A Feast in the Wilderness
by Dr. William Jeffcoat (Oct 15 2010)
By trusting in the promises of God, God's people can enjoy a feast even in the wilderness. Just because we are going through difficult times doesn't mean we can't possess joy and peace in the process. Dr. William Jeffcoat reminds us to enjoy the feast of God's faithfulness and forgiveness.
The Power of the Lord was Present to Heal Them
by Dr. William Jeffcoat (Oct 14 2010)
When people gathered round to see the Lord heal the man who was brought to Jesus by his four friends, they marvelled at what they saw. They were amazed at the "strange" things they saw that day. However, the Bible says that the power of the Lord was present to heal them, meaning the Pharisees and doctors of the law. They were wanting to watch God work in other people, when God really wanted to do a work in them.
The Testimony of the Leper
by Dr. William Jeffcoat (Oct 13 2010)
There was a proper Old Testament procedure to follow when a leper came to the temple to declare a cleansing. The only problem was that an actual occurance of this procedure is not recorded in the Scriptures. Using a passage in Luke 5 and Leviticus 14, Dr. William Jeffcoat preaches on the testimony of the leper. He stresses the importance of expecting God to still save even the vilest of sinners. The testimony of the leper reminds us that God still heals the most broken among us.
Rumor or Reality
by Dr. William Jeffcoat (Oct 12 2010)
In several passages, the Bible tells us that because of Jesus did, His fame spread abroad in all the land. People were hearing about the amazing things He did. But soon, fame turned into rumor as people began to be less interested in the past. We must not rest in past successes, but rather work to make God's miraculous working a reality in the present. Is Jesus a rumor or reality?
