    Think about it, the creator of the majestic heavens is also the creator of man’s heart! Talk about reigning intimate in our lives!From God’s fixed place in heaven, He can powerfully fix anything broken in the human heart!

    It’s not clear who this writer is in Psalm 97, but we do know he is consumed with God being perfectly fixed in heaven! And all he can do is shout, “The Lord reigns!” Only God who is self sustaining and self sufficient can boast of these attributes! Have you ever thought of God as being so ...read more

    Celebrating the birth of Jesus is appropriate and good, but we must not forget the life-altering habits that should follow!

    Christmas Overflow (Luke 2:17-20) Unlike some of my previous Luke 2 sermons, this focuses primarily upon verses 17-20. 1. It seemed the whole world was waiting breathlessly for the birth of this baby. This baby is Prince George, firstborn son of Prince Harry and Kate, Duchess of Cambridge. It is ...read more

    The Man Is Out

    A perspective on Luke 24: 36b-48. Yes! Jesus is alive. He is out. Jesus continues to invite everyone to “Touch and see,” to be reassured that his presence is real and that his intentions for forgiveness are real.

    Luke 24: 36b-48 The Man Is Out A man was released from prison recently after serving his term. After many years in jail he still maintains his innocence. What a horrible thought to suffer lies and false accusations from people that one knows, and then spending many years in jail when one is ...read more

    Does Prayer Have Power?

    based on 5 ratings
     | 8,140 views

    Is there power in prayer or in the one that is prayed to?

    Many people think that prayer ‘works’ because there is ‘power’ in it, when in actuality the ‘power’ is found alone in the Creator God we pray to and who steps into every life circumstance to work it out for our best (Rom 8:28). Prayer is not some tool to move God or a weapon to use against the ...read more

    In spite of the fact that Prophet Elijah was one of the greatest spiritual giants of all time, he almost became a spiritual and kingdom dropout because of a combination of many factors. No matter what you're going through today, God's Word encourages you not to give up.

    "And he said, I have been very jealous for the LORD God of hosts: because the children of Israel have forsaken thy covenant, thrown down thine altars, and slain thy prophets with the sword; and I, even I only, am left; and they seek my life, to take it away." 1 Kings 19:14 (KJV).
