     | 2,437 views

    The more you look to the Lamb, the more you understand His all-encompassing sacrifice, the more you will grasp the greatness of God’s grace and mercy.

    This month, we began studying the Gospel of John. John most likely wrote this Gospel around 70 AD, about 40 years after Jesus Christ walked the earth. John was an eyewitness of Christ’s life - His love and holiness, His justice and mercy, of all the miracles and healings - an eyewitness of the ...read more

    These giants in the church keep the movement of God to a minimum. We miss opportunities of the sovereign move of God because of the Giants Of: Pride, Hypocrisy, Intimidation, Greed

    Our God Is Greater

    Contributed by Christopher Benfield on Dec 15, 2019
     | 12,449 views

    John declared that the God within us is greater than the god of this world. Paul revealed that if God was for us, who or what could possibly come against us? These two statements reveal attributes of God that complement each other, and provide comfort and assurance for believers.

    Our God is Greater 1 John 4:4; Romans 8:31 Today I would like to conclude the series dealing with profound statements in the Bible by actually considering two statements from different Apostles. These two statements are personal favorites, having brought much comfort to my life over the years. ...read more

     | 802 views

    Jonah’s disobedience brought untold troubles on all the crew aboard that ship. The church too must be wary of those who are divisive and must strive hard to maintain unity, integrity continuing in prayer and being obedient to God.

    We read in Jonah 1:11, Then they said to him, "What shall we do to you, that the sea may be calm to us?" For the sea was raging and growing more tempestuous. (AFV) The events that preceded this verse were that the ship on which Jonah voyaged was faced with a severe tempest. The mariners ...read more

    What did Jabez expect from God when he prayed? What did he receive from God? Examine with me the prayer of Jabez and how his example of faith can help increase our faith.
