Searching For The Faithful

Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Jan 30, 2022

God is searching for the faithful, as He wants to show Himself strong on their behalf. He is seeking those who realize that God is bigger than man’s limited wisdom; and He is seeking those who walk in obedience to His commands.

Faith begins where man’s power ends.” I’ve entitled our message for this morning, “Searching for the Faithful,” and it’s based on a verse often used in Scripture ...read more

Contributed by Scott Maze on Jun 9, 2021

Fast food restaurants ask you, “Would you like to supersize your drink?” Warehouse stores sell Costco and Sam’s Club offer us items in bulk – really big sizes. It seems like the only item in modern day life that hasn’t been upgraded is God.
