Our spiritual, garden-text tells us this.  But when the Jews from Thessalonica learned that the word of God was preached by Paul at Berea, they came there also and stirred up the crowds. Acts 17: 13 We are looking at some Jews from Thessalonica and noting bulldozer type responses to the Word of God. I say bulldozer type actions, because they were rather noisy, bullying and causing undue upheaval in that city. Here is a report of some of their actions. Remember, these were the

Let’s not lose sight of the fact that this text is our spiritual garden for this week. Let’s not forget that all are eligible and most graciously welcome to hear its words and receive its abundance. But when the Jews from Thessalonica learned that the word of God was preached by Paul at Berea, they came there also and stirred up the crowds. Acts 17: 13 We note with rejoicing hearts that Jews and others, followed the Word of God and were persuaded to give their lives to Jesus.

Here again is our garden text. But when the Jews from Thessalonica learned that the word of God was preached by Paul at Berea, they came there also and stirred up the crowds. Acts 17: 13 Perusing the text, we note the name Jews and straightway we think of God’s chosen people. When we hear Jews, we think of commandments, religious, favoured, God’s treasured ones, God’s chosen ones and a lot more  wonderfully blessed things about them. Just to put it all into perspective, here

Here is a statement, though it sounds most sweeping, it is absolutely true in its intention and attention. The statement of enduring fact is this. People of all intentions follow the Word of God. Many, even in our day, still seek after the Word of God for two reasons and two reasons only. The Word of God is sought for good reasons and for bad reasons. It is sought to give and ensure its life and it is sought to give and ensure its death. The main, stabilizing Scripture verse

On this first Lord’s Day Sunday in a new week, feelings, emotions, attitudes and thoughts of all kinds fill us. Believers, men and women of different ages, in different circumstances, aware of the fast approaching Advent Season, begin to feel all kinds of moods and minds. There are feelings of joy, tinged with dots of sadness. In others, there are thoughts of excitement, tempered by feelings of uncertainty and rush. Still, with others, there are words of resolution, punctuate

These questions were brought before us at the end of yesterday’s offering. What God-given power and authority have we in our feet? How potent are our feet? Our divine desire and pleading-need was and still is this. As we return to these Scripture verses whether familiar or unfamiliar, we shall be refreshed, re-fused, refueled and returned to all privilege, favour and pronouncement, concerning our feet. Holy Creator God, Holy Spirit Divine, Holy Saviour and Redeemer, even as e

Let’s begin by listening again to Scripture, in relationship to God and you and me, and in relationship to whom He has created us to be. Then God said, Let Us make man in Our image, according to Our likeness; let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, over the birds of the air, and over the cattle, over all the earth and over every creeping thing that creeps on the earth. So God created man in His own image; in the image of God He created him; male and female He created

We ended with this quote on yesterday’s offering. Have dominion over the fish of the sea, over the birds of the air, and over every living thing that moves on the earth. Looking around at ordinary, daily human operations, we find it much easier to see how we are able to have dominion over the fish of the sea and the birds of the air. However, when it comes to our minds accepting this order of God, to have dominion over every living thing that moves, we begin to shave off, pee

Our business today, comes with two parts. First and foremost we are continuing to acknowledge and keep unmovably firm and stabilized in our working minds that God is Lord, Supreme, Sovereign, High over all. Yours, O LORD, is the greatness, the power and the glory, the victory and the majesty; for all that is in heaven and in earth is Yours, Yours is the kingdom, O LORD, and You are exalted as head over all. Both riches and honor come from You, and You reign over all. In Your

We have come to this time, trusting God to keep us ever watchful, aware and seeking in prayer, to save us from our first nature. It is our tendency to allow trials, burdens, troubles and all the cares of this transient world, to lure us into being controlled and managed by the person and presence of the cunning deceiver, and not by the Person and Presence of the True One. We must be forever persistent in seeking to keep our Lord, as our Changeover Person, at all times.  As we
