A Brief Glimpse Of Heaven

Contributed by Craig Condon on Oct 13, 2015

In order for us to understand the resurrection, we have to expand our ideas about who and what God is and what we can do. We can’t limit God with our own limited human reasoning. God continually surprises us. The future he has planned for us is glorious.

Jacob's Ladder Series

Contributed by Brad Beaman on Apr 13, 2022

Jacob the selfish man, whose life without God led him to desperation, reached a point where he needed the Lord. Often that is when God breaks through to a person. God spoke to Jacob through a dream. We call that dream, Jacob’s ladder.

As believers in Jesus Christ, we are called to be different. This difference can be seen very distinctly when we have a proper attitude in our giving to God. A generous spirit in giving is stark contrast in a selfish me first world. Jacob has an experience with God and he is changed. His name ...read more

Jacob Wrestles With God Series

Contributed by Brad Beaman on Jun 8, 2022
