Messianic Sermon on 1 Cor 5:6-8 and Luke 13:20-21
•
I enjoyed another Sermon from Congregation Beth Hallel in Roswell, Georgia. The Shabbat Jan 24-25 “The Secret Ingredient” could have also been entitled, A Little Leaven Leads To Heaven.

We Can Face Tomorrow

At a Christmas Dinner, Gary kept talking to me about John 14:14. Gary mentioned the Scripture at least ½ dozen times as we spoke. I finally heard the Lord and knew He wanted me to receive it on a deeper level. Gary also made sure my daughter Amanda was hearing…

The Father of Humility Never Leaves Us

The opposite of being humble is to be arrogant. Humility comes from knowing God and the truth about God. Seeking God and knowing Him better brings humility because God himself is humble.

God keeps reminding me that He is not slow. The Lord is not slow in answering our prayers or punishing those who have hurt His people. He is just patient and has a purpose and a plan. I have read many Scriptures like 2 Peter 3:9 that tell me that…

Everyone deals with some form of depression at times in their lives. It can come from an illness that requires medical treatment. Sometimes it might stick around longer than it should and depression is one of our body’s warning signals that we need to see our doctors. Depression can be…

We have a Limited Perspective
•
Driving home from the grocery store, I witnessed a potential accident. From my perspective, an accident was barely avoided. Each person could not see the other person’s dangerous actions until the last moment. Both drivers made a last-second decision and came within a fraction of a second colliding with each…

The Proverbs 31 Women in Our Lives

I believe my Aunt Carrie will be a part of the Heavenly Choir or Orchestra for God when she eventually goes to Heaven to claim her reward. I believe she has a reserved seat of her choice. I remember how she always used her musical gifts and talents to serve…
