    "Game Over"

    When Jesus died on the cross he said, "It is finished" meaning in our language today game over. Jeus by dieing defeated many foes such as condemnation, death, and the law.

    It is okay to be discouraged when working for the Lord. It is not okay to be defeated. How can we as servants of the Lord maintain our enthusiasm and continue with our efforts when we work for the Lord.

    What’s the Point? 1 Corinthian 15:58 Do you ever get discouraged? Do you ever get to the stage that you cry out to no one in particular, but to everyone, and say “What’s the point!” Have you reached that moment in time where you just wonder “Why bother?” I ...read more

    The defeated nation, Judah, is without hope or strength, and has its teeth broken by gravel. There is prayer for God to remember. We see a contrite spirit being expressed by a people without strength and hope, where peace is rejected, and in affliction.

     | 10,947 views

    An Acrostic message. Hopefully, this will help you to remember the key points. We will be spelling the word, "Praise." The means by which God has given to us to defeat the evil in this world is with our "praise."

    based on 1 rating
     | 8,278 views

    Paul final instructions to the Corinthians are too frequently neglected in the rush for self-fulfillment in this day. The Apostle would urge modern believers to embrace these instructions or face defeat before the enemy of the soul.

    1 CORINTHIANS 16:13, 14 NEGLECTED INSTRUCTIONS “Be watchful, stand firm in the faith, act like men, be strong. Let all that you do be done in love.” A fusillade of commands at the conclusion of most of his letters is a mark of authenticity for Paul’s letters; and this first letter to the ...read more
