     | 1,169 views

    What attitudes were seen toward the resurrection? Some attitudes were understandable, but some weren't. What is your attitude toward the resurrection?

    This is Easter Sunday, an especially important day in the heart and lives of those who love the Lord Jesus Christ.

    Perhaps you have a calling; and yet, you haven’t heard from the Lord in a while and feel directionless. This message explores how the apostle Paul had to undergo both a three-year and a fourteen-year down-time consecutively.

    When you are down to nothing, God is up to something! - Barbara Franklin(1) Have you ever been assigned a task from the Lord, or been asked by Him to do something specific? Perhaps you’ve been called to pastor a church, become a missionary, attend seminary, or even start a new outreach in the ...read more

    Patience: Overcoming The Frenzied Life Series

    Contributed by Scott Maze on Feb 5, 2023
     | 2,509 views

    By a show of hands, are you by nature a patient person? If you were to assign a percentage to your level of patience, what would it be? Is anyone at 100% on the patience level? Let me encourage you today by saying this no one is born patient. For patience is a work of the Holy Spirit.

    When you see a patient person, you’ve seen something rare. For it takes supernatural power to be patient. We live in a world obsessed with speed. We become angry if the video doesn’t download immediately or the fast food lines take too long. And who likes waiting in a doctor’s office, or waiting ...read more

    There is perhaps no stronger theme in Proverbs than Wisdom itself. It starts and ends the book–like two bookends, it encompasses all in between. Let’s look at how Christians are to feel toward wisdom.

    "Bakit Hindi Sinasagot Ng Diyos Ang Aking Mga Dalangin? "

     | 11,392 views

    Doble kaming nagdasal, napakahirap, nang walang anumang mga resulta. Mayroong malaking katiyakan na naririnig niya ang bawat panalangin. Ginawa niyang maganda ang lahat sa oras nito. Kung mas mahaba ang isang panalangin, naantala, mas perpekto itong darating sa wakas.

    “Bakit hindi sinasagot ng Diyos ang aking mga dalangin? " “Kaya't sinasabi ko sa iyo, magtanong, at ito ay bibigyan sa iyo; maghanap, at makikita mo; kumatok, at ito ay mabubuksan sa iyo. ” (Lucas 11: 9) Manalangin kami, ngunit walang mga sagot. Doble ...read more

    A positive stewardship message.

    It is amazing to realize just how much our lives are impacted by the amount of money we have or think we have. It has a great impact on our self-esteem, on the kind of job we pursue, and how important we view ourselves in relation to others. For example, three boys in the school yard were ...read more

    Freedom Through Self-Denial

    based on 18 ratings
     | 14,993 views

    On the one hand, Jesus says "deny yourself, take up your cross and follow me." On the other hand Jesus says "I have come that they may have life and have it to the full." The message explains how is self-denial is a life "to the fullest".

    Today we’re going to look at a topic that is very personal. The scripture is from Luke 9:23 “If anyone would come after me, he must deny himself and take up his cross daily and follow me.” Just hearing these words is difficult. Putting them into practice seems utterly hopeless, unrealistic. We ...read more
