    Despite Rahab’s immoral lifestyle and sinful past, God so radically changed her life that she is not only mentioned in the greatest genealogy ever recorded, but also made it into God’s Hall of Faith. Rahab got serious about her faith, and it changed the world.

    When you are knocked off your feet, blind with tears or pain or even a light like the one Paul saw, the first thing to do is seek God.

    This has been a bad week. It started with one of the worst tragedies that has ever hit our country.

    Contributed by James May on Apr 10, 2022
     | 5,244 views

    A sermon preached on Palm Sunday. Israel missed the hour of her Visitation with God as they rejected Christ. Let us not miss our times of visitations but be prepared for his coming, both in our hearts, at the rapture and at his Second Coming as the King of Glory!

    Today being Palm Sunday, we always reflect upon what it really means. 1,989 years ago, a young Rabbi named Yeshua sat on the summit of a mountain looking down over the city of Jerusalem and lamented deeply in his heart for the condition of the people that he had come to try and save from the ...read more

    In Chicago a few years ago a little boy walked to Sunday school every Sunday. When his parents moved to another part of the city the little boy still attended the same Sunday school, although it meant a longer distance to walk.

    A friend asked him why he went so far when there were plenty of other churches near his home. He said, “I attend my church because they love a fellow over there.” If only we could convince the world that we loved them there would be fewer empty pews in our churches. A TRUE DEFINITION OF LOVE. ...read more
