We're Doing Life Together Series

Contributed by D. Greg Ebie on Aug 21, 2016

It’s one thing to believe God brings us together as the body of Christ for His glory, and it is another to act upon what you believe. We can believe all the right stuff, but faith without works is still dead right? Let's walk together in covenant.

Overflowing With Hope

Contributed by Mark Opperman on May 6, 2015

Trust is something that develops and grows through time and faithfulness. But without trust (faith) we cannot please God. When we read in God’s word that He has never failed anyone who put their trust in Him, that should do something for our trust level.

Why Doesn't God Answer My Prayers?

Contributed by James Dina on Jul 23, 2020

We've prayed so long, so hard, without any results. There is great assurance that He hears every prayer. He has made everything beautiful in its time. The longer a prayer is delayed, the more perfect it will come forth at last. The deeper the silence, the louder the answer.

Uriah’s Be Careful

Contributed by Samuel M on Jun 24, 2024

Uriah blindly trusted David because of his reputation and position, without discerning his intentions and motives. Uriah worked hard and had a good reputation at work, yet he died as a result of David's grave sin. Uriah’s only mistake was blindly believing David.

And David wrote in the letter, saying, “Set Uriah in the forefront of the [c]hottest battle, and retreat from him, that he may be struck down and die.” 2 Samuel 11:15 When a man of God is living in sin, he is more dangerous than Satan.
