    A Nation, Humble In Prayer

    Contributed by Jason Duhon on Mar 11, 2016
     | 4,114 views

    One of the chief reasons for the current downward spiral of America is our refusal to humble ourselves before God. As long as we refuse to acknowledge our sins before God, we will not be blessed.

    A Nation, Humble in Prayer James 4:1-10 In George Washington's personal writings there is an entry on the 12th day of April, 1779: The Honorable the Congress having recommended it to the United States to set apart Thursday the 6th. day of May next to be observed as a day of fasting, humiliation ...read more

    "Weeping may endure for the night, but joy comes in the morning" (Psalm 30:5).

    A JOYFUL TESTIMONY. Psalm 30. The junior members of the drama group were playing the part of carol singers in the musical play Toad of Toad Hall. I can still remember hearing their sweet voices singing just one line: “Joy shall be yours in the morning” (Psalm 30:5). I did not know the Lord then, ...read more

    When You Pray Series

    Contributed by Perry Greene on Oct 30, 2016
     | 4,762 views

    This series is based on the movie, War Room. This lesson is a reminder of God's Expectation of our prayers. It is not, "If" but "When" we pray.

    1. A few weeks ago I attended a conference put on by "Strategic Renewal." While I was there I purchased a T-shirt with the slogan, "Make the Church Great Again." Perhaps one of the ways God will make the church great again is through the prayers of His people. 2. We know that God is anxious to hear ...read more

    How To Be Happy

     | 5,072 views

    Happiness is not something that just happens accidentally. God's word makes it plain that the only source is in Christ Jesus the Lord. It would not seem so strange if only the lost were void of happiness, but numbers of those who call themselves Christians are found in the sad company.

    HOW TO BE HAPPY Psalms 146:5 INTRODUCTION: Happiness is not something that just happens accidentally. God's word makes it plain that the only source is in Christ Jesus the Lord.

    What does God have to say about pleasure, anyway?

    Is His Pleasure the same as My Pleasure? Ps 147:11 The LORD taketh pleasure in them that fear him, in those that hope in his mercy.

     | 1,403 views

    Suffering is hard to handle. It is easier when it is us going through it and not our loved ones, but it is still hard.

    Suffering is hard to handle. None of us like it. Usually, we can handle it better in ourselves than having to watch friends and loved ones go through it. We were just like our children, and we ask why not only for ourselves but for others. If they're not careful, we try to inform others why ...read more
