Sermons on Crying To God:

Doing A Slow Burn Series

Contributed by Joseph Smith on Jul 12, 2003

He was angry at Job because he justified himself rather than God; he was angry also at Job’s three friends because they had found ...read more

Part 2: The Refiner's Fire (Divine Refinement And Trust) Series

Contributed by Rev Emmanuel O. Adejugbe on Jan 20, 2026

Why does God allow us to walk through seasons where prayer seems unanswered, where Scripture feels distant, where we cannot sense His ...read more
