Pastor Alvis Mid Week Sermon "What Should The Righteous Do in 2021?

-

 I want to express my thanksgiving and praise to God for honoring His Word as it goes forth in this Bible Study blog. When I began doing the blog almost two years ago, I had a great burden to share God's truth with other people because I know what He has done to change me through His Word. I never imagined that He would take this blog and send it into 95 nations around the world. I am humbled by this and freely give all credit to our Father in heaven for leading people here to study and grow in their faith. 

2 Thessalonians 3:1  Finally, brethren, pray for us, that the word of the Lord may have free course, and be glorified, even as it is with you:

Please continue to share this blog with your friends and loved ones and pray that God will glorify Himself as men, women and young people study His truth. Please pray that the Word of God will have "free course" as I post each lesson.

Psalm 119:18  Open thou mine eyes, that I may behold wondrous things out of thy law.

Please pray that the Holy Spirit of God will open the eyes of many people so that the Word penetrates their hearts and they believe on the Lord Jesus Christ for salvation ( Corinthians 2:9-14; John 14:15-26; 16:4-15). 

May we all renew our commitment to Christ as the New Year approaches and may we may seek to live for the glory of God alone. 

Here is the link to Pastor Alvis Midweek sermon. It was a very good reminder of how God wants us to live for Him.

In Christ's love to all of you.

Bob

Hymn Story of "Sunshine in My Soul Today"

  Good afternoon.. I have a great hymn history to share with you today. One of the outstanding hymn writers was Eliza Hewitt. This hymn "Sunshine in My Soul Today" was written by Eliza after she suffered a serious injury. The lyrics and an excellent performance of the hymn are included. Psalm 92:1 “I will be glad and rejoice in thee: I will sing praise to thy name,  O thou most High.” In 1851 Eliza Edmunds Hewitt was born, and grew to be valedictorian of her class and a school teacher in Pennsylvania.   At some point in her teaching career an unruly student struck her on the back with a piece of heavy slate.   This injury left Eliza in a heavy cast for months, confined to her room. During this time of painful confinement, Eliza was determined not to be bitter, and started writing hymns.   Many of them were praise hymns, such as:   Stepping in the Light, Singing I Go, Victory in Jesus and many more. When she was able to go outside for the first time on...

Elohim: the first name of God used in the Bible

-
I thought it might be helpful to look with you a bit regarding the very first name of God we encounter in the Bible. The Hebrew word translated "God" in Genesis 1 is "Elohim." Genesis 1:1-2 In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth. And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters. Elohim is the English spelling of a Hebrew name of God.  You might ask, “When will I know when this name Elohim appears in the Old Testament?”  Our translators translated the Hebrew name Elohim as “God” 2,606 times in the plural form and “God” 245 times from its singular form.  Elohim or God appears 31 times in the first chapter of Genesis.  Why did God give us many different names for Himself?   God is an infinite being.  God is without limits.  Since He is a limitless God, He chose various Hebrew names to reveal certain facets of Himself to m...

Hymn Story of "Speak O Lord"

-

Good morning... I have a hymn for all of your to rejoice in and enjoy. This beautiful hymn was written by Stuart Towned and Keith Getty in 2005. It represents a growing and pressing need for the people of God to return to solid Bible preaching and teaching as they turn away from that which does not satisfy our soul. The verses are inserted below along with a link to hear and sing it. I hope that this hymn brings joy and passion for Christ and His Word into our hearts. Bob The story behind "Speak O Lord" One of Christianity's distinctives is that we worship a God who has spoken - who is not silent. From God the Father, speaking the world into creation, to speaking through His Living word in Christ, to speaking by His Spirit through the written word. Throughout history the word of God has transformed the most proud leaders and the most hopeless victims, the greatest civilisations and the remotest of villages, in every age to every corner of the world...
