    based on 4 ratings
     | 6,033 views

    We need to intercede desperately for people when God lays them on our heart.

    We’ve been looking at our Lord’s response to His disciple’s request to teach them to pray. Jesus shared a parable with them from which we discover three important truths about what kind of praying we must do. First, we learn that our prayers need to be daring. Daring in size, in stubbornness, and ...read more

    Four Special Blessings In Heaven

    Contributed by David Nolte on Nov 6, 2020
    based on 2 ratings
     | 8,383 views

    Heaven, a blessing in itself, is filled with blessings beyond measure, but here are 4 special blessings.

    We all prefer receiving blessings more than we enjoy being cursed. At least those among us who are not masochists who take pleasure in being hurt or punished. That holds especially true when we refer to how God works in our lives. I have never yet sought the Lord’s curse, but constantly request ...read more

    FAITH is a powerful thing, in fact it is one of the most powerful things on Earth, because without it, we could not have Christ. Today I want to focus on three instances of Radical FAITH. To me Radical FAITH is faith that compels one to do things you never imagined you could or would do.

    A Runaway Is Found, A Poor Decision Is Exposed, And Faithful People are Tested. Text: Genesis 16: 1-16 16 Sarai, Abram’s wife, hadn’t yet produced a child. She had an Egyptian maid named Hagar.

    Just as many of the people today in the Middle East and Central Asia, currently in the grip of one of the worst droughts in recent history, are desperate for rain, so the church needs to see its desperate need for a fresh rainfall from God.

    The tension between our quest for tranquility and the pressures of responsibility and loving others is an inexact science, but we must do our best to seek the balance, which may be different for each one of us.

    Our world is a mess...and human weapons don't work on supernatural problems. The problem is sin...and the answer is Jesus. We need revival.

    REVIVE US AGAIN! Talk for a moment about what "revival" isn't: A crowd doesn't mean a church is experiencing revival. Human charisma can attract a crowd. It's not something we can "schedule" or "produce" 1. We Need Revival Revival: restoration to ...read more
