Fellowship Restored
God has a good purpose for every change that occurs in our lives, but, too many of us are pining away because things are not the way they used to be. We’ve depended on PLACES, PEOPLE, PROCEDURES or POSITION to draw us closer to the Lord. I say, “‘Where is your God?” Is He in a church sanctuary, in an idol you look up to, in a ritual, in your service for Him? Do you love the GIFTS more than the GIVER?
Taking a stand - part 6
When our faith turns to sight, we need to be careful not to become overconfident and take credit for the outcome. Moses was not allowed to enter the Promised Land because he insinuated that both he and God would bring water from the rock. Hezekiah fell prey to pride after he became successful. He bragged of 'his' riches and showed them to the pagan kings - who eventually overtook his kingdom. How did Daniel handle the miracle he received from God?
Taking a stand - part 5
Teenaged Jewish boys were confronted with death when the wise men couldn’t reveal and interpret King Nebuchadnezzar’s dream. But Daniel didn’t PANIC or POUT, rather, he PLANNED his course of action, then held a PRAYER PARTY, where he and his friends PLEADED and PERSISTED for an answer from God. God revealed the dream to Daniel. What was his first reaction to this miracle?
Peter's Discourse
Taking a stand - part 4
The king will have him killed if Daniel not only tells him the interpretation of his dream, you have to also tell him what he dreamed. What did Daniel do? Barb Sandbek answers that important question in this edition of "Grace Notes".
Taking a stand - part 3
We’ve been studying the lives of four teenaged Jewish boys, Daniel, Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego, who were taken into captivity by the Babylonians. We’ve seen them removed from their family and its Godly influence, trained in pagan culture, and tempted with things that would make ANYONE want to compromise. So far, they’ve passed all the tests with flying colors. On our program today, Barbara Sandbek will tell us about an even bigger test they had to face. Will they give in?
Taking a stand – part 2
Have your ever wondered how different Daniel’s life might have been had he not been taken captive?
Taking a stand - part 1
Taking a stand for Jesus Christ has always resulted in persecution – and it’s getting worse. It's been reported that more Believers were killed in the 20th century than in all 19 centuries after the birth of Christ combined. Today on Grace Notes, Barbara Sandbek will begin the Biblical story of what four teenaged boys endured because of their stand for the Lord. We pray that this true story of faith and obedience will encourage you to do the same.
Think Right Thoughts - Conclusion
Barbara Sandbek will complete our study on ‘Thinking Right Thoughts’. Philippians 4 verse 8 has been our text for this series. Through studying each phrase we’ve discovered that we need to focus on things of the Lord - things that are true, noble, right, pure, lovely and admirable. TRUE things are God’s WORD. NOBLE things are God’s WAYS. RIGHT things are God’s WILL. PURE things are God’s WISDOM. LOVELY things are God’s WORKS. and ADMIRABLE things are God’s WONDERS. These and only these are excellent and praise-worthy things on which to think. Paul's exhortation to "think about such things" is followed by a second exhortation in his next verse, "put it into practice". So, as we conclude, let see how right thinking produces right actions.
What is lovely? God's wonders!
So far, in our study on ‘Thinking Right Thoughts’ we’ve found that according to Philippians 4 verse 8, God’s WORD, God’s WAYS, God’s WILL, God’s WISDOM and GOD’S WORKS are right things to think about. The next phrase in the verse says to think on things that are ADMIRABLE. What are they? Well…just look out your window. On this program, Barbara Sandbek will share about God’s WONDERS.
