SEEK YE FIRST THE KINGDOM OF GOD

CALLING ON GOD WHO IS THE JUDGE OF EVERYONE

THE MOST IMPORTANT VERSES IN THE BIBLE
God promised Abram (Abraham) that He would have more spiritual children (all believers after Abraham) than the stars. Genesis 15:5-6 are probably the most important verses in the Bible in that it shows that salvation is by faith for the first time. Here are the...
WORDS WRITTEN DOWN FOR US TO LIVE BY

HEARING AND OBEYING GOD’S WORD
Satan attacked Jesus at His most vulnerable time. The way it is written assumes that the devil knew that Jesus was the Son of God, it could have been written since you are the Son of God. The devil wanted Jesus to do something that would be sin and cause Him to...

THE ROYAL RIGHT TO THE THRONE

DEVELOPING AN APPETITE FOR THE WORD
1 Peter 2:2-3 Peter urges those who are Christians to desire the milk of the word which can either be Christ or the word of God itself. Either way we are to long for and develop an appetite for the things of God, especially for Christ and His word which teaches us...
THE WORD OF GOD
1 Peter 1:24 is a quotation from Isaiah 40:6-8 that expresses the passing of everything away except the Word of God. All eventually goes away and disappears but not His living and abiding word. It not only will not pass away but neither do those to whom it gives...
OUR HEART AND OUR MOTIVES
