I'd like to begin today by reading something from John G. Lake, somewhere in The Collected Writings of John G. Lake: "Beloved, there is a deep, passionate yearning in my soul that above all else this congregation may set forth, to the praise of God, such a character of righteousness in ...read more

A Next Generation Prayer Series

Contributed by Scott Maze on Jun 17, 2021

Developing The Attitude Of Faithfulness Series

Contributed by Manny Salva Cruz on Jan 10, 2016

When God blessed us, He wants to know if we have been faithful with these blessings. In this message, we will learn from Joshua 22 that God requires us to be faithful in our lifetime. May we develop this attitude of faithfulness starting this New Year.

Last week, we talked about building great attitudes for the New year. We said that attitude is everything. Attitude is more important than facts, than the past, than education, than money, than circumstances. We cannot change the past but we can change the way we react to difficult situations.
