     | 2,461 views

    Presumption says God’s timing or His knowledge is insufficient and I’ve got to do something to fix the problem. But there is another form of pride… DESPAIR. Despair says waiting on God is a fool’s wait. God will not fulfill His promises.

    based on 1 rating
     | 3,769 views

    This message looks at four different types of partiality that take place in churches: Class, Geographic, Racial, and Denominational discrimination. Prejudice in the church displeases the Lord, it is unjust and a complete travesty!

    Last Sunday was recognized on the SBC calendar as Racial Reconciliation Sunday, and so I want to share something applicable today. I’ve entitled our message, “Do You Show Partiality?” and this is actually a question for each of us here today. According to Noah Webster, in the 1828 American ...read more

    Satan’s onslaught against the Word of God is constant. He is always twisting and manipulating, trying to get us to doubt what the Lord has said. In addition to attacking the Word, the devil will bombard us with testing and trials.
