Contributed by James Parker on Oct 19, 2011

In The Palm Of Your Hand Series

Contributed by Gordon Pike on Feb 6, 2022

When you hold the Bible in your hand, you’re not just holding a book. When you open it and read it, you’re not just reading words. You’re not just taking in information. You are taking in life … still warm from the breath of God.

I want to start out with two true stories this morning and I want to ask you what you notice is common to both stories and what is missing. Ready?

Isaac: The Child Of The Promise Series

Contributed by Brad Beaman on May 30, 2022

The Altar at Bethel The LORD appeared to Abram and said, “To your offspring I will give this land.” So he built an altar there to the LORD, who had appeared to ...read more

Acts 16:19-28 NKJV “At Midnight” July 3, 2022 Minister Smith taught me in Hour of Power one Thursday afternoon about a man named Horatio Spafford: In the Great Chicago Fire of 1871 he lost everything they owned and made plans, to move to Europe.
