    Believe In The Word Of God

     | 8,754 views

    Jesus says we are to believe in the written WORD of God. And by trusting in His word we have our breakthrough in Him.

    JOHN 1: 1 - 3 In the beginning was the WORD, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was in the beginning with God. All things were made through Him, and without Him nothing was made that was made. It's amazing reading this scripture and it's so powerful at the same time. ...read more

    Paul talked a lot about his faith and his Jesus because he knew who his God was. And what Paul did is something you and I can do... if we know God the way he did. What did Paul know about God that we sometimes don't?

    A farmer decided he knew as much as any doctor, so he opened doctor’s office in town. He charged $500 a visit, but he promised that if he couldn’t cure you he’d give you $1,000. The town’s regular doctor was offended by that and decided to expose him as a fraud, so He went to the farmer’s office ...read more

    You may have heard of a rather pompous-looking deacon who was speaking to a class of boys about the importance of living the Christian life. “Why do people call me a Christian?” the man asked. After a moment’s pause, one youngster said, “Maybe it’s because they don’t know you.”

    Confident That God Is Able

     | 3,418 views

    We can relate to Paul’s life in many ways. One of the ways we can relate to him is that He had GOOD DAYS, and BAD DAYS, and so do we.

    But one of the differences we see between Paul’s life and our life is that through all of his experiences, HE HAD GREAT CONFIDENCE IN GOD. We do not always have this confidence. Honesty compels me to admit that sometimes I can’t help but wonder if God made some big mistakes. • Sometimes from my ...read more

    As long as we live on this earth we will be confronted with various perils and dangers, which often fill our hearts with apprehension about the future. God’s word of assurance is that He will Himself be with us in the midst of all our troubles.

I will rescue them and honor them.” (GNB) As we continue our study on Psalm 91, we will meditate in depth on verse 15. While verses 1 to 13 are a dialogue between two ...read more

    How do we respond to the thorns that just won't go away? Paul gives a great example and encouragement in what to do.

    2.16.25 2 Corinthians 12:7b–10 (EHV) 7 I was given a thorn in my flesh, a messenger of Satan, to torment me, so that I would not become arrogant. 8 Three times I pleaded with the Lord about this, that he would take it away from me. 9 And he said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, because ...read more

    In the Old Testament God had given elaborate details that were to be followed by the Israelites in the way they worshipped Him. May our worship be acceptable to God and may we give Him the due honor and reverence knowing that our God is holy and awesome.

    We read in Joshua 8:30-31, Then Joshua built an altar unto the LORD God of Israel in mount Ebal, As Moses the servant of the LORD commanded the children of Israel, as it is written in the book of the law of Moses, an altar of whole stones, over which no man hath lift up any iron: and they offered ...read more

    Did you ever run into difficulty with those that are close to you? Did you ever think that you were the only one that this happened to. Well you are not alone, that same thing happened to Moses and the God’s Word can show light on why this happens.

    There have been many times that leaders have faced criticism from those that are closest to them. Just when things seem to be going right a left hook, out of nowhere puts things out of whack. There are many times that the leader looks to stop and give up. Others put on determination and ...read more
