    Have you heard of the phrase: “One person can ONLY do so much”? • This is only true without God. With God, we have to take the word ‘ONLY’ away. “One person can do so much!” • With God’s help, one person can make a lot of difference. I came ...read more

    The Holy Spirit's Indwelling

    Contributed by Jerry Cosper on Sep 7, 2022
     | 2,944 views

    As I deliver this message, I want you to silently ask yourself, “Can I truthfully say that the Holy Spirit lives in me.”

    I'm not sure if I am the only one that does this or not. Growing up, if I was ever walking down a dark country road by myself, I found myself whistling, or singing, or humming an old familiar gospel song. It seemed like it made everything safer. It made me feel protected as I drew myself ...read more

    Are You A Believer?

    Contributed by Stuart Blount on Sep 23, 2011
     | 8,185 views

    BELIEVING is more than simply saying the right things. BELIEVING is the way we receive all the benefits of God’s eternal plan.

The title is actually only used 3 times in scripture (Acts 11:26 ; Acts 26:28 ; 1 Peter 4:16) But in the New Testament other terms were more commonly used, followers, disciples and BELIEVERS. Acts 5:12 ...read more

    How would you like to receive a Christmas card with the figure of John the Baptist on it, saying— You “brood of vipers” (Matthew 3:7)?

    How would you like to receive a Christmas card with the figure of John the Baptist on it, saying— You “brood of vipers” (Matthew 3:7)? The expression means malice.
