The Heart Of The One Whom God Prospers Series

Contributed by Jason Pettibone on May 14, 2007

there is something more fundamental to becoming a person with a blessed life even than having a dream. It is something called, ‘heart!’ Obviously I’m not talking about the fist-sized knot of muscle in your chest that pumps the blood through your body!

Last week, my intent was to convince you from the Scripture, of this fact - “God loves to bless His children!” We defined blessings, not so much in terms of the normal measures of worldly success - being wealth, fame, or beauty. These are certainly desirable, but God loves to bless us with things ...read more

Turning Whiners Into Winners Series

Contributed by Rick Duncan on Oct 1, 2002

In this message, we’ll learn how simply building a dream team to rebuild something that’s broken isn’t enough; we must anticipate the trainwrecks that can create whining, foster a losing attitude, and derail the rebuilding project.

Whiners never win and winners never whine. Turning whiners into winners Series: Here’s hope: Rebuilding a ...read more

The accuser will try to use anything he can to diminish your hopes and dreams in your life, including the ones around you, but the fact is this, Other people don’t set the limitations and parameters for your life, you do.

What Prosperity Gospel Preachers Don’t Want You To Know Series

Contributed by Jim Butcher on Apr 22, 2019
