An in-depth study of 1 Timothy 5.

In the 17th Century, English and Scottish theologians wrote what is referred to as the “Westminster Shorter Catechism”. In it, we read this statement: “The chief end of man is to glorify God and to enjoy Him forever.” What does it mean to “glorify God” and how can we effectively do it? Too often we live for our own glory—our accomplishments, our achievements, our desire for notoriety, etc. But as Christians, God is to be glorified in ALL that we do. Follow along in today’s study with Pastor Gary from Isaiah 39-40.

An in-depth study of 1 Timothy 4.

How do we respond when things don’t go our way? The Bible says that in his time of trouble, King Ahaz grew even more unfaithful to the Lord. Studying from the book of Isaiah and the life of Paul, we can learn how to better handle pain and suffering so that we can remain faithful and not lose heart.

Prayer is the most under-utilized gift God has given us to connect and commune with Him! We are often too busy to pray. But we are only doing ourselves a disservice! In Isaiah 38, King Hezekiah gets word from God that his life is about to come to an end. So he prays a simple prayer and, in response, God adds 15 years to his life! What are the benefits available to us through prayer? Why is it important to pray? Join Pastor Gary for a study today on this topic from Isaiah 38.

An in-depth study of 1 Timothy 3.

Life is filled with its share of trials and tribulations. We often describe these times like a “desert experience.” Isaiah writes about this theme in Chapter 35 and how God will once again cause the desert to bloom and cause the redeemed of the Lord to be crowned with joy. In its future interpretation, Isaiah is speaking of the Millennial Kingdom when Christ will rule and reign on Earth for 1000 years. But in its near interpretation, he writes about God’s sustaining grace through the trials of everyday life. In 1925 a wonderful Daily Devotional was written by Lettie B. Cowman entitled, Streams in the Desert. It was inspired by Isaiah 35:6 and it is still published today after more than 90 years! Born out of her own personal anguish, this Devotional speaks of how Christ refreshed her like a Stream in the Desert. Join Pastor Gary for today’s study from Isaiah 35 entitled, “Out of the Desert.”
