    Jesus is the Way, the Truth and the Life

     | 8,257 views

    The great apostle Paul refused to glory in anything other than the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ. The cross itself was not glorious, but the work of the cross accomplished by our Lord Jesus Christ is where Paul gave glory.

    GLORIOUS CROSS OF CHRIST Galatians 6:14 A. What is the most glorious thing in all the world to you? 1. One would say, “It would be glorious to have plenty of money.” Another, “It would be glorious too have political power.” Someone else, “It would be glorious to have a ...read more

    Harsh Words Series

    based on 8 ratings
     | 7,746 views

    Jesus tongue is a sword. His words are God’s words and they have power to heal or destroy. How do we handle hearing harsh words from heaven’s holy herald?

    Read or quote Mark 7. Does God’s word ever say something that bothers you? I dare say, if you have never had that experience, you must not be reading your Bible much! The word of God comforts the afflicted and afflicts the comfortable, does it not? God told Jeremiah, (23:29) "Is not My word ...read more

    Up Goes The Moisture, Down Comes The Rain

    Contributed by John Gaston on Apr 21, 2021
     | 4,142 views

    The Holy Spirit, and revival, have similarities to the processes of rainfall. Just as moisture must evaporate up before rain, so prayers & praise must go up. When heaven reaches the saturation point, you can expect rain!
