1 Cor 10 “Do’s and Don’ts” Can you hear your parents saying those words to you as you grew up? Paul considers himself the parent to the Corinthians, and as such, he reminds them of those who went before them and they did not obey the Lord thus incurring consequences. That is the same for […]
Psalm 89 The Calling of David and You God called the nation of Israel out of Egypt,not because they were more numerous or more wise or more strong.

Romans 8 NO Condemnation Satan is our adversary and as it says, his one motivation is to find or seeks to kill and destroy. He uses many means to keep us from being at peace and his tool is to remind us and to rehearse in our minds our past sins. Yet, as Paul writes, […]

Matt 11 Mercy not Sacrifice Over and over, Jesus is gracious, but when the Pharisees continue to berate him, He speaks out and acts out for He is gracious. Why did Matthew paint such a contrast picture for his Jewish audience but to show them their heart. God sent His Son to save them but […]
Matthew 10 Do Not Worry! One of the greatest challenges in our lives is that we tend to worry. We worry about many things and this is a tool of the enemy that comes to seek, kill and destroy. Worry is one of those nagging sins that we carry like a trophy and it disturbs […]
Matthew 8 Miracles authenticate Jesus continues to reveal His power that authenticate who He is. Listen to what the leper asked: “Lord, if You are willing, You can make me clean.” And Jesus answered: I am willing. Jesus says the same to us when we seek healing from sin. He is willing to save us […]
