Avoid Enslaving Yourself To Sexual Sin Series

Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Jan 10, 2021

St Paul shares the reason serious Christians are most careful to avoid sex with anyone other than his spouse, why sexual sin is always serious: it’s a sin against our very selves.

When God Calls Your Name: Samuel Series

Contributed by Scott Bayles on Sep 11, 2021

How would you respond if God called your name not once, but twice? In the Bible, God calls plenty of people often by name, but I’ve only found seven times where God calls out someone’s name twice in a row. In each instance, what follows is a life-changing encounter with the God of creation.

Right Posture To Hear From God

Contributed by Samuel M on Apr 5, 2025

In God’s tabernacle or house, the Lord speaks with a loud voice rather than a small still voice and it is similar to the shepherd’s voice. If you want to hear the Lord speak loudly, come to God's house. This voice is so loud that it can awaken you from you spiritual sleep, famine, or dryness.

And the LORD called Samuel again the third time. So he arose and went to Eli, and said, “Here I am, for you did call me.” Then Eli perceived that the LORD had called the boy. 9 Therefore Eli said to Samuel, “Go, lie down; and it shall be, if He calls you, that you must say, ‘Speak, LORD, for Your ...read more
