The Capital Of Hell Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Apr 2, 2021

I want to call your attention to the fact that Jesus says in verse 13 that the throne of Satan was in that city. He ends the verse by saying Satan lives there. So here is the city where Satan lives, and where he has his throne. This is none other than the capital of hell.

Is there any truth to the popular idea that hell is right here on earth? There were a lot of Minnesotans who believed it in Jan. of 1873. The morning of the 8th was beautiful and the snow was melting. Masses of people made plans to travel, visit, and shop. But about 4 in the afternoon the wind ...read more

What Does Holy Mean? Series

Contributed by Jerry Cosper on Apr 13, 2021

There are several words in our “Holy vocabulary” that even Christians don’t fully understand. Taking a closer look at some of these Holy words to make sure that we fully understand them before we use them.

As I was praying over what direction God would have me to go, God brought my attention to the fact that, as Christians, we have a unique vocabulary.

Minister On Purpose Series

Dream Bigger!

Contributed by Lane Hastie on Jul 29, 2020

We serve a God who is infinite. He is all-powerful…all-knowing…completely capable. He is a God who’s power / ability / and love…knows no limits. YET…even though we know this and often declare it…we tend to limit the power of God. We Need To Dream Bigger!

DREAM BIGGER...DON'T LIMIT GOD! Limit: to restrict, to confine, to keep within a designated area, to fence in, hold back, to bind Example: Ever seen someone using a kid leash?
