    I would like to propose to you that walking in step with the Holy Spirit produces the lovely things of God, which everyone can choose to enjoy. Therefore, it is worthwhile to take time to gain a Biblical understanding of the nine fruit offered to every born again Christian.

    Title: His Desired Fruit Theme: Fruit of the Holy Spirit Introduction: Jesus said, "This is to My Father's glory, that you bear much fruit, showing yourselves to be My disciples."

    Effort Demanded

     | 3,770 views

    Faith plus Works produces miracles. It is not that God cannot work in any other manner, but generally, this is the method He chooses. So have a keen ear and be quick to do what He bids you to do. A miracle is just ahead if you will believe and obey.

    Esfuerzo Requerido (Effort Demanded) James (Stg.) 2:14-18 14 ¶ What doth it profit, my brethren, though a man say he hath faith, and have not works? can faith save him?

    Are You Auto-Correcting God?

    Contributed by Barry O Johnson on Mar 31, 2016
     | 5,464 views

    Smart phones have an auto-correction function that changes what you type even when you don't want it to. Christians often act like smart phones when they choose to believe something other than what God believes.

    Today we’re going to look at a warning related to altering the gospel. But this message will be just a little different and I hope to present it in such a way that it will cause you to think about it the next time you send a text message from your smart phone.

     | 5,691 views

    Why is money such a common topic in Jesus’ preaching? Could it be that our wealth is a test? Could the way we handle money reveal whether we choose heaven or hell for all eternity? Let’s discuss this and the Great Reversal in Luke 16:19-31.

    After reading the book of Acts the reader is left to ponder the question: would one say YES to such an impossible, dangerous mission of spreading the Good News to the lost of this world or would one choose to hide one’s light under a bushel (Matthew 5:15)?

    “You did not choose me,” said Jesus, “but I chose you” (John 15:16). Here, right at the outset of the letter is the whole doctrine of grace. “A MAN IS NOT WHAT HE HAS MADE HIMSELF, BUT WHAT GOD HAS MADE HIM.”

    God made Adam and Eve in His image and that’s why they also had the freedom to choose. Their choice had consequences for all mankind. Let’s learn how to make right choices, so we don’t miss out on the bountiful blessings God has in store for us.

    We read in 2 Corinthians 9:8, “Besides, God is able to make every blessing of yours overflow for you, so that in every situation you will always have all you need for any good work.” (ISV) God is able to make every blessing overflow for us, and though it seems like there is no evidence that God’s ...read more

    Are you feeling lonely, forsaken and wondering when God will intervene to bring deliverance from your hard situations? Here’s the good news! We have a redeemer, and He will never leave us nor forsake us.

    Loyalty: Do You Know Where Yours Is?

    Contributed by Kelly Durant on Oct 10, 2015
     | 8,692 views

    Time reveals a person’s loyalty. Today we must apply much precaution to whom or to what we are loyal to! Most people do not deeply reflect as to why, or from where, they get their loyal convictions to someone or something, be it a friend, sports team, political party, or a religion or church!

Kelly Durant 10-11-15 Matthew 6:24 No man can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other.

    In the first miracle in Mark 5, we see Jesus set free the man who was possessed by many demons. We see the sad reaction of the people of that region and learn the sad truth that some people choose the swine over the Savior. We also learn that everyone has a testimony.
