    In life there will be forces that seek to destroy, deny, or deter human and spirital potential, but the good news is that we serve a God who overcomes.

    Persistent prayer is commanded to us by Christ. If even the unjust judge will respond to it for bad reasons, how much more will the Father respond for good ones?

    Asking and asking again Luke 18:1-8 What is your prayer life like? How long can you pray without stopping? I am not talking about standard written or memorized prayers, I am talking about speaking with God concerning what is on your heart and working to remember everything that should be prayed ...read more

    When it comes to prayer, do you ever feel like you are talking away to God and the call gets dropped? What makes us lose the connection? Some lessions from the cell phone might help us in our prayers!

James 4:2 James 4:2 “…ye have not, because ye ask not.” (KJV) A 24-year-old man literally dreamed of the phone number of his future wife one night and then, driven by his instinct, sent her a text message.

    Evangelism 3

    Contributed by Stephen Belokur on Oct 16, 2013
     | 4,506 views

    What must we be prepared for when we share the Gospel of Christ? What examples do we have to look at in the Bible? How should these examples prepare us for whatever may come our way when we share Christ?

    Today as we talk about evangelism I want to read the entire chapter of Daniel 5 from the NLT. Daniel Chapter 5 1 Many years later King Belshazzar gave a great feast for 1,000 of his nobles, and he drank wine with them. 2 While Belshazzar was drinking the wine, he gave orders to bring in the gold ...read more

    Surrendering Credentials To Christ

    Contributed by Kerry Haynes on Mar 13, 2016
    based on 4 ratings
     | 6,946 views

    If we're not careful, we can get caught up in the world's system of polishing that pedigree. Rather, like the Apostle Paul, we need to surrender all to the great goal of knowing more intimately Christ our Lord. Everything else is secondary.

    Philippians 3:4-14 Surrendering Credentials to Christ Any top-blockers here? Any type-A personalities? Any hard chargers who consistently rank in the top percentile? The military is basically an up-or-out system, so it attracts into career service those who are driven to succeed. Many of you are ...read more

    Law Enforcement: To Protect And To Serve

    Contributed by Jeremiah Menyongai on Mar 14, 2016
     | 15,000 views

    There is a wind of confrontation blowing between law enforcement and the public in our society. There are some bad police officers, but a majority of them are good and out to protect us. Today, we invite them to worship with us and to pray for them.

    TO SERVE AND TO PROTECT Romans 13:1 Let every soul be subject to the governing authorities. For there is no authority except from God, and the authorities that exist are appointed by God. 2 Therefore whoever resists the authority resists the ordinance of God, and those who resist will bring ...read more

    based on 1 rating
     | 17,645 views

    A perspective on the parable Luke 16: 1-13; The parable of the shrewd manager. The story builds up to a bunch-line. What is the punch-line in this parable? It is the focal point for discussion and the opportunity for Jesus to bring healing into your life.

    A Perspective on: The Parable of the Shrewd Manager What is a parable? A parable is a story with the intent of informing the listener something about life. The parables that Jesus spoke compared earthly life to the Kingdom of God and the way to salvation. Many stories throughout the Bible ...read more

     | 3,252 views

    There is an interesting twist on why we do good deeds. Titus takes us into the action that Luke has introduced to us. God's action on those that act in obedience.
