    A Gentile woman had a daughter who suffered from a serious problem. Desperate, she went to find Jesus. What did He do for this woman, and her daughter?

     | 14,009 views

    There are times when we must rest in the unseen and believe the impossible by faith. Faith believes the impossible and trusts the Lord to meet our impossibilities. As we walk by faith on this level, great courage is also required.

    Series: Walking by Faith # 5 The Courage of Peter Matthew 14:28-32 As we continue our study of walking by faith, I couldn’t imagine a series dealing with this subject without looking at the account we have read today. Mark and John also record the account of Jesus walking on the water, but ...read more

    Contrary to popular belief, satan is alive and well. He is a real, personal being who, as a created cherub, sinned against God and subsequently fell from heaven.

    If we are going to live a life flowing with forgiveness to everyone with whom we come in contact, we must realize that *The battles we fight are spiritual. *They are not to be directed toward another human being. *They should be directed against the forces of hell. Because our ...read more

    The Devil Is A Boring Preacher

    Contributed by Michael Stark on Jun 23, 2009
    based on 4 ratings
     | 13,746 views

    The message of the preacher blessed by God will disturb the casual, even as it glorifies the Master. Contrary to every expectation, the message presented by the servants of the devil is boring, generating no excitement and no reaction.

    “When they had passed through Amphipolis and Apollonia, they came to Thessalonica, where there was a synagogue of the Jews. And Paul went in, as was his custom, and on three Sabbath days he reasoned with them from the Scriptures, explaining and proving that it was necessary for the Christ to ...read more

    On the contrary, we have illness to endure, uncertainty, angst, fear and delay lurking in every corner of our life. How do you survive those occasions?

    Some people think that Jesus never knew sickness or pain until the cross but that thinking is contrary to scripture. Jesus knows full well what it means to be human.

    Jesus from Baby to Boy Many people are fascinated with the life of Jesus but say there is a lack of information about his early years. I want to address that concern and show you we know more about Jesus early years than people think. What we need to remember is that the gospel writers were ...read more

    How many of the fulfilled desires from your past are still making you happy today? Is life just chasing after the wind, or is there a simple path to contentment?

    James 1:13-15, “When tempted, no one should say, "God is tempting me." For God cannot be tempted by evil, nor does he tempt anyone; but each one is tempted when, by his own evil desire, he is dragged away and enticed. Then, after desire has conceived, it gives birth to sin; and sin, when it is ...read more

    In an increasingly impatient world it is essential for the believer to continue in prayer and wait patiently on the Lord, in spite of the tendency to the contrary! The world may be in a hurry but God is always on time! Wait on Him!

    Be patient therefore, brethren, unto the coming of the Lord. Behold, the husbandman waiteth for the precious fruit of the earth, and hath long patience for it, until he receive the early and latter rain.
