When God comes to his earth again, there will be no more death or mourning or crying or pain. The earth will be made new. The Holy City of Jerusalem will descend to the earth and we will reign with Christ forever. Glory will shine. t.e2ma.net/message/lz6jgj/t9…

One day, when God says so, all wars will end. Jesus will come not to take sides but to take over. What a day that will be! Come quickly, Lord Jesus. t.e2ma.net/message/pi8wfj/t9…

Beware any day that we do not put our trust in God. Like March 15 for Julius Caesar, that day will not go well for us. t.e2ma.net/message/1z5rfj/t9…

Let us look to the Lord and not to our own self-sufficiency and resources. We cannot save ourselves. But when we lift up our eyes to the Lord, we will find that he neither slumbers nor sleeps. He will protect us if we look to him. t.e2ma.net/message/d519ej/t9…

God sovereignly works through our process:  sometimes to bring goodness and sometimes to bring judgment. Often, we don’t know in the moment which way God is working. t.e2ma.net/message/pu56ej/t9…

We worship God for his plan to save us. For his power and protection we praise him. In view of his perfect provision, let the whole word know of his deeds and his name. Best of all we praise God for his abiding presence among his people t.e2ma.net/message/1jpkej/t9…

We can never make ourselves moral or impressive enough to please God. No human being can obey the law well enough to deserve the Lord’s favor. If our good works cannot get us to Heaven, we must rely entirely on a Savior to bring Heaven down to us. t.e2ma.net/message/p6eucj/t9…

The Lord is a holy place, a rock that causes some to stumble. Isaiah wrote the words God gave him.  His choice teaches us the posture of waiting on the Lord and trusting him. t.e2ma.net/message/piwncj/t9…

Like Ahaz, faith alone provides the only firm footing for us to stand. If we do not stand in faith, we will not stand at all. t.e2ma.net/message/d5p0bj/t9…

Fear may knock on your door today. Let faith answer the door. Nothing will be there. Since God is with us, who can be against us?t.e2ma.net/message/1brsbj/t9…

it had always been what Deuteronomy 10:16 calls a circumcision of the heart, that is, a heart that loves and longs to obey the Lord’s perfect righteousness. t.e2ma.net/message/5inhbj/t9…

We all know the commands of God—many of us even teach them. But the world needs to see us follow them in humble obedience to God. t.e2ma.net/message/pqmhbj/t9…

We are called not just to know a lot about righteousness or be a part of a righteous organization, but to obey our Lord and pursue a life of doing what is good—because we know what is good. t.e2ma.net/message/xg42aj/t9…

We are wonderfully made by a wonderful Maker. Safe to say, he knew what he was doing when he created us as we are. As we continue to walk in his ways, God will help us to discover who we are in the Kingdom of God. Created in the image of a perfect Father, we bless others because our Father has blessed us. t.e2ma.net/message/ljer6i/t9…

Before the resurrection, the disciples couldn’t conceive of resurrection. And now, before Jesus returns to turn our sorrow into joy, we can’t possibly imagine how. But remember back to when Lazarus was raised! No one then could understand how new life could happen until it happened. Jesus has promised that all our current anguish will fade into oblivion compared to the great joy he will bring us. Don’t forget our hope in that promise. We will see Jesus again. t.e2ma.net/message/d55o1i/t9…

Jesus gives one other reminder: that this is for our good. We have the Spirit of God with us; we live in the best age of human history thus far. We truly are not alone; we have God himself with us, guiding us in all truth. Listen to the Spirit’s guidance and convictions, and walk according to the truth! t.e2ma.net/message/dptk1i/t9…

In every generation God appoints wisdom to someone. They are all around us. Our job is to find that person and listen. How do we recognize them? First, we pray. Then we look for a person who has both understanding and integrity. God will guide you to and through those people. Find them and listen. t.e2ma.net/message/1fio1i/t9…

Bad news and good news come into every life. We don’t get to choose the order. Someone said that troubles come in herds. The best news is God always gives us enough light to depend on him in every circumstance. The God who gave Pharaoh advance notice of a famine is speaking to us today through the story of his Son Jesus who gave his life for us. This is the best news of all, and it transcends all the other stories in our lives. Tell the good news! t.e2ma.net/message/h0kk1i/t9…

Every day, when we pray, we enter the presence of our great King. How do we prepare to meet God?  James suggested washing our hands and purifying our hearts (James 4:8). Mostly, it has to do with our hearts. Do we come before our King with appropriate humility? Here is a good prayer to practice, “I cannot do it, but God . . .” t.e2ma.net/message/1nsh1i/t9…

God never forgot Joseph. Right on GST, God’s standard time, he gave the Pharaoh the right dreams at the right time. God was always working for Joseph. Joseph’s God is our God, too. He has not forgotten you. Paul later told the beleaguered believers in Rome: “And we know that in all things, God is working for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose.”  Joseph loved God. Do we? He will not waste a moment of our pain. He is working. t.e2ma.net/message/5qld1i/t9…
