HOW DO YOU DEAL WITH THE PROBLEMS OF LIFE AND WHERE DO YOU GO TO GET HELP?
In Luke 4:4 Jesus said, It is written, That man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word of God. This is when Jesus is being tempted in the wilderness. If Jesus is quoting this as He is being tempted, how much more do you think we need to read, know and...
DOES OUR LIFE PLEASE GOD?
Jesus at His baptism was shown to be the Son of God by the Holy Spirit descending in bodily form LIKE a dove. This is God saying this Man is not like any man, He is not just a good man, a prophet, or a good teacher, He is the GOD MAN, The Savior of the World. This...

Joseph and Mary left Jerusalem after going to the feast of Passover and do not realize Jesus is not there until the next day. They go back and find Jesus teaching in the temple. They are amazed at what He is doing and anxious over not knowing where He has been....
THE ANNOUNCEMENT OF A BIRTH THAT BRINGS JOY
Here we see in the book of Luke for the third time the appearance of an angel, a response of fear, the command not to fear, and the announcement of a birth that brings joy. This time it is not to a family, but to the lowly shepherds who were considered the least of...
MAKING GODLY DECISIONS

WHERE DO YOU SEEK WISDOM?
These commands to put the word on their hand and forehead were not literal commands but commands to remind them of how important God’s word is to us. God told the Israelites and therefore us too to always keep the word of God in the forefront of all that we do. We...
CAN PEOPLE TELL YOU ARE A CHRISTIAN?

WHY DO YOU THINK GOD GAVE US THE 10 COMMANDMENTS?
In Deuteronomy 5 we see the 10 commandments restated to the new generation after Israel has wandered in the wilderness for 40 years and just before they crossed into Canaan. Why do YOU think God gave us the 10 commandments? Some think it because God is some kind...
ADDING OR TAKING AWAY FROM HIS WORD
Five times in the Bible God tells us not to add to His word or take anything away from it. We talked about this earlier in the week how God’s word came directly from Him using human authors to write it. God wrote the Bible so that we would know how to live so as...
HE SHALL DIRECT OUR PATHS
The Bible tells us that if we follow God’s word and In all our ways acknowledge Him, that He shall direct our paths (Proverbs 3:6). When you follow the Lord He puts you in the places He wants you to be and when He wants you there. There is no safer place to be than...
