Echoes Of The Flood Series

Barrier Of Protection

Contributed by Joel Bernardino on Dec 25, 2025

True Biblical Prosperity

Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Feb 9, 2022

Prosperity is not based on what we possess but on who we are inside, or who we are spiritually. Prosperity is not determined by a lack of hard times, but by how we handle tough situations; by whether or not we maintain our joy.

I have entitled our message this evening “True Biblical Prosperity.” If there is “true” biblical teaching on prosperity, then there must also be “false” teaching. Therefore, I am going to briefly address the false teaching that’s out there, and then point out what the Bible defines as true ...read more
