     | 223,685 views

    The more the power of God in your life, the more the enemies that will battle you. The greater the anointing, the greater the warfare. The brighter your destiny, the harsher your attackers.

    The Bible clearly reveals theaimsandobjectives of Jesus’ earthly ministry. In 1John 3:8, it says, “... For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that he might destroy the works of the devil.” One of the enemy’s works is affliction. This eye-opening message is loaded with power to turn ...read more

    Jesus drew from the same raw materials that He draws from today when He calls men and women to be His disciples. In this series, we are looking at each of the Twelve as in-depth as we can, based upon what we can know and discern from the Scripture.

    We return once again to the 10th Chapter of the Gospel of Matthew. We have been absent from this study for a time, so I want to review for a moment what we have discovered so far in this section of our study. We began looking at the men that Jesus commissioned that day to begin sharing the gospel ...read more

    Isaiah predicted the coming of Christ to a hard hearted king - even without his asking.

    Our chief purpose in being human is to love God with all our heart and soul and mind and strength. How can we do that after the fall? Through God’s power, through God’s Holy Spirit, given to all who have faith in Jesus Christ.

    What is it that God desires of us as men and women? Why has he made us in his image? What’s our reason for being here? There are probably a number of answers that someone might give to those questions. The Westminster Shorter Catechism asks: "What is the chief end of man?", then gives the answer: ...read more
