    Just because things don’t work out exactly like we planned, doesn’t mean that God’s not at work in our lives. We must persevere, because "It ain't over until God says it's over!"

A woman used her GPS mapping program to get to her accountant’s rural house and ended up far out in the country, lost & in the wrong spot. 2. She finally drove back to the highway on ...read more

    God has a lot to say about leaders, their behavior, their integrity and their resulting impact on the people they rule. The Bible is a warning and a guide concerning corrupt leaders and our response and duty when faced with the likes of such leaders.

Maughmer, Jr. OPENING: - This week while watching the news the one thing that stood out to me among all the chaos and buffoonery and the blatant ambush on the Military Hero the Ukrainian President Zelensky was when the President of France Emmanuel Macron ...read more

    What is your favorite picture of Jesus? Most artists have portrayed Jesus as kind and gentle, or as God’s suffering servant. In the Gospel Lesson for today we have an example of a time when Jesus’ face most certainly didn’t look the way artists most often picture him.

    What is your favorite picture of Jesus? If you were to close your eyes and bring to mind your best loved drawing or painting of Jesus, which one would it be? Perhaps you would recall one the many images showing Jesus as the Good Shepherd. That has been a favorite among Christians for ...read more

    Parable of the Widow and the Unjust Judge teaches persistence, faith, and prayer, with a promise of God’s ultimate justice.

    Contributed by John Gaston on Jul 15, 2022
    based on 1 rating
     | 4,524 views

    We should expect to be healed because God is a healing God, the Garden of Eden shows God's perfect will is no sickness, Christ atoned for our healing, and Jesus regularly healed the sick and called others to do the same.

    DIVINE HEALING IS GOD’S WILL Mt. 4:23-24 INTRODUCTION A. HUMOR: THE REAL CHARACTER 1. It’s wild to see the real nature come out. 2. 2 ladies went out to a restaurant to eat lunch They know how big the portions are so they order only one dish of ‘fried fish pieces’ which they intend to share. ...read more
