I'm Hicksited

We begin to look at marriage versus adultery versus fornication.  We especially look at 1 Corinthians 6 where, after rebuking the church at Corinth for suing one another in the public courts, Paul writes about how some of them used to be sexually immoral, adulterers, homosexuals, sodomites, etc., but now they were washed, sanctified and justified in the name of Jesus and by the Spirit of God. To s...

In this series, we look at the three environments for sexual relationships (marriage, fornication, adultery) and why God wanted that special bond to occur within marriage but not outside of it.  Because Satan uses this against God to paint Him in a bad light, we first review the Lord's deep love for us as a foundation for everything God has to tell us about sex. We then look at Adam, Eve and...

We finish looking at various sources of suffering not related to sin - Satanic oppression, so that God's work can be displayed in us, how suffering can come with God guiding the steps and timing of our lives, how sometimes we choose suffering for God and finally how doing what right can bring us suffering.

We continue looking at various sources of suffering as we grapple with the question of God's love for us.  This time we turn our attention to our spiritual need for suffering, how it can help both us and others.  Through the story of Job we will see how our tribulations may be a test of our faith or a test of the faith of someone close to us.   To see David Hicks on YouTube, click here . 

One major source of suffering is our disobedience to God.  We can bring trouble on our own head or we can bring hurt into the people around us simply by not doing what God directs.  Most of us can recognize and accept it when our pain is our own sin.  What is hard to accept is, if God loves us, why is He allowing us to get hurt by other people's sins?  Thankfully Jesus gave us a parable to he...

We can talk about all the evidence for God's love, but all of that rings hollow in the face of tremendous pain and hardship.  Here we look at God's openness about our tribulations and the spiritual pain relievers that He provides for it in the form of peace, joy and hope.  We also look at how both what God asks us to do and what He asks us to leave behind alleviates suffering.   To see D...

We tackle one of the most critical questions to ask in life by looking at some of the Biblical evidence demonstrating the love and care that God has for us.  From being his children, to being loved when we don't love Him, to the warnings of the prophets, to the sacrifice of Jesus Son of God and finally to the eternal familial relationship that God wants with us, we will see many demonstration...

I talk with Jeff Brown, preacher for the Woodmont Hills Church in Nashville, about "Project 245" which had at its heart Acts 2:45 - "and [believers] sold their possessions and goods, and divided them among all, as anyone had need." (NKJV)  This project was formed during the early days of the pandemic.  People would donate their stimulus checks and other funds to the project, an...

Many amazing things happen in baptism almost all of which centers around God's Son, Jesus Christ.  From being buried with Jesus to being raised with Him and even clothed with Him, God works through the whole process to give us a new life.   To see David Hicks on YouTube, click here . 

We begin looking at major Scriptures concerning the baptism commanded by Christ.   From "He who believes and is baptized shall be saved" to "Arise, be baptized, and wash away your sins", we will see a connection between baptism and our salvation.   To see David Hicks on YouTube, click here . 

If you want to get to know God, there is a very consistent theme in the Bible about how to do that - seek Him with all your heart.  How do you seek Him? It boils down to 3 things:  Humble yourself,  pray often, and learn about Him.  That's pretty much it.  If you want to add a 4th item, then put what you learn about God into practice.  Do this, and YOU WILL FIND HIM!
