To all the moms in our listening audience, Happy Mother’s Day! And to all the women who
guide us and help to nurture our lives, we celebrate you as well.
When you reach out to get help, you want to get a response, but all too often you’re left with unresolved issues. Today’s passage reminds us that when we reach out to God, He responds.
All of us have goals we want to reach and things we want to achieve. There is a probing question, the answer to which has serious implications: What Are We Chasing?
We’re in Matthew chapter 28 today, and we’re celebrating the Resurrection of Christ from the grave. Our message today echoes the message of the angels to the women gathered at the tomb: He is not here- He is risen!
In today’s message Dr. Hart we take an in depth look into the Triumphal Entry of Jesus into the city of Jerusalem. It’s a familiar story, but one with many layers of Biblical truth to uncover.
The Holy of Holies. One man. Once a year. Strick guidelines that if not followed, could end in death. Standing before God was serious then, and it’s serious now.
Estimates are that the average adult makes about 35,000 decisions every day, ranging from minor choices like what to wear or eat to more significant ones, averaging about one decision every two seconds. This vast number includes everything from crossing the street to choosing how to spend one’s time. Some of our choices may seem to have little impact on our daily lives or our future, but in reality, one bad choice can be like a falling domino that effects not only our lives but the lives of others well into the future.
King Solomon, was one of the wisest persons who ever lived. He built the First Temple in Jerusalem. He amassed great wealth, a powerful military, and lived in a magnificent royal palace, reigning over a unified Israel at its peak. But in the Book of Ecclesiastes, he laments about the vanity and emptiness of life. We all have plans, desires and things we want to accomplish in our lives, and today’s teaching with Dr. Tony Hart reminds us that if our plans and goals don’t line up with God’s, they are destined to be cut down.
As Dr. Tony Hart continues his teaching in the Book of Daniel, we are confronted today with some startling and sometimes frightening imagery. As Christians we maintain hope during turbulent times because our faith is rooted in God’s Word, which transcends our circumstances. Central to us is the conviction that God is sovereign and loving, offering strength, guidance and comfort even in times of uncertainty. We draw our strength from scriptural promises of peace, redemption, and a purposeful future, believing that adversity can lead to growth and deeper trust in God.
We can all quote the line from the prayer that Jesus taught His disciples that says, “Lead us not into temptation.” Today’s teaching shows us that when we do our part in staying away from evil blessings will follow.
In the year 1624 author John Donne’s book “Devotions upon Emergent Occasions” reflected on sickness, pain, and the human condition. The book contains a very famous line: “No Man Is An Island.” It emphasized a connectivity that each of us needs in our lives. Unfortunately, not everyone is available, able or willing to be there when we need them. Thankfully we serve a God that is always there- especially when we need Him most.
