Today we look at the story of two of the Lord's faithful servants, who exemplify what it looks like to wait on the Lord.

Its amazing to see the contrast in some people's response to Jesus.  Sometimes he is met with acceptance and transformation, and other times refusal and rejection.

The journey to Bethlehem wasn't an easy one. It was filled with faith filled steps as Joseph walked in obedience to the instruction of the angel of the Lord.

There are a lot of things the can cause difficulty and pressure in our world.  But it is imperative that we as Christians learn to rely on God to direct and provide within our circumstances. Our passage for today is a story between two moms, who have been chosen by God, and their response to God's purposes and His faithfulness in their lives.

The reality for mankind is that we are all under a common curse of sin. It pervades our every fiber and thought, and skews our intentions to the very deception of our own hearts. The sad truth of the curse of sin is death. Paul writes, "Therefore, just as sin entered the world through one man, and death through sin, and in this way death came to all people, because all sinned."

Perhaps the most crucial foundation in our understanding of God is found in His character to keep-His-promises. The difficulty for a church that is struggling with persecution is identifying the correct response to trusting God's promises. Sometimes its easy, but most of the time it is hard.

This past week marked the 500th anniversary to the Protestant Reformation.  Even though we have good reasons to adhere to this particular expression of Christianity, it needs to be said at the outset that even though we are not Roman Catholic, we cannot claim to be perfect in all we do.

One of the most abused components of Christianity today is the way in which people have come to misunderstand Christian “faith.” As we stand the threshold of the 500th Anniversary of the Reformation, we examine today the evangelical confession of faith as the scriptures indicated it, as opposed to how many churches today have twisted it.

We have been shaped by the world we live in, whether we are aware of it or not.  One way that many Christians have been conformed is in their expectations and expressions on the subject of worship.

Prayer has had many forms throughout the years of the Christian church, and even today our culture has many expressions for calling out to the Lord. The problem is many of us have subconsciously inherited one of these forms without recognizing the potentials for its deficiencies when it comes to expressing and understanding prayer.
