     | 2,287 views

    I Am the Resurrection and the Life (John 11:1-45, esp. 11:25-27) We have all been shocked by the shooting at an elementary school in Texas. We cannot imagine how anyone could be so evil.

    Don't Walk Away From An Answered Prayer

    Contributed by Donald Whitchard on Jul 12, 2022
     | 2,376 views

    We tend to pray for the salvation of someone we know, or for a job, or for the return of the LORD, or some other issue, and He answers it in a way that either we don't expect or like. Let's not forget that God is in charge. His will overrides our ideals.

    I want to share with you an insight that the LORD impressed upon me pertaining to prayer and how the LORD graciously answers our petitions and requests presented before Him. You are probably familiar with the saying that He answers our prayers three ways: Either "Yes", "No", ...read more

     | 4,914 views

    Looking at some people's past, they should have never produced a Joseph. In our society, most people with Joseph's backgrounds are killers, jail birds, drunks, addicts, etc. But God’s Destiny on your life can be fulfilled even in the midst of thorns.

    Ark, Anger, And Acceptance

    Contributed by Joseph Smith on Feb 20, 2010
     | 5,671 views

    We who are successful want instant gratification, but must know that God’s timing may be different, and that it is important to do something that enables others to succeed. In prayer we learn that we are accepted and so our efforts have meaning.

    Success brings with it its own set of problems. If you get used to being successful, you soon expect it, and then if it eludes you, that can be very hard to take. I know that I am speaking this morning to reasonably successful people, by and large. Most of you, when you face a challenge, are able ...read more

The revelation of the difference between waiting for the Lord and waiting upon the Lord is the attitude with which we wait. There is waiting and ...read more

     | 433 views

    We are in a critical hour—an hour when the true worshippers must rise and seek the face of God. Revival will not come to those who are passive, distracted, or indifferent.
