Weathering the Storms of Life

by

Mark 6: 45-52. Storms are inevitable. Sometimes it seems there’s no way out. Our response often makes the difference on how we weather the storm.

HEROES: Job

by

Job 19:23-25.  Although the book of Job deals with suffering it is more a presentation of the process Job goes through while dealing with his suffering.  He identifies the source of his suffering.

The Tithe Belongs to the Lord

They offered blemished sacrifices; the priests had become unfaithful; divorce was commonplace and easy; their words wearied God; businessmen were defrauding their workers, cheating their customers and taking advantage of widows, orphans and immigrants.
