“Gratitude”
Being grateful doesn’t come naturally to us. Most of us are discontented people. We always want more and we wish things to be different. The Apostle Paul gives us some good news in 2 Corinthians 12:9 (CEV). He portrays God saying “My kindness is all you need. My power is strongest when you are weak.” […]
“From Wilderness to Renewal”
Excerpts from Aaron Abramson, ED & CEO, Jews for Jesus – March Newsletter “To everything, there is a season, a time for every purpose under heaven …. He has made everything beautiful in its time.” Ecclesiastes 3:1, 11 I experienced the stark beauty of this Scripture verse as a young Israeli soldier stationed in the […]
“Assurance”
We all need assurance that one is a child of God forever. In 1 John 5:13, we read, “These things I have written to you who believe in the name of the Son of God, that you may know that you have eternal life.” John’s first epistle was written to Christians to assure them that […]
“What it Means to Glorify God”

Let’s continue to ask the Holy Spirit to help us understand what word of promise from God’s […]
“Longsuffering, Patience, Forbearance”
1) THE LONGSUFFERING OF GOD Word-Meaning: The Old Testament uses an expression that means “slow to anger.” Ps. 86:15 “But You, O Lord, are a God merciful and gracious, Slow to anger and abundant in lovingkindness and truth.” The New Testament expresses the idea by a word that shows an aspect of the goodness and love of God […]
“A Shepherd’s Heart”
When Jesus chose a metaphor to illustrate His concern and love for people, He identified Himself as the Good Shepherd. John 10:11, 14. Paul tried very hard to pattern his ministry after that of his Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. He was not only an evangelist and theologian, but also a devoted shepherd and pastor. […]
