God Is In Control Of You? Series

Contributed by Stephen Belokur on Sep 30, 2014

One famous preacher in history stated that, "that every particle of dust that dances in the sunbeam does not move an atom more or less than God wishes.” Meaning that God controls EVERYTHING. Period. Is that true? Let's examine the Scriptures together.

Is God in control of you? I mean, right now! Is He in control of you? There are people who believe that, yes, it is all God’s doing. Charles Spurgeon said, “I believe that every particle of dust that dances in the sunbeam does not move an atom more or less than God ...read more

We Have No King But Caesar

Jesus In Today's World

Contributed by Travis Voeltz on Apr 6, 2021

Many know the history of the Resurrection by this point in their lives… Jesus was denied, handed over to be crucified (John 19:16), beaten, shamed, clothes divided, bearing His own cross (Jn 19:17), and ultimately, they crucified Him (Jn 19:18).

Bathsheba A Mother Who Made A Difference Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Mar 19, 2021

You can bad-mouth her all you like, but God used this mother to change history in ways that no other mother has ever been used. God’s judgment is that being sexually assaulted does not make a woman a bad mother.

Everything you can say about mothers is true, no matter how good or how bad. But it is surprising when you discover that one who you thought was so bad turns out to be so good. Who would ever dream of holding up Bathsheba as an example of motherhood? Is she not the hussy who seduced David into ...read more

The Road To A Double Anointing

Contributed by John Gaston on Apr 2, 2017

Elijah & Elisha visited 4 places: Gilgal, Bethel, Jericho and the Jordan. Each one is highly significant in Israel’s history and I believe they are symbolic of key growth stages in Christ. Elisha had to complete each stage to gain the double anointing!

Contributed by Jeff Strite on Mar 3, 2019

The Lord is not "the shepherd" and He's not "a shepherd." David says He's MY shepherd. What does that mean for us?
