    He alone holds the power to turn around any difficult season or loss we may be facing, and bring great blessing and good through it all …

    Opening Thought: Often when things don’t seem to go right in this life, we start feeling like we’ve been left on our own. Pressures surround, troubles cling, we may be facing huge loss, or we find ourselves in long seasons of waiting. God’s timing seemed off during the 400-year gap between the OT ...read more

    An Invitation To Change

    Contributed by Otis Mcmillan on Jul 13, 2021
     | 7,224 views

    Change is difficult because we focus on the negative aspects of the change. We follow a wrong strategy. Yet Jesus offers each of us an invitation to change!

    Sir Isaac Newton’s “First Law of Motion” states “Everything continues in a state of rest unless it is compelled to change by forces impressed upon it!” I think we all recognize within ourselves the need for change. Yet we also recognized that the change we need is often hard to achieve. Change is ...read more

    Work is both fundamental and difficult, but with diligence, persistence, and the strength from God, we can approach it with a positive attitude and see it as a gift rather than a burden.

    Today, we're gonna chat about something we all have to deal with - work. Whether it's schoolwork, chores, or a part-time job, we all know what it's like to work. You know, work has been around since the very beginning. Even before humans were created, God was working. He set up this pattern of ...read more

     | 11,705 views

    Message teaches the practical application of the metaphor of armor in Eph. 6:10-17. Christians are in a spiritual battle simply because they are Christians. In an increasingly antichristian culture this teaching becomes even more essential.

    The title of this message is: Stand Your Ground! There are times and season when the devil’s assaults against believers are more intense than at other times. Scripture not only tells us to be prepared for such times, but also tells us how to be prepared. That’s our subject today. I am an optimist. ...read more

    The most important lesson you will teach your children is to learn biblical submission through the process of teaching them to obey. It is the primary spiritual lesson and foundation of parenting.

    THE IMPORTANCE OF PARENTING – YOUR KIDS NEED YOU It is my firm opinion that people do not know how to parent any longer. As a nation, the last generation of parents failed and now a new generation of parents is trying to discover how to do it with no role model, but only a broken home to look ...read more

    Sometimes in the face of difficulty we need some encouragement to stay the course. That’s what Paul gives us as we prepares for a very difficult time in his life.
