    As the power of God draws the heaven and the earth farther and farther apart, our main focus will be the love of Jesus to keep us closer together.

    Read Luke 13:1-5 Because of his love, the love of Jesus; he will forgive us of anything, for the reason that love is just what God says it is. God is Love. And we should focus only on his love, since this reveals who God is. He will forgive us of anything, but speaking a word against the spirit of ...read more

    Jesus teaches humility and tells of future hardships but yet the disciples argue who's the greatest!

    Let us continue to worship our God by continuing to learn from the Gospel of Mark; please open your Bibles to Mark 10…. We noted last week nothing is impossible with God but one must humble themselves before God. Look at v1 of Mark 10, a crowd of people came to Jesus, so Jesus taught them. In v5, ...read more

    How many times have I seen Christian at one another’s throat or after the minister because of something that displeased them?

    Moses was God’s chosen prophet to lead Israel but Israel often argued with Moses. They constantly found fault with Moses’ leadership skills. They constantly argued with Moses and had sharp criticism for everything he did. Moses was God’s chosen man for the hour but the Children ...read more

    Not all heretics are in pulpits or colleges. Many are in the pew as well. Don't be one.

    Rom_16:17 Now I beseech you, brethren, mark them which cause divisions and offences contrary to the doctrine which ye have learned; and avoid them. He is speaking of heretics who cause division through false doctrine. We must learn to discern and avoid false doctrine and those who teach it. We ...read more

    We can construct walls that isolate and insulate us. When we break down the walls God comes into our lives and we can see others as He does.

    1. Berlin Wall Under the cover of darkness on Aug. 13, 1961, a wire barricade was stretched the middle of Berlin. It ended up 28 miles long and became one of the most controversial boundary lines of the 20th century. It eventually became known as the “Berlin Wall.” It was the symbol of the border ...read more

    When Dry Bones Can Live Again

    Contributed by John Williams Iii on Mar 1, 2021
     | 14,600 views

    Symbolically, this vision is about the resurrection of Israel as a nation. The dry and disconnected bones represent how God’s people had been defeated, divided and scattered in exile. Only God can reconnect their bones, unite them and bring them back together as a country!

    WHEN DRY BONES CAN LIVE AGAIN Text: Ezekiel 37:1 - 14 Ezekiel 37:1-14  The hand of the LORD was upon me, and he brought me out in the Spirit of the LORD and set me down in the middle of the valley; it was full of bones.  (2)  And he led me around among them, and behold, there were ...read more

    Unity Of Believers

    Too many believers have been plagued by identity politics... Identifying oneself with a narrower description rather than what truly matters... Christian, child of God, follower of Jesus

    Christians, believers, disciples, followers, children of God, brethren, the church, saints, people of God and others… • Each of these terms are used in Scripture to describe those who belong to God • But not just belong to God, but belong to God through faith in Jesus Christ • Jesus is the unifying ...read more

    If the Church does not merge in truth and fight the devil then it shall die in division or at best be weak and useless to Heaven and earth.

    Mark 3:24  And if a kingdom be divided against itself, that kingdom cannot stand.  25  And if a house be divided against itself, that house cannot stand.  Speaking of satan, but it applies to the house of God as well. "Division is devastating to effectiveness." Tim ...read more

    Divided And Dying

     | 2,513 views

    The enemy has used divide and conquer to split the Church/Body and he is doing it well.

    "Division is devastating to effectiveness." Tim Dilena. Division in the Body has possibly done more damage to Western Christianity than heresy. That said, we cannot unite around anything but truth. Ten churches of like faith in a town or even ten miles away are a bar to ...read more

    Absaloms In The Gate

     | 2,853 views

    If indeed, God has given you new insight then use it for the sake of the Body and Christ not for your own devices or else you are an Absalom and in trouble with the Father and the Son. If you twist or deny Scripture you are in even deeper.

    2 Samuel 15:4  Absalom said moreover, Oh that I were made judge in the land, that every man which hath any suit or cause might come unto me, and I would do him justice! Absalom was a son of the King who thought he knew better than the King and swayed many to his side in a rebellion to remove ...read more
