Naomi was alone because there was death in her family. The reality of death makes many people feel alone. Everyone can think of close friends or loved ones and relatives that have passed away. In Naomi’s situation, she lost the people that were closest to her. She was hit with the reality that the people she spent the majority of her time with were now no longer here. Had God abandoned her? Does God care when we feel alone because we lose people we love?
Whether old or new covenant, Jesus paid the debt owed to the law so that guilty sinners can stand righteous in the sight of God? But what is imputed righteousness? How did Jesus pay the ransom? If salvation is by grace through faith, can a person continue sinning if they are under grace?
This video is from the Class D, 2007-2010, Inspirited Network broadcasts on stickam with Joseph Williams and John Spellman covering topics related to Salvation and Christian Living. Videos are in standard definition since the broadcasts were done before the studio was built.
What is the difference between revival and reformation? Which comes first? Is reformation really necessary at all? Does Jesus do all the work or is there an element of human participation in the process of reform? Does God really want to see change in our actions? How do we cooperate with God? This study will explore the theme of reformation and examine Jesus' disciples before and after reform. What if these men were allowed to stay the same and never went through reform? What kind of leaders would they be? How does reform or lack of reform influence the advancement of God's Kingdom?
The Bible teaches about a day lost in history. A day God designed for us to remember. This week's lesson uncovers the mystery of this forgotten and lost day.
People are more enlightened today and the Bible is freely distributed in many countries unopposed. Today, for many, sharing of the Gospel of Christ is much easier; and daily, many converts are won for Jesus Christ. But a few things have changed: the Word of God is not read as it should be, nor its principles held dear and practiced among all its believers. Many seem to be ashamed of the gospel of Jesus Christ and by their actions, are refusing to be counted. Many compromised its teachings and, instead of being true Protestants, have joined forces.
Finally, we are encouraged that as much as is possible, we should live peaceably with all. When we strive for peaceful resolution to our conflicts, we will be seen as peacemakers and will be called children of God. Today, He is saying to you and me, let there be peace. Let there be peace in our homes, in our offices, in our churches, and in our communities. Most importantly, let there be peace in our hearts.
After He departed Earth, Jesus sent us the Holy Spirit who speaks to us in softer tones. Amid the hustling and bustling of life, He still speaks. If you listen closely, you will hear Him say, “This is the way, walk ye in it.” As you train your ear to listen and your heart to obey, the voice of God will become clearer to you. His will for your life will be revealed; and when in obedience you follow His guidance, you will come to trust His leading.
