     | 5,698 views

    Series on men and women’s prayers in the Bible made a difference and how prayer truly is a difference maker in our lives. I borrowed the outlines from SermonCentral Pro Contributor Tim Byrd.

    Many prayers went up for my wife's healing after the discovery of an aggressive brain tumor. She died in March of 2018. God said NO to her healing in this world. How do we respond when the answer is ,'No'?

    Turning Thorns Into Roses

    Contributed by Paul Andrew on Jun 3, 2018
     | 6,778 views

    The decided weakness of Paul, which he called his “thorn” was kept vague so everybody could relate to whatever type of aggravating affliction, discomfort, constant temptation, emotional or physical or bouts.

    14B Elif Shafak wrote “be thankful for every thorn that others might throw at you. It is a sign that you will soon be showered in roses”   1). The thorn “thrown”at Our Lord in our Gospel reading today was actually the rude comments by his hometown folks who dismissed him as being “all too ...read more

    God formed us, shaped us, like a master potter. Do we trust Him? When He directs our path, do we make excuses why we can’t do it, or do we walk boldly along that path in faith? God didn’t create you to be the centerpiece on a display shelf… He created you as a clay pot to be useful for His kingdom!

    When we accept Jesus as Lord there is an excitement. We want to save the world. But over time the world beats so many of us into silence. This message is about how the Apostle Paul refused to let circumstances keep him from finishing his race.

    The book of Philippians – The Back Story Roman Prison: The Tullianum (Keep) When we read scripture sometimes knowing the circumstances from which they were written can paint what we read in a totally different light. Paul’s letter to the Philippians is an excellent example of this. It’s common ...read more

    We base so much of our lives on our feelings about God, and wonder if God cares, does He have a heart for me. This message begins to look at that issue in our lives.
