    The Power Of Prayer Series

    Contributed by Julia Cramer on Oct 30, 2021
    based on 1 rating
     | 6,407 views

    Prayer - the whisper of the soul, has four dimensions. The mystery of Prayer connects us to God; it is the glue that fastens our heart to God and focuses our mind on Him. Prayer is the breath of the soul in sync with the song of the Savior.

    The disciples were tired and worn out from ministry; however, Jesus challenged them to put aside their own needs to love and serve others. As a result, the disciples were refreshed and strengthened in an unexpected manner.

    The apostle Paul once informed the believers of Galatia, “For you, brethren, have been called to liberty; only do not use liberty as an opportunity for the flesh, but through love serve one another. For all the law is fulfilled in one word, even in this: ‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself’” ...read more

    God is looking to move us forward, when we keep trying to go backwards.

    We find here an amazing part of history. It is the story of two things happening. One Elijah being taken up into glory on one of God’s fiery chariots, and secondly we see the transferences of power and authority from one generation to the next generation. Here God is unmistakably teaching a lesson ...read more

    The Curse Of Sin - Part 1 Series

    Contributed by Dr. Bradford Reaves on Nov 17, 2021
     | 2,023 views

    Sin left a curse. God’s curse is the absence of His blessings and the fall of Adam and Eve is only one of two places in the Bible where God pronounces a curse (the other being on Cain). There is a greater reality we often fail to see and that is there is hope in the curse.

    The Tainting Scheme Series

    based on 2 ratings
     | 3,203 views

    Satan realizes that the Word of God is a mighty weapon in the “war against demonic terror.” Therefore, he taints the Word by adding to it, subtracting from it, or substituting his own defective formula, in order to deceive believers.

    Satan is very sly. Sometimes he tries to get you to question what God has said and to twist God’s words to mean something that is not true. - Tammy Melton(1) The Word of God is a powerful weapon against the devil. Proverbs states, “Every word of God is pure; He is a shield to those who put their ...read more

    Murder Mystery Series

    Contributed by Alison Bucklin on Nov 24, 2022
     | 1,377 views

    Anger is the impulse to strike out - either with words or with actions - at whatever threatens us, or threatens something we value. Anger is an impulse to destruction. Anger is in stark contrast to the commandment to love, which brings life.

    One could say we all have a hope meter inside each of us, the amount of hope we have in any given moment. Maybe my hope meter is at 100% full up, I’m centered on hope, this is where jesus wants me to be, in my mind and heart.

    Showing up at the first pastor’s job 3 years ago was pretty scary stuff. It was me, a cook, a caseworker, and a driver. That was it. New officer, scared, unprepared, hoping that somehow, he can make a difference in this crazy world. Not knowing a single person in the city, driving in late at night. ...read more
