  • "God’s Visitation Program”

    Contributed on May 6, 2025

     | 124 views

    How can we live in such as way as Christ followers that God will be free to show up and show off in our lives and draw unbelievers to Christ?

    I want to talk with you about God’s visitation program. Now, when we think of a visitation program in church, we think of visiting someone to tell them about Jesus. But today, I want us to think about God visiting us to show Jesus to others. (READ TEXT) In verse 12, Peter mentions “the day God ...read more

    Elijah provides a great example of how God uses prayer to change our lives.

    It has been said about prayer that “Prayer doesn’t change God, it changes me.” Indeed, God uses prayer to teach us some things about ourselves to reveal things to us that can change our lives for the better. This is what God used prayer to do for Elijah. Through prayer, God changed Elijah from ...read more

    How should we approach the Word of God?

    Ephesians 5:18-33; 6:1-9 and Colossians 3:16-25; 4:1 are two interesting passages to compare. In Ephesians 5:18, we read, “be filled with the Spirit” and in Colossians 3:16, we read, “Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly.” Each passage then describes how being filled with the Spirit and ...read more

    One must allow the Holy Spirit to fill their life if they are to live a life of eternal significance.

    Financial expert and radio personality, Dave Ramsey says there are three things one can do with money: spend, give, or invest. Of course, one must become debt free first. There’s a parallel between what he says about money and what God says about life. I can spend my life, give my life, or invest ...read more

    Living a life of eternal significance is the heritage of every Child of God.

    In a corner of London’s Highgate cemetery is a large marble tomb. It’s long and box-like, with a life-sized sculpture of a dog at its foot. An inscription says, “Erected to the memory of Thomas Sayers”. Now, if I were to ask who Thomas Sayers was, most of us wouldn’t know. But when he died the ...read more

    A fellow once made the remark that if he were God, he could certainly do things much better than God seemed to. For example, he said, if I were God I would not have caused the fruit of such a tremendous tree as the oak to be an acorn. Such a mighty tree needs to bear a much larger fruit, like a ...read more

     | 2,398 views

    I took a piece of modeling clay; And idly molded it one day; And as my fingers pressed it still, It moved and yielded to my will. I came again when days were past; The piece of clay was hard at last. The shape I gave it still it bore; And I could change it nevermore. I took apiece of living ...read more

    We read in the papers, we hear on the air, Of killing and stealing, and crime everywhere. We sigh, and we say, as we notice the trend, "This young generation! Where will it all end?" But can we be sure that it’s their fault alone? That maybe most of it isn’t really our own ? Too much money to ...read more
