     | 14,041 views

    This sermon demonstrates how god still accepted us even though "Once Upon A Time" we use to be whoremongers, theives, liers, homosexuals, drunks, etc. He still gave us a chance to repent of our sins and to come back to Him.

One that comes to mind is the fairy tale called “The Three Bears.” Once upon a time there were the three bears. There was the father bear, the mother ...read more

    Compares Elijah’s time at the Brook Cherith with military boot camp and how God prepares us for service.

    When you say the word boot camp, the civilian and enlisted, retired and reserved all conjure up pictures of freshly shaved heads, dog tags, fatigues and, as Chuck Swindoll says, fatigue. It is through the doors of boot camp that an 18-year old from Kiowa, Kansas is shaped into a soldier by doing ...read more
