Presumption
Presumption 1 Kings 20:10-11 Both kings in this passage are guilty of presumption. Benhadad believes due to his size and power that he will prevail. Ahab (one of the worst kings of Israel) believes that he will prevail. In this lesson we will look at what God thinks about presumption. [Ps.19:13] Presumptuous sins [2 Pet.2:10] […]

Is God Real to You? 2 Tim. 1:5 Unfeigned Faith, speaks of faith that is real, not counterfeit or hypocritical. To have a real faith, God must be real to you, all the time and in every place. This real relationship with God is the cornerstone of everything in your life. Everyone around you, […]
Instruction and Reproof
Instruction and Reproof Matt. 17:14-21 In this passage we have already studied “faith” and “unbelief” in previous lessons. Today we will look at one more thing that the Lord wants us to do.

Because of Your Unbelief
Because of your unbelief Matt.17:14-20 In the previous lesson we learned what faith is. The Bible defines it as “the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen” [Heb.11:1].

What is Faith?
What is Faith? Heb.11:1 [Rom.14:23] “For whatsoever is not of faith is sin”[Heb.11:6] “without Faith it is impossible to please God” Without faith, we cannot please God, and anything in our lives that is not of faith, is sin.

Are You Doing Things To Your Own Hurt?
To Your Own Hurt 2 Timothy 2:25 “In meekness instructing those that oppose themselves; if God peradventure will give them repentance to the acknowledging of the truth;” There are folks that “oppose themselves”.

Watchmen, Keep not Silence, Is 62:6
Watchmen, Keep Not Silence Isa.62:6 The typical “watchman on the wall” intimidation: [Eze.33:7-8] You are a watchman, if you fail to warn the lost, their blood is on your hands!

Waiting on God
Waiting on God Jer.14:22 Waiting on God is probably the hardest thing for a Christian to do. We live in a Now, now, now world. Everything is instant, everything must be fast. Computers, phones, etc. are fast today and need to be faster. When we need direction or help from God, we want it NOW, […]
