Everyone needs the Lord. And no one is beyond saving. From an evil dictator to your annoying next-door neighbor . . . are you praying for your enemies?
There is something incredibly moving about the faithful testimony of someone who is in the process of being shipwrecked. When faith is shaken and rocked, that's when it is most definitely proven.
The deception of being religious is that it can cause you to believe you are right with God when you really aren't. It can give you the appearance of godliness without giving you a genuine relationship with God.
The proverb of today's culture is, Never put off until tomorrow what you can do the day after! But postponing discipleship is not a good idea. Seek God today when He can be found. Tomorrow might be too late.
Even the Apostle Paul blew his testimony in front of a crowd. It can happen to any of us. But the good news is that even when we are unfaithful, God remains faithful!
How do you reach unbelieving family friends when they each have different perspectives and responses? First, discern where they are coming from before you proceed to share with them where they need to go.
Proverbs 11:14 tells us that 'in the multitude of counselors there is safety,' and as a general rule this is indeed true. But what happens when all the counselors around you are wrong; even your godly friends?
Imagine what must it have been like when the Apostle Paul left the early Christians for the last time. Their ministry had been established by his constant prayers, challenges, and visits. But those who live lives of abandon for God always leave so much behind.
How can we distinguish between a charismatic Christian leader and a false prophet? That's an important question . . . because if we don't know what a sheep looks like, we'll never be able to spot the wolves.
Of all the amazing biographies Stephen brings us in his "Legacies of Light" series, perhaps none will pull on your heartstrings like this testimony of faith. It's a story of a woman's endurance, a man's despair, and a Savior's incredible mercy. Meet David and Svea Flood.
David and Svea Flood were 20th century Protestant Christian missionaries who are known for their work in India. David was born in Sweden in 1892 and Svea was born in Sweden in 1897. They both grew up in devout Christian households and felt called to serve as missionaries from a young age.
David and Svea were married in 1920 and together they served as missionaries in India for over 50 years. They faced numerous challenges and setbacks during their time in India, but remained dedicated to their work and deeply loved by those they served. They established a mission called The Christian Mission, which focused on sharing the Gospel with people in India and providing education and medical care to those in need.
In addition to their missionary work, David and Svea were also active evangelists and spent much of their time preaching and teaching about the Christian faith. They were known for their powerful and inspiring message and their ability to touch the hearts of those they served.
Throughout their lives, David and Svea Flood remained deeply committed to their faith and their calling to serve others. They are remembered as courageous and selfless missionaries who dedicated their lives to spreading the Gospel and serving others. Their legacy lives on through the many lives they touched and the ongoing work of missionaries in India and around the world.
Every year, false prophets are exposed for attempting to predict the future and failing. That's why it's so vital for the believer to depend on the Bible to understand not just truths for our lives right now, but truths for the future as well. As Jesus continues His Olivet discourse, He delivers some warnings to the people of Israel in the form of prophecies, and 40 years later, all of His prophecies came true. That gives us all the more reason to trust His prophecies that haven't happened yet, as Stephen Davey explains in this sermon.
Isn't it an amazing thought that God can't lose you? No matter where you are in the world – whether lost in a crowd of tourists or alone on some secluded mountain – God is already there. Stephen takes us further in his study of Psalm 139 to show us why that is cause for rejoicing.
The thought that God knows everything about us is often a disconcerting thought. But it is a thought we should rejoice in every day. David's unforgettable lyrics in Psalm 139 provide the reason for our rejoicing.
As Jesus enters Jerusalem for the final time, He understands the significance of this moment in the context of biblical prophecy. He knows that the prophet Daniel had been pointing to that very day as the moment when the Messiah would arrive. Yet the Jewish religious leaders offered Jesus no fanfare; it seemed like no one was looking for the Messiah at that moment. And so, Jesus wept. And the question for us today is, Will Jesus celebrate or weep over our eternal fate?
