to bless us. Not...

The definition of relationship is the state of being connected. Relationships can be healthy or unhealthy.

Long explores what it means to have a Healthy Relationship with God and with others.

There are times when our faith and drive are insufficient. In these times, God accomplishes His will by His own determination. Our text says the zeal of the Lord of hosts will perform this. Bro. Morris recalls times where his faith was lacking, but the zeal of the Lord showed through to work in the situation.

The story from our text is an illustration of how God can work something out in life. When God invites us to His table, it changes all the things that have happened up to that point. The story of Mephibosheth helps us understand the implications of what can happen when we respond to God. When Mephibosheth was just a child, life began to unravel. His father Jonathan, was the son of Saul. David asce...

We do not have to look at social media for very long to realize that our world is in desperate need of Gracious Communication. The way that we communicate with each other has a strong influence on our relationships. If we are not kind in our communications, it is likely that the relationship is not good. Communication is important to God. In the opening chapters of Genesis, we see God speaking. Th...

Our text speaks of the fruit of the spirit. The fruit is the result of being filled with the Holy Ghost. Often we misread our text from Galatians as fruits of the spirit. We treat love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, meekness, and temperance as individual fruits, but the word in verse 22 is singular, not plural. Dr. Hughes looks at the benefits of having and showing these...

Peter's failure is one of the most sobering stories in the new testament. Despite his many strengths, he had weaknesses that lurked just below the surface. His impetuousness lent itself to trouble. Most often, his quick mouth got him into trouble. In this particular story, Peter is warming himself by the fire. Someone recognizes him as a follower of Jesus and calls him out. He denies it and then d...

Emotions are a powerful force in our lives. Often strong emotions can overwhelm us and lead us to do and say things that we should not do or say. People who are ruled by their emotions can do significant damage to people and relationships around them. Emotions are not bad, but bad things can happen when we fail to control them. God is our refuge. We can turn to God amid our emotions for help. God...

The words spoken to the two women who came to the tomb on that morning are the most significant ever spoken. He is not here: for He is risen. More than a great story, He is risen is the reality we enjoy today. Because the tomb is empty, we know that He lives!
