A Struggle for Patience – Part 2
In Part 1, I was talking about patience and I said that 2,000 years ago, when Jesus came, the people of that time—the people of Israel—were very impatient.

The Delights of His Love
Read Romans 12:1 1-2 So here’s what I want you to do, God helping you: Take your everyday, ordinary life—your sleeping, eating, going-to-work, and walking-around life—and place it before God as an offering. Embracing what God does for you is the best thing you can do for him. (THE MESSAGE)

Two Men at Prayer
Jesus told a parable about a Pharisee and a tax collector—two men with very different perspectives on forgiveness, grace and their relationship with God: The Pharisee stood up and prayed about himself: ‘God, I thank You that I am not like other men ─ robbers, evildoers, adulterers ─ or even like this tax collector. I […]

This is our fourth morning, our last morning in the Song of Songs. This is a book about a couple in love in the Old Testament. It’s a very graphic book and quite an explicit book, but it’s describing a proper way to relate. Remember, we have been saying that it’s possible that King Solomon, […]
