Who Knows?
Pastor Hamilton
Throughout this book we have witnessed the tension between the fact that life is puzzling and life is precious. We are reminded of what we don’t know (vv. 2, 5, 6) and what we must know (v. 9b). The young and those who used to be young have the same responsibility—to use our days rejoicing in God and telling […]
Guilty! Guilty! Justified!
Pastor Hamilton
Mankind is dying and condemned. The bleakness of the picture must be accepted before the good news can be. Hope is not recognized as hope unless one sees first a hopeless situation.
God’s Reminder
Pastor Hamilton
How Jehovah-God affirmed his commitment to his people is moving and powerful. What a memorial to his loving-kindness! God showed power and sent prophets to prove irrefutably that he was able to deliver Israel. They had no reason to doubt him. God doesn’t need to write himself a note so that he doesn’t forget. He didn’t […]
Wise Counsel for the Living
Pastor Hamilton
With all its frustrations, life can still be full of “joy” for us. Key to true joy is living for God and choosing what’s right = wisdom.
A Mother’s Day Prayer
Pastor Hamilton
Mothers, today, let us honor you and what Christ has done for you and through you. Let me share with you how we are praying for you on this Mother’s Day. We ask the Lord today to help you…. At the end of each day thank the Lord for the gifts he has given (including children). […]
Meaningful Existence
Pastor Hamilton
While life is full of vexations and blessings, we should not waste our life trying to fix things we cannot. Our primary occupation should be enjoying God and what he gives.
Living Here Below
Pastor Hamilton
With all the complexities of daily human existence, we do have some comforting truths. First, God is always governing over his creation (vv. 2–11). Second, God is faithful to bless those who fear him (vv. 12–14).
When Fortunes Are Restored
Mark Perry
God’s creation, marred and afflicted by sin, will one day be restored. God’s redemptive plan for the cosmos is centered in one Man, Jesus Christ. The times of ignorance God overlooked, but now he commands all people everywhere to repent, because he has fixed a day on which he will judge the world in righteousness by a man whom he has […]
Good News and Great Joy
Pastor Hamilton
Jesus didn’t leave his disciples with a question mark, but an exclamation point. The body of Christ, the church, in order to go in power and change the world, must first— Be convinced of his resurrection power. Be commissioned for global witness. Be comforted with and compelled with the Spirit’s presence.
Opened Eyes
Pastor Hamilton
Every disciple needs the encouragement and focus that comes with walking with the Lord and learning the Scriptures better. The reality of the resurrection provided the anchor for faith that the early church needed! Learn to value time in the Word where Christ still instructs and corrects us.
