Living Life Beyond The Now Series

Contributed by Guy Mcgraw on Mar 5, 2012

Paul wrote so much to remind and encourage about what it meant to live beyond this life and how we should celebrate that truth that the world cannot understand.

War, persecution, disease and lack of medical advances made death a constant reality. Paul wrote so much to ...read more

A Pathway To Success - Beyond Uncertianty

Contributed by Otis Mcmillan on Apr 28, 2020

Someone has well said, “Nature forms us. Sin deforms us. Education informs us. BUT ONLY CHRIST TRANSFORMS US.” The Lord doesn’t expect us to do everything, but He does expect us to do something. He expects us to be more alert to the opportunities around us to pray, live and witness for Christ.

The Apostle Paul who had invested so much in the life of young Timothy, helps him prepare for a new beginning by offering him a pathway to success. I believe this is also a pathway for our success as we prepare the church to make its own mark. Timothy had been left at Ephesus to manage the affairs ...read more

This message explains why we do not have blessings or joy in our lives and how we go about getting those blessings from God. To do so, we use the passage found in PSALM 1:1-6 as our main authority.
