The Greatest Blessing For Our Family

Contributed by Robert Webb on Jun 30, 2018

Our children need to realize they have great potential and value. We must love our children for who they are and that is exactly the way God shows his love for us.

I suppose every parent here today can relate to the question, at some point, what does the future hold for my child? In fact most parents worry about it more than our children do.

Blessed To Bless

Contributed by Barry O Johnson on Mar 29, 2023

Our Heavenly Father has blessed us so that we can bless others in the same way.

I love the book of Ephesians. Well, I guess you could also say that about Philippians and Colossians because, oftentimes, I read these epistles together in one sitting. As I laid in bed recently, I heard the latter part of Ephesians 1:3 being rehearsed in my mind. Holy Spirit had put the verse on ...read more

Remember What God Has Done

Contributed by Barnabas Park on Jan 8, 2021

Our spiritual battle has to do with our memory. If we remember who God is and what he has done then we will overcome. But we tend to forget what we have to remember.

Seeing Jesus Through The Eyes Of David Series

Contributed by T.j. Conwell on Jun 19, 2023

Are we living in a way that represents His glory and His suffering for others to see and be encouraged by? Or, are we living in a way that detracts from what Jesus has done - so much so that we cannot be effective witnesses for His grace and love?

The Need To Be Filled With The Holy Spirit

Contributed by Mike Hullah on Mar 11, 2018

The Holy Spirit isn't just an "add on" to our lives, He is a necessity. He transforms believers to "Christians" - little anointed ones! Just as we spend time occupied in relationships with others, work, or tasks, we need even more to be "occupied" by Him.

The Need To Be Filled With The Holy Spirit Acts 2:1-4 When the Day of Pentecost had fully come, they were all with one accord in one place.2 And suddenly there came a sound from heaven, as of a rushing mighty wind, and it filled the whole house where they were sitting.3 Then there appeared to them ...read more
