    based on 4 ratings
     | 3,193 views

    Repentance is part of the salvation song of God’s people. God has graciously left the door open for us to come home. But to get back we must turn back and continue to make corrective adjustments in our walk with the Lord.

    Luke 13:1-9 Consider a few verses that speak of the call and gift of repentance: Isa 30:15 This is what the Sovereign LORD, the Holy One of Israel, says: "In repentance and rest is your salvation, in quietness and trust is your strength, but you would have none of it.

    "What You Talkin' About, Jesus?"

    Contributed by Paul Ray on Aug 10, 2009
    based on 4 ratings
     | 5,565 views

    Throughout the Gospel of John you will find Jesus using simple, yet clever, analogies about wind, water, bread, wine, doors, shepherds, light, – etc. Each instance was a teaching moment - created by misunderstandings among His audience.

    Those Gentiles!

    Contributed by Greg Nance on Jul 27, 2013
     | 3,924 views

    We Gentiles have been granted repentance by God. This gift is of greater worth than anything this world has to offer. The early church was not excited to open the door of faith to us. What then shall be our response to God's gift of grace?

    What to do with those Gentiles!? Acts 11 records when the doors of the church swung wide open to every nation and Peter was called on the carpet for taking the first steps. We look at this today and wonder how they could have missed it. Did not Jesus himself commission them to go into all the ...read more

    People want blessings. They want renewal. But they are not often so willing to obey and to praise God who gives it to them. That’s why, sometimes, meetings that tell you how to be renewed and be filled in the Holy Spirit are packed to the doors ...

    Some people consider qualifications earned in conventional educational institutions like primary, secondary, polytechnic or university as the best platform capable of opening doors of greatness to any man. That may be true in some respects but not necessarily so in all circumstances!

    "For The Glory Of God" Series

    based on 1 rating
     | 11,861 views

    When Martin Luther hung his writings on the door of the church in Wittenberg, 500 years ago, everything in the church changed. This gave man a renewed purpose. Now all that we do is for the glory of God. It is all for God and God alone.

    “For the glory of God” It has been said that history repeats itself. Now I believe that to a point but I think that it is more accurate to say that people repeat the same mistakes in the same choices and the same decisions others have made before them and that’s why history repeats itself. Because ...read more

    God Answers Prayers

     | 7,344 views

    God has an avalanche; so many different kinds of answers to prayers in His hand. Even though there are uncountable number of people knocking at His door for answers, God never runs out of answers or gets tired of giving answers.

    An Avalanche of Answers One of the benefits of coming to God is that you can’t come to God and go back empty handed. When we come to God, we receive answers to our prayers. Psalm 65:2 says, “O You who hear prayer, to You all flesh will come.” Some other versions say “You who answer, to You all ...read more
