    God needs our faith to move in our lives. In this message, we examine four passages in the New Testament that show how the person's faith enabled Jesus to move.

    Many of us say we are living by faith but we are not getting faith results. How can that be? We say we are living by faith and when we pray the reason for our prayers remain unchanged. How can that be? Could it be, ladies and gentlemen, and I mean no disrespect, that we have been taught a faith ...read more

    The Wisdom Of Silence

    Contributed by James Dina on Aug 15, 2020
     | 8,491 views

    It is a great part of prudence to know when to be silent and when to speak. If you have nothing good, true or useful to say, it is better to be silent and say nothing. You have two ears and one mouth—use them proportionately.”

    Jesus gave the ultimate commentary on the Old Testament law, yet it is not very well understood in the Christian community. In this the first of several sermons, we will explore the law and the Christian.

    Encouragement means coming alongside and inputting courage. Where courage has faded away, encouragement is the putting back or refilling of courage. The leaders of the early church gave one man, Barnabas, the nickname "Son of encouragement".
