     | 7,611 views

    For a believer to have authority they need to be people of character. Elijah was an ordinary man like us fashioned into an extraordinary man by God. This sermon covers the basis of Elijah’s contrasting character in the days he lived an example to us.

    THE ELIJAH CHURCH CHARACTER DEVELOPMENT 1 Kings 17:1 And Elijah the Tishbite, of the inhabitants of Gilead, said to Ahab, “As the LORD God of Israel lives, before whom I stand, there shall not be dew nor rain these years, except at my word.” James 5:17-18 Elijah was a man with a nature like ours, ...read more

    Developing A Life Of Prayer

    Contributed by Brad Bailey on Sep 22, 2006
    based on 5 ratings
     | 2,856 views

    Prayer is at the very core of spiritual life. Despite how many people speak of praying as a part of their lives… I believe that a life that lives out of a center of prayer is challenging for most of us.

    Fires and earthquakes may serve to get our attention, taking our focus off the temporary things of this world… but the voice that we ultimately long for comes in quiet places. So it shouldn’t surprise us what we find the disciples of Jesus coming to him about in Matthew 6. They might have asked ...read more

    Feast of St. Matthew Sept 21, 2009 Caritas in Veritate The call of St. Matthew is, in a sense, the call of every Christian. We have looked upon human development as a call to grow the entire human person, and the entire human family, toward its full meaning. This is an integrated development of ...read more

    based on 15 ratings
     | 7,469 views

    Spiritual understanding is not produced solely by learning facts or procedures, but rather it depends on love for God & obedience to known truth. Obedience to God’s known will develops discernment between falsehood & truth.

    A message to challenge American Christians to change the way we see our country (USA), our church and ourselves.

    We have all had the experience of reading our Bible and having a verse, a phrase or even a word leap off the page and grab our spirit. When that happens, the Lord is obviously trying to tell us something. Recently, I have had that experience while studying, John 4. In verse 4, we read “But He ...read more
