    God is the Source of our Peace. God alone brings peace. Jesus Christ is the One who gives peace. Jesus said, “I am leaving you with a gift-peace of mind and heart.” The Supernatural peace of Jesus is His gift to us.

    Can anyone tell me the Hebrew word for Peace? (Shalom). Can anyone tell me the meaning of the word Shalom? When someone says, “Shalom,” the full meaing of it is, “May you have the highest good coming your way.” This month we are considering the Supernatural Stream of ...read more

     | 9,356 views

    In this passage James speaks to us about "human" anger and the moral filth of the world. He then compares the Word of God to a spiritual mirror that we need to look into intently if we desire to be spiritually presentable to God.

    Today, we’ll be taking a look at James 1:19-25 James 1:19-25 “My dear brothers and sisters, take note of this: Everyone should be quick to listen, slow to speak and slow to become angry, because human anger does not produce the righteousness that God desires. ...read more

    John 6:68-69(CJB) Shim‘on Kefa answered him, “Lord, to whom would we go? You have the word of eternal life. We have trusted, and we know that you are the Holy One of God.”

    Many people have been swept away by the book regarding the "Four Blood Moon" sightings we have seen lately. Many are stirred up and anxious. What should we do with such teachings when they raise their heads? We do what they did in the church in Berea!

Most of the talk was in response to a book by John Hagee which was based on the writings of another preacher named Mark Biltz. (Quote from the FBM book website) Every heavenly ...read more
