These were more fair-minded than those in Thessalonica, in that they received the word with all readiness, and searched the Scriptures daily to find out whether these things were so. Acts 17:11

Strange Times – Part 1

What happens to a society when there is no universal standard of authority and conduct? It may sound appealing for every person to determine their own “truth”, live by their own morality, and believe and worship according to their own theology, but ancient Israel in the era of the judges illustrates, that this led to chaos. It is no different in our own times. The book of Judges relays some head-scratching stories that played out in the lives of God’s own people during this time when “every man did what was right in his own eyes.” In the story of a man named Micah, we see how this philosophy led to a spiritual breakdown in the home that then reverberated to every other sector of their society.

A Prayer for Understanding

A Prayer for Understanding


Prayer is vital in our relationship with our Father in Heaven. The disciples knew this and asked Jesus how to pray. Jesus gives them an example, not a prayer to recite, but an example:

Our Father in heaven, Hallowed be Your name. Your kingdom come. Your will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors. And do not lead us into temptation, but deliver us from the evil one. For Yours is the kingdom and the power and the glory forever. Amen.  Matthew 6:9-13

The Flesh vs The Spirit

When He had called the people to Himself, with His disciples also, He said to them, “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. 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? For whoever is ashamed of Me and My words in this adulterous and sinful generation, of him the Son of Man also will be ashamed when He comes in the glory of His Father with the holy angels.”

Mark 8:34-38

When we read Jesus’ unambiguous language — His direct assertions — we find a binary choice (this or that) amd it may seem that following Him will be easy. How could it not — it is a simple choice, right?

By Our Fruits We Are Known

Fruit is an oft-repeated theme in the Bible. In Genesis 2 we learn the importance of distinguishing between fruits. Among the trees in the Garden of Eden were the tree of life and the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. God commanded Adam, “Of every tree of the garden you may freely eat; but of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil you shall not eat, for in the day that you eat of it you shall surely die.” Genesis 2:16-17

Knowing God

Let the Bible Speak with Brett Hickey

We begin a series on Knowing God this week. When the apostle Paul addresses the pagan crowd in Athens in Acts 17, he sought to find common ground in the god they ignorantly worshipped. Would he take the same approach today? Watch as evangelist Brett Hickey preaches a gospel sermon titled, “The Unknown God.”
We hope you enjoy this series on the attributes of God. In today’s message, we will explore one of the attributes that many people think of when they think of God… his goodness.
We continue our series on the attributes of God by discussing the immutability of God. The Bible says in Malachi 3:6 that the Lord doesn’t change. What implications does this have for us today?
When we think of the attributes of God, none more readily comes to mind than the fact that God is love. Watch Let the Bible Speak as evangelist Brett Hickey discusses this all-important topic.
God is love. No Divine attribute makes as great an impression as does this one. But is God’s love unconditional? Watch Let the Bible Speak as evangelist Brett Hickey explores this important question.
God tells us, “Be holy for I am holy.” But what does that mean? Watch evangelist Brett Hickey explore this attribute of God and what it means for disciples today.
Last week we noticed God’s command, “Be holy, for I am holy.” Watch Let the Bible Speak as evangelist Brett Hickey probes the holiness of God further in his message, God’s Name is Holy.
We continue our study through the attributes of God. This week, we explore his forgiveness.

Imitate Me, Just as I also Imitate Christ

Imitate me, just as I also imitate Christ. Now I praise you, brethren, that you remember me in all things and keep the traditions as I delivered them to you.

1 Corinthians 11:1-2

It is very interesting how the Apostle Paul opens 1 Corinthians 11. It is a classic counseling tool. In verse two, he praises the Corinthian brethren inasmuch as they have followed his teachings, or traditions, as it is translated in the NKJV. Then Paul proceeds to instruct them on how they need to correct their ways.
