Jesus On Trial

Fill Me Up God

Contributed by Charles Jones on Feb 24, 2018

When we cry out to be filled and ask for more of Him, and as we give more of ourselves, it actually becomes as a “vortex” in the spirit. What I mean by that is that as we ask for more, at the same time God is asking for more of us.

Fill Me Up God John 7:37-38 What do you expect to happen when you come to God’s house? When was the last time you came to God’s house expecting something to happen? When Your Expecting Something it means that you are looking forward to, anticipating something, to look forward to the ...read more

Who Do You Want To Be? (John 20:1-18) Series

Contributed by Garrett Tyson on Apr 14, 2022

We see three different responses to Jesus' resurrection. And those three force us think about how we should respond to the reality that Jesus has risen, and ascended.

America Needs The Truth!

Contributed by Jeff Taylor on Dec 13, 2022
