Faith Is The Victory Series

Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Sep 15, 2021

New Year's: Some things in life might feel like running a marathon when we’ve never run a mile before. We might feel this way about our New Year’s resolutions, or even our walk with the Lord. Faith can help us push ahead.

The hymn writer John H. Yates said, “Faith is the victory! Faith is the victory! Oh, glorious victory, that overcomes the world.” In athletics, many things are touted as helping win the victory, from sports drinks to athletic wear. But can that NIKE swoosh really do anything?

The Day Of Visitation (Palm Sunday 2019)

Contributed by John Williams Iii on Oct 26, 2022

Contributed by John Gaston on Nov 9, 2022

The Veil Torn

Contributed by David Dunn on Sep 12, 2025

When Jesus died, God Himself tore the temple curtain from top to bottom—forever removing every barrier between His holiness and our hearts. The way into His presence is wide open, not by our efforts or rituals, but by the finished work of Christ.

Introduction – A Wall Comes Down, A Veil Is Rent Down I still remember the summer of 1964 when our family crossed from West Germany into East. We were crammed into a Volkswagen bus—my parents up front, four sisters and two brothers jammed shoulder to shoulder. The youngest, little Sarah, was still ...read more
