God Uses The Unexpected

Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Mar 6, 2022

Many times those who are underestimated and considered failures go on to accomplish great things in society. The same principle is true in the kingdom. The Lord oftentimes uses people who are rejected to bring glory to His name.

Once we are saved by grace through faith in Jesus Christ, and as we come to know the Lord by spending time with Him, we will reach a point in our life where our love will overflow in a desire for service. It’s at this place that many believers come to a screeching halt. They look at themselves ...read more

The Book Of Mark # 15

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Mar 30, 2022

The calling of the twelve disciples is significant. These twelve men were special in that they were chosen to be the twelve disciples that the Lord Jesus Himself was going to teach and train.
