Bring Me A Worm

Contributed by Carol Moore on Jun 22, 2019

Instead of asking the Spirit to come to us, why not accept His invitation to step into His circle.

John Wesley once said, “Bring me a worm that can comprehend a man, and then I will show you a man that can comprehend the Triune God.” The Trinity, Three-in-One, is confusing any way you try to look at it. It is the reason that Muslims say we believe in three gods. If it confuses you, then you ...read more

"ordinary People For An Extraordinary Calling" Series

Contributed by Donald Whitchard on Dec 31, 2020

In His early ministry, He preached in His hometown synagogue and nearly got Himself killed as a result (Luke 4:16-30). Wherever Jesus went, He either ...read more
