    Contributed by Kenneth Trent on Nov 18, 2002
    based on 34 ratings
     | 3,223 views

    The Christian sees what the unbeliever does not see; believes what the unbeliever does not believe; and will escape what the unbeliever cannot escape.

    NOTABLE MIRACLES IN THE CHRISTIAN LIFE "What shall we do to these men? For, indeed, that a notable miracle has been done through them is evident to all who dwell in Jerusalem, and we cannot deny it." Acts 4:26. I.

    The Power Of A Personal Pentecost

    Contributed by Kenneth Trent on Nov 18, 2002
    based on 49 ratings
     | 3,777 views

    In a positional sense there were only two "Pentecosts" mentioned in the Bible recorded in Acts 2 and Acts 10 but a "personal pentecost" is available to every Christian who earnestly seeks the anointing power of the Holy Spirit in their life.

    THE POWER OF A PERSONAL PENTECOST "But you shall receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you; and you shall be witnesses to Me in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the end of the earth." Acts 1:8. The Book of Acts records two great "Pentecostal" experiences in the early ...read more

    based on 34 ratings
     | 7,143 views

    We need to be credible as Christians if we’re to fulfill our reason for being here - to share the gospel with those we meet. We’ll do this by showing the sorts of Characteristics that Jesus describes in the sermon on the mount and by the way we live toget

    There’s no doubt that Christianity and the Church are currently experiencing our greatest crisis of credibility since the middle ages.

    There Was A Man Sent From God

    Contributed by Kenneth Trent on Nov 19, 2002
    based on 58 ratings
     | 6,774 views

    Just as God raised up John the Baptist to proclaim repentance and to call men to prepare the way of the Lord, even so today when He has a work to be done, He seeks for a willing servant.

    THERE WAS A MAN SENT FROM GOD “There was a man sent from God, whose name was John. This man came for a witness of the Light, that all through him might believe. He was not that Light, but was sent to bear witness of that Light. That was the true Light which gives light to every man coming into the ...read more

    Conformation And Transformation

    Contributed by Kenneth Trent on Nov 20, 2002
    based on 26 ratings
     | 6,569 views

    The world wants you to conform to its thinking and its ways but what is needed is a transformation achieved through the new birth experience. Once achieved, we are to strive to be conformed to the image of His Son.

    CONFORMATION AND TRANSFORMATION “And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God.” Romans 12:2 I. Worldly conformation…the “ easy and popular way” “Enter in at the narrow gate; ...read more

    And Enoch Walked With God

    Contributed by Kenneth Trent on Nov 20, 2002
    based on 36 ratings
     | 7,667 views

    To be able to walk with God one must know who He is and to walk humbly before Him. Enoch’s translation without seeing physical death is typical of the translation of living saints which will occur at the rapture of the church.

    “AND ENOCH WALKED WITH GOD” “And Enoch walked with God; and he was not, for God took him.” Genesis 5:24 I. "And Enoch walked with God". One cannot walk with God without first having a true knowledge of who He is, what He demands and what He desires of us. 1. Who He is: The Almighty God who ...read more

    Just like weeds in our garden tell us something, weeds in the kingdom of God do also; these are attitudes and actions that can destroy lives. What are weeds & Why Control Them?
