     | 2,895 views

    When we have an encounter with God, changes happen. The first thing to change is our vision, our purpose in life. It is fascinating to study how the vision of Paul changed every time he had an encounter with God. It can happen to you. It will happen to you.

    Ladies, whether you have had several children or none at all, I'd venture to say you've never had to endure such harsh and unpleasant life-choices that are about to be brought to your attention.

    Biblical Mothers God loves us all and would like everybody to be saved. If you've had a difficult life, remember it could have been worse. With your faith and the helping hands of God life can be much sweeter and better. Ladies and gentlemen, whether you have parented a single child, several ...read more

    This sermon looks at Nicodemus’ ignorance as a religious leader as a springboard for teaching the necessity of the new birth.

     | 65,443 views

    David gives us three great lessons (plus many others) to help us to trust in the Lord more.

He had a confidence based not in his own abilities, but in the strength of the lord; mounting confidence which his enemies and even armies and war could shake. He knew from his past deliverances ...read more

    The Challenging Gift Of Prophecy

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Mar 27, 2022
     | 1,171 views

    Jesus exercising the gift of prophecy did not always bring about immediate growth in the population of the kingdom of God, and it will seldom do that for us.

    Thursday of the 3rd week in Lent When one commits himself to Christ in Baptism, three gifts come along with that commitment. Just as Jesus was, the Holy Spirit anoints the Christian to be priest, prophet, and leader. Jesus Himself was a priest according to the order of Melchisedek, not Levi or ...read more
