Equality With God

Contributed by Jerry Cosper on May 23, 2012

In this passage, Jesus will give us 9 proofs that He is equal with God.

As Christians, we need to face the claim of Jesus that He is equal with God. We went into detail about this in chapter 1 but again we are faced with this claim tonight.

Jesus has given you a job, to build up the church. Do it, and if you need leader's help to be effective, seek them out so they can fix you.

The Battle Within

Contributed by Stephen Aram on Apr 11, 2021

If we want to be useful for God, we will need to learn to say "no" when our body calls for food or rest in ways that hold us back. When the devil tried to deter Jesus from his mission by tempting him to turn stones to bread when he was supposed to fast, Jesus stood strong.

Perhaps once or twice in a century a truly titanic battle occurs in which the history of earth hangs in the balance. The D-Day invasion might be one. Both armies had invested many thousands of their men, millions of dollars worth of equipment and their very best modern strategies. It was a ...read more

Not All Is Lost

Contributed by Lucy Paynter on Mar 25, 2022

I was invited to minister at a conference this weekend. The Theme is, "NOT ALL IS LOST." I wondered why they phrased it that way, and why not "All is Not Lost,"

Do not rephrase or rearrange the sentence but pause, reflect and let it sink in NOT ALL IS LOST! Loss is one of the most devastating issues with no rules or plans. It ...read more
