One teacher asked her students to write a composition entitled “What I’m thankful for on Thanksgiving.” 3. One boy wrote, “On Thanksgiving, I’m thankful that I’m not a ...read more

    The Bible doesn’t promise that life on earth would be pleasant for believers. Neither is it the will of God for us to just strive or survive; His plan is for us to thrive and be fruitful.

    THRIVING IN A HOSTILE ENVIRONMENT "12 Then Isaac sowed in that land, and reaped in the same year a hundredfold; and the Lord blessed him. 13 The man began to prosper, and continued prospering until he became very prosperous; 14 for he had possessions of flocks and possessions of herds and a ...read more

    TEXT: I Timothy 6:3-10 TITLE: The Envy Trap OPEN: How many of you have heard of the tooth fairy? (The question met with a little laughter as everyone raised their hands).

For you will enjoy the fullness of my salvation!” (TPT) In continuation with our study on Psalm 91, let us turn our attention to verse 16.
