    PROSPERITY GOSPEL: Some people today teach that having “God’s favor” means unlimited blessings. - This is true of prosperity gospel preachers, but it’s also true of a lot of American Christians who know a lot more about America than the New Testament. WHAT DID "FAVOR WITH GOD" ACTUALLY ...read more

    What Does It Mean That Christ "reconciled" Us? Series

    Contributed by Jim Butcher on Dec 9, 2018
     | 5,753 views

    Paul here uses an interesting and unusual phrase: "reconciled." What exactly does it mean that Christ has reconciled us?

    WHAT DOES "RECONCILE" MEAN? It is bringing two things into agreement. - 2 Corinthians 5:18-21. - The key word in this passage is “reconcile.” This is not a word that we use much in sermons or Bible study, but it’s a good Bible word and it has an important truth to teach us. This ...read more

     | 2,052 views

    Crises have long been a part of the human equation. During a crisis, it is difficult to know what to think or believe. The story of Job helps us to understand that we can affirm at least four truths during a crisis.

    1. In crises we can affirm that God is in control. Job 42:1-2 2. In crises we can affirm that God knows things we cannot know or comprehend. Job 42:3 3. In crises we can affirm that the crisis can help clarify our understanding of God, though it may take time. Job 42:4-5 4. In crises we can ...read more

     | 1,899 views

    Perhaps some had a disappointed look on their face as they peered through the crowd, catching a glimpse of a lone figure coming down the road. Rumors had spread as people calculated his next move. Yet, many were expecting to see him sitting tall and proudly astride a spirited war-horse. Instead ...read more

    Contributed by Wilson Oshorakpor on May 31, 2021
     | 1,512 views

    The Lord's prayer is one of the first prayer a christian learns to recite. It is a prayer guide given by Chris to his disciples. A careful consideration of it shows that it is much more than a prayer guide. It points us to who God is, from the mouth of his son.

    TEXT: Matthew 6: 9-13 "...Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread.
