1 Chronicles 4:9-10 (KJV) And Jabez was more honourable than his brethren: and his mother called his name Jabez, saying, Because I bare him with sorrow. 10 And Jabez called on the God of Israel, saying, Oh that thou wouldest bless me indeed, and enlarge my coast, and that thine hand might be with me, and that thou wouldest keep me from evil, that it may not grieve me! And God granted him that which he requested.

It is important to know the times. Jesus gave us some information on future events.

This sermon examines the sixth trumpet judgment in Revelation, focusing on the release of four bound angels from the Euphrates River to execute divine wrath. The exposition highlights God's sovereign control over historical events and the specific timing of these judgments, contrasting the mercy of the golden altar with the inevitable consequence of rejecting grace. The text describes a massive, fiery army that slays a third of humanity, symbolizing the devastating nature of end-times conflict. Despite this catastrophic loss of life, the remaining population refuses to repent of idolatry, murder, sorcery, fornication, and theft. The message serves as a convicting warning that humanity's persistent rebellion against God leads to severe judgment, urging listeners to secure their salvation through faith in Jesus Christ before it is too late.

What does your giving say about your love for God? In 2 Corinthians 8, Paul points the Corinthian church to the churches of Macedonia and shows us that biblical giving is not about how much you have, but about the grace, willingness, faith, and love behind what you give.

The sermon examines the high priestly prayer of Jesus in John 17, focusing specifically on the petitions for unity and glory among believers. It argues that Jesus prays for the church to be one in the same manner that the Father and Son are one, emphasizing a shared purpose and identity rather than the loss of individual personality. The message highlights that this divine unity serves as a witness to the world, demonstrating that the Father sent the Son. Furthermore, the text explores the concept of glory, defining it as the fulfillment of God's will and the reflection of Christ's life through the church. The tone is instructional and meditative, encouraging the congregation to study the context of these verses to deepen their understanding of their relationship with God and one another.

This Bible Study examines the selection of Matthias to replace Judas Iscariot in the apostolic group, arguing that this act was a human initiative rather than a direct divine command. The speaker contrasts this with the explicit biblical teaching that Jesus personally chose the original twelve and later called Paul directly on the Damascus Road. By citing Paul's own letters, the text asserts that Paul, not Matthias, holds the true position of the twelfth apostle by divine right. The discussion highlights the theological distinction between human choice and God's sovereign appointment, suggesting that the early church's casting of lots was a premature action that God ultimately superseded with His own perfect plan.
