Revelation 21:4 "And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away."

Why does life still feel confusing and unsatisfying even when we try to live wisely? In this introduction to Ecclesiastes, Dave Jenkins begins a journey through one of the Bible's most honest and searching books. Ecclesiastes confronts the temporary nature of life, the limits of success and pleasure, and humanity's search for lasting meaning. The Preacher describes life "under the sun" as vanity, a vapor that cannot be grasped or held. Wealth, achievement, pleasure, work, and human wisdom cannot ultimately satisfy the heart. Ecclesiastes forces us to face the reality of life in a fallen world and directs us toward the only One who can give lasting meaning.

The Morning Devotional Season 11 | Edition 70 August 12, 2026 Psalm 110 This devotional examines Psalm 110 as a pivotal Messianic prophecy that reveals the dual nature and offices of Jesus Christ. The text highlights how David refers to the Messiah as both his descendant and his Lord, affirming Christ's divinity and authority. The sermon details Christ's role as King who rules with power and subdues enemies, while simultaneously serving as an eternal High Priest in the order of Melchizedek. By connecting this Old Testament passage to the New Testament, the message explains how Jesus' unique priesthood provides believers with direct access to God for mercy and help. Ultimately, the exposition offers comfort by assuring listeners that Christ actively defends His people and mediates on their behalf.

The Bible uses the word "angel" in more than one sense and in our text the King James Bible capitalizes "Angel" because it is a reference to the pre-incarnate Jesus who is God the Son, second person of the Triune Godhead. Also Reference: Isaiah 9:6, Micah 5:2, Isaiah 7:14, Matthew 1:23, John 1:1-3, Colossians 1:16, Genesis 16:7 & 13, Colossians 1:15, John 14:3 & 6 https://bbfohio.com

The devotion critiques will-worship as a futile religious practice that prioritizes human traditions and outward rituals over genuine faith in Christ. It contrasts superficial self-denial with true humility, arguing that God desires sincere obedience rather than mere ceremonial observance. The text warns against the slippery slope of legalism, which binds consciences without offering spiritual freedom or righteousness. Emphasizing that belief in the Son is essential for pleasing God, the message highlights that external acts cannot substitute for internal trust in salvation. Ultimately, all actions must stem from a heart aligned with God's commands rather than human inventions.

Daily #Devotional for Wednesday 12th August 2026 "Stockman Pocket Knife" by Rev. Roger Higginson #lisburnfpc #lisburnfpc

A strange command, two competing claims, and a sword that reveals far more than anyone expected. Tonight we revisit one of Solomon's most memorable judgments and consider what it may expose about us.

In "The Church at Ephesus," Part 5 of the Revelation Unraveled series, Pastor Byron Chesney examines Revelation 2:1–7 and Christ's message to a church that was hardworking, doctrinally sound, patient, and faithful, yet had left its first love. The Ephesian church reminds us that it is possible to believe right, serve faithfully, and stand against error while allowing our love for Christ to grow cold. Jesus calls His church to remember, repent, and return to the first works. This message challenges every believer to ask an important question: Are we simply going through the motions of Christianity, or do we still love Christ with the devotion we once had?
