The Faith of the Nobleman Webster defines “miracle” as, “an extraordinary event manifesting divine intervention in human affairs”. Oxford Dictionary says of miracles, “A surprising and welcome event that is not explicable by natural or scientific laws and is therefore considered to be the work of a divine agency”. In our time the word miracle…

TALK IS CHEAP

My hope is to give you some words of encouragement and to strengthen you from the word of God. 

President Lincoln was a man who certainly knew failure before he knew victory having lost many more elections than those which he won. In the scripture we read of one man, Simon Peter, who was a fisherman, selected by Christ to be one of the twelve yet mostly known for saying the wrong thing at the wrong time. When Jesus began to show His disciples that He must go to Jerusalem and be killed, it was Peter that rebuked the Lord. Peter in his eagerness, while on the mount of transfiguration, proposed setting up the three tabernacles, quickly being rebuked by the voice of God from heaven.

And it was Peter who said to the Lord, “Lord, I am ready to go with You, both to prison and to death” (Luke 22:33). Yet we read that was not what happen for in sight of Jesus when Peter was “accused” of being one of the Lord’s disciples Peter denied even knowing Jesus three times (vv.54-62).

Yes Talk is Cheap! We find in this text Peter’s bold declaration of loyalty, which I believe even Peter would admit was his greatest failure. From this I want to share with you 4 lessons which I hope will strengthen and encourage us all in our walk in faith. 

Anyone Can Fail!
The Enemy Is Ruthless!
The Savior is For Us!
The Failure of Life Can Be the Springboard of Greatness

Please listen in as we learn these four great lessons…

It is always my hope when I share a message that you receive encouragement and that you go from here and do good works. For over two thousand years Jesus has been standing at the right hand of the Father looking down at His church saying, “They’re looking for Me”, and one day Jesus will be sent back to take His own up to glory. We don’t know when it will be, but, ready or not Jesus is coming back. 

This lesson will be about what we do know for sure through the scriptures, and how we should respond to that knowledge. . .

In this lesson we will begin in Luke chapter 2. My hope is that the things that I teach are true, and that I hold fast to the scriptures that God has provided us and that this less will provide you encouragement to go on about doing good works of Christ.
In Luke 2 41 through 52 we notice that Joseph and Mary took Jesus with them to Jerusalem to observe the Passover Feast and they lost track of Jesus on their way home. They traveled a full days journey before they discovered His absence, spent the second day going back to Jerusalem and on the third day they found Him, in the temple.
This lesson will glean from this event in the life of Joseph, Mary and Jesus…
