Finding the Word of God 2 Kings 22:8 And Hilkiah the high priest said unto Shaphan the scribe, I have found the book of the law in the house of the LORD. And Hilkiah gave the book to Shaphan, and he read it. What I find amazing is how they lost the Word of God, but I would say that it might be easier than one would think. I believe that for our country, the Word of God is lost to them. Yet, you can find a copy of God's Word at Walmart. It's not lost because it's not available

1 Thes. 4:16- “For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first:” *the Trump’s about to Blow! -we know because of the… Apostate Times! Apathetic Times! Arrogant Times! Artificial Times! the Appeasing Times! -Pastor Doug Foster

Slow to Speak James 1:19 Wherefore, my beloved brethren, let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to wrath: Proverbs 17:28 Even a fool, when he holdeth his peace, is counted wise: and he that shutteth his lips is esteemed a man of understanding. We live in a day when everyone feels the need to give an opinion or have the last word. Yet, our text reminds us of this in James 1:19. Before words leave our mouths, they should first pass through a heart submitted to the

Romans 1:16 For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek. The promise of redemption is based in the finished work of Jesus Christ and the power of God. It is the ultimate good news that the condemned can be redeemed. Can there be a greater truth? Can there be a greater possibility? I think not. It has been made available to everyone that will believe. Wha

1 John 4:18: "There is no fear in love; but perfect love casteth out fear: because fear hath torment. He that feareth is not made perfect in love." Oftentimes we hear the old adage that love conquers hate, but here we find a biblical truth far more powerful. Perfect love casts out fear; and, if we fear we are not made perfect in love. This verse may seem complex upon first reading, giving birth to questions rather than answers. However, this verse becomes crystal clear when t

12). This is my commandment, That ye love one another, as I have loved you. 13). Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends. 14). Ye are my friends, if ye do whatsoever I command you. JOHN 15:12-15 In all of God’s creation, just one thing did not meet with His approval. He beheld Adam and said, ...“It is not good that the man should; I will make an help meet for him.” (Genesis 2:18). The Creato

Touched by Jesus Mark 3:9-12 And he spake to his disciples, that a small ship should wait on him because of the multitude, lest they should throng him. [10] For he had healed many; insomuch that they pressed upon him for to touch him, as many as had plagues. [11] And unclean spirits, when they saw him, fell down before him, and cried, saying, Thou art the Son of God. [12] And he straitly charged them that they should not make him known. There was a multitude of people coming

Luke 4:36- “And they were all amazed, and spake among themselves, saying, What a word is this! for with authority and power he commandeth the unclean spirits, and they come out.” *What a WORD is this! It… brings Conviction of sin! Converts the soul! Comforts a troubled mind! Conforms one into the image of Christ! Confounds the wise! Calms all fears! Conquers the devil! Changes not! -Pastor Doug Foster

Hebrews 9:22 - "And almost all things are by the law purged with blood; and without shedding of blood is no remission." Notice Three Truths about the Blood- I. The Pictures of the Blood- A.

Placing Trust Jeremiah 17:5-7 Thus saith the LORD; Cursed be the man that trusteth in man, and maketh flesh his arm, and whose heart departeth from the LORD. [6] For he shall be like the heath in the desert, and shall not see when good cometh; but shall inhabit the parched places in the wilderness, in a salt land and not inhabited. [7] Blessed is the man that trusteth in the LORD, and whose hope the LORD is. You hear the word hero used often today. Many people speak of a pare

Micah 6:8 He hath shewed thee, O man, what is good; and what doth the LORD require of thee, but to do justly, and to love mercy, and to walk humbly with thy God? This verse gives us some requirements that God has for us. I would like to zero in on the last one: “to walk humbly with thy God”. In recent days, I have heard the term “celebrity preacher” bounced around frequently and it strikes me as an odd characterization of what a preacher should be (or anyone else t

John 8:2 - “And early in the morning he came again into the temple, and all the people came unto him; and he sat down, and taught them.” In this verse we again find a multitude gathering around Jesus. The verse says all the people came to Jesus in the temple, so I imagine that the entire surrounding area was drawn to the temple on this morning. Notice, Christ had already gone into this temple previously and by His return everyone had been made aware of Christ. The people in t

4). But God, who is rich in mercy, for his great love wherewith he loved us, 5). Even when we were dead in sins, hath quickened us together with Christ, (by grace ye are saved:) 6). And hath raised us up together, and made us sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus: 7). That in the ages to come he might shew the exceeding riches of his grace in his kindness toward us through Christ Jesus. 8). For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves:

Yoked With Jesus Matthew 11:28-30 Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. [29] Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls. [30] For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light. Jesus gives the invitation to all that are heavy-laden to come to him and find rest. The yoke of Jesus is educational. He wants you to learn more about him. His yoke is a shared yoke. You will not

1 John 1:7- “But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth us from all sin.” *the precious blood of Jesus… was Ecclesiastically manifested was Effectually administered was Earnestly given Eradicates all of man’s depravities Emancipates from every detractor is Eternal in it’s duration is Endearing to all of it’s recipients! -Pastor Doug Foster

A Present Help Psalm 46:1 God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble. Life has a way of bringing unexpected burdens. Some days are filled with joy, while others seem weighed down with disappointments, fears, and struggles. Yet, our text reminds us that God is not a distant observer of our trials. He is “a very present help in trouble.” He is with us today, in this moment, ready to strengthen and sustain us. Notice that it does not promise a life free from

John 3:16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. John 1:12 But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name: John 3:16 tells us that God gave to mankind a gift and that gift is the Savior, Jesus Christ. As wonderful as that truth is, it will mean nothing to you if the gift is not received. Salvat

Psalms 74:8 “They said in their hearts, Let us destroy them together: they have burned up all the synagogues of God in the land.” It has always been the desire of Satan to lay waste to the Places where God meets with His people. If the Devil cannot destroy the House of God he entices those that attend into defiling themselves or the membership so that God cannot meet with them as He wishes to. We can look to Akin and how his forbidden treasures caused all the Israelites to su

22). It is of the LORD'S mercies that we are not consumed; because his compassions fail not. 23). They are new every morning: great is thy faithfulness. LAMENTATIONS 3:22-23 (KJV) The Lord reveals some things to us and leaves others shrouded in mystery. So we may not know why specific disasters occur, but there are biblical truths that assure us the Lord can be trusted even in times of great suffering. Because of Scripture, we can be certain that ...
