Contributed by Dr. Ronnie Grizzle on May 26, 2007

This message shows the gaps that are in the hedge or defense around the nation, based upon the gaps in the defenses around Jerusalem. This message shows the need for men and women of God to take a stand and call sin, sin.

The Hedge of God Ezekiel 22.23-31 (text—30) The main aspect of the ministry of Ezekiel was that of exposing the sins, the immorality, and the injustice of the people where he lived. This is not a very enviable assignment for a servant of God. We need Ezekiel’s today! We need men and women of ...read more

Living By Faith In Hard Times

Contributed by Marvin Walker on Jan 2, 2004

Leaning how to develop a strong faith during hard times.

War Of The Walls

Contributed by Joseph Smith on Feb 26, 2009

Just as God used two American generals to rebuild a wartorn world after WWII, so he used Nehemiah to build Jerusalem and will use us to rebuild our society and our church, despite the naysayers and those who say it cannot be done.

The Blind See, The Sighted Are Blind

Contributed by Owen Bourgaize on Oct 30, 2006

The miracle of a blind man receiving his sight addresses the Problem of Affliction and Healing and that criticism by the Pharisees brought out both negative and positive reaction.

There’s a saying that ‘There’s none as blind as those who won’t see!’ As Helen Keller said: ‘What would be worse than being born blind? To have sight without vision.’ It’s certainly true in the encounter that Jesus had with the Pharisees on the occasion when He healed a man who had been born ...read more

Walking With God Series

Contributed by Ajai Prakash on Sep 9, 2009
