Thursday, July 30, 2015. NEVER TAKE YOUR EYES OFF OF GOD. In Matthew 14:22-31, we are told of the occasion that Jesus came walking on the water to the boat His disciples were on. Peter asked the Lord to allow him to also walk on the water. Jesus invited him to come. As Peter got out of the boat a great thing took place. He really was walking on water! Thursday, July 23, 2015.

Thursday, April 30, 2015. There was once a man who wanted to be one of the leaders of the church he attended. He began campaigning vigorously for the position. When the congregation declined to select him, he quit the church altogether. He simply didn’t realize that this action validated the wise judgment of his brethren. Peter’s presumptuous nature was a frequent source of humiliation to him. What impresses me is there was something in him more important than his arrogance. This was someth...In order fo...

Thursday, September 25, 2014. THE ESTABLISHMENT OF THE NEW TESTAMENT CHURCH. For the past two weeks, we have read the Biblical accounts of the death, burial and resurrection of Jesus Christ, the Son of God. Nowhere else is the story better told than in the inspired Scriptures. Our question now is, “Did His apostles continue to follow the commandment of Jesus to preach the Gospel and baptize those who would believe the Gospel message? The apostle Peter is preaching to the large crowd gathered and said, &#...

Thursday, November 27, 2014. A BETTER WAY OF LIFE. Holding a grudge and trying to get even with someone considered an enemy is not a good way of living, nor is it a right way to live. In fact, getting even with someone, or giving them a stern tongue lashing, can end up causing great misery and despair. A troubled woman once spoke with a counselor and asked, “Can the dead see and hear us? Give to him who asks you, and from him who wants to borrow from you do not turn away. We will truly find life much eas...

Thursday, January 29, 2015. In speaking to a large crowd of people, Jesus said the following words of Mark 8:34-38: “Whoever desires to come after Me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow Me. For whoever desires to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for My sake and the gospel's will save it. 8220;For what will it profit a man if he gains the whole world, and loses his own soul? Or what will a man give in exchange for his soul? These two young people had different op...

Thursday, May 28, 2015. THE HEAVENS DECLARE THE GLORY OF GOD. Psalm 19:1-3 says, “The heavens declare the glory of God; and the firmament shows His handiwork. Day unto day utters speech, and night unto night reveals knowledge. There is no speech nor language where their voice is not heard.”. How many times have you heard a cardinal’s voice singing and then look to see its bright red color? How many times have you seen geese as they fly south for the winter and north again when spring comes? There are rem...

Thursday, March 26, 2015. THE AUTHORITY FOR OUR LIVES. There are those in our day that feel they have become so “enlightened” that they believe the Bible is no longer relevant and authoritative for our lives. Some have felt so strongly about this, that they have made great efforts to take God, the Bible and prayer out of the view of society. At the conclusion of the sermon that is recorded in Matthew 5-7, the reaction of the multitude to Jesus’ teaching was significant. Matthew 7:28, 29 says, &...Jesus s...

Thursday, February 26, 2015. Most of us have likely stated at some point, “I’ve never been as busy in my entire life as I am right now.” No matter a person’s age, from youth to retirement years, people feel the stress of this statement. There is nothing wrong with activity within itself. Idleness is not a good way to live (2 Thessalonians 3:10). But many become frustrated because they feel their work and other activities have no real significance and produce so little. While on this earth, we should cons...

Newspaper Articles: OF GREAT VALUE LATER ON
http://stratfordcoc.blogspot.com/2015/07/of-great-value-later-on.html
Thursday, July 9, 2015. OF GREAT VALUE LATER ON. The speech that Lincoln felt was a flat failure would later be hailed as one of the great speeches of our nation’s history. Today it is known as the “Gettysburg Address”. Time tends to prove all of us wrong from time to time. What might be considered a valued opinion today may be looked at with disdain by later generations. Things that might be considered as wonderful today might not even be considered by the next generation. What Must I Do To Be Saved?
