    based on 5 ratings
     | 27,437 views

    There are times when there seems to be a disconnect between our walk with God and the outcome of our prayers. Sometimes circumstances can seem to contradict the fact that God is watching over our lives and guiding its events for our good.

    TITLE: DON’T BURY IT YET SCRIPTURE: II KINGS 4:8-37 A common precursor among new preachers when they want to preach about faith is to ask the congregation - “how many of you have faith?” • The question actually doesn’t make sense because there is no such thing as “people who have faith” and ...read more

     | 21,170 views

    In our text this morning, Jesus uses a strange illustration about demon possession to make a very important point about the problem of half-baked, external repentance. In this portion of the text, Jesus talks about an unclean spirit that has gone out of a person; but still seeking rest.

    TITLE: WHO’S LIVING IN YOUR HOUSE? SCRIPTURE: ST. MATTHEW 12:43-45 Have you ever tried to help a friend or family member that found themselves without a roof over their head and you reluctantly and against your better judgment allowed them to come and stay in your house until they were able to ...read more

    Coronavirus has caused many to question if God is not happy with this generation or to be afraid that God won't help us in this crisis. How wonderful is Paul's revelation and the ageless hymn of Horatio Spafford, "It is Well With My Soul!" Pass it on!
