    based on 1 rating
     | 3,026 views

    When trying to start a new church, we often think we should send church planters to the largest populated areas. However, both John the Baptist and Jesus preached in the wilderness, and people came to them where they were!

The Lord can be found abiding – and alive and well – in small places; and it is very important for us to be reminded of this fact because of America’s belief that “bigger ...read more

    Introduction: The Bible tells us that "without faith it is impossible to please God" (Hebrews 11:6). The Bible says, "The righteous will live by faith" (Romans 1:17). That makes me think that faith is very important -- even vital. But what is faith? The Bible commands us to "stand firm in the ...read more
