The importance of his presence

What is the meaning of Exodus 33 7 11?

This passage illustrates the contrast between Moses' closeness with the LORD and the people's broken fellowship. Moses experienced fellowship and harmony with the LORD on the basis of his faithful obedience, while the Israelites were made distant from God because of their obstinance.

All my life you have been faithful

Psalm 23 is meant to inspire calm. The Lord is personal to David, and He provides everything David needs. As the Good Shepherd, He guides David to green pastures and calm waters. All is peaceful!

Treasues for the heart

Luke2:8-20

Seeing that the shepherds were terrified, in verse 10 the angel gives them a command: “Do not be afraid.” This is perhaps easier said than done, but the shepherds offer us an example of great faith as they choose faith over fear, choosing to trust in God and continuing to follow his commands

The reason for the season

Matthew 1:18–25 tells the story of the birth of Christ from the perspective of Joseph. This man is betrothed to be married to Mary, but finds out she is pregnant. He does not realize, yet, that this child is Christ, and that she is pregnant by a miracle of the Holy Spirit.

The signs of Christmas -The swaddling cloth

Luke 2:8–21 describes shepherds who are visited by numerous angels. These beings proclaim the birth of Christ and explain where He can be found. The men follow the angels' directions and find Jesus, Joseph, and Mary just as predicted

The signs of Christmas - The virgin birth

Luke 1:26–38 
relates how a virgin learned she would miraculously bear the Son of God. The angel Gabriel comes to Mary, who is engaged to a man named Joseph. Gabriel tells Mary that she will bear a son, to be named Jesus. He will be the Promised One long awaited by the people of Israel.

The signs of Christmas - The Star

Matthew 2:1-12
The story teaches us that Jesus is our King and we should put him first in our life. The Magi could collude with King Herod, but for them Jesus Christ is greater and more powerful than Herod. They endured a long journey from Persia to Bethlehem to meet Jesus, the King. They risked their lives for the sake of Jesus

The Royal Line

Now, through the baby boy born to her daughter-in-law and the kinsmen redeemer of her family, she holds redemption for her and her family in her arms. It is as if the women were saying, “See, Naomi, the Lord never left you without a redeemer.” In a greater way, the Lord provides us a redeemer for our souls.

Redeeming love -Love in action

Ruth 4:1-12

What is the meaning of Ruth chapter 4?

In this wonderful chapter we see that those upon whom the Grace of the Lord Jesus Christ rests have been saved from slavery to sin and from the wages of sin – which is eternal death – by Jesus who paid the price that was demanded through giving His own life for us on the Cross.

Redeeming love: The kinsman redeemer Part 2

Ruth 3:1-18 

What does the book of Ruth teach us today?

The compassion and love shared by Naomi and her daughter-in-law Ruth can inspire those who study this book to consider their relationships with others both inside and outside of their families. The book of Ruth can also teach students how the Lord watches over and blesses those who follow Him and obey His teachings.
