Released From Fear

Contributed by Martin Ellgar on Jun 7, 2015

Jesus did not use violence to tie up the strongman in our house, in our self. Jesus knew that the only way to release us from fear, from the strongman in our live is love. Love conquers all. He works love in us to release us from fear.

Endurance Under Stress Series

Contributed by Brad Beaman on Feb 9, 2022

Does coming to Christ mean the end of suffering? Sorry, no it does not. To this, suffering, you were called. Christ suffered and left an example of suffering. We have great verses in 21-25 about what Christ’s death on the cross means. Christ suffered for you.

"ordinary People For An Extraordinary Calling" Series

Contributed by Donald Whitchard on Dec 31, 2020

In His early ministry, He preached in His hometown synagogue and nearly got Himself killed as a result (Luke 4:16-30). Wherever Jesus went, He either ...read more
