    based on 44 ratings
     | 26,861 views

    God’s favour means He uses the ordinary, involves adversity, requires obedience, gives us purpose, and provides hope.

    Introduction We’ve all done someone a favour. And we’ve all asked for favours.

    based on 41 ratings
     | 13,656 views

    based on 14 ratings
     | 7,350 views

    Purposeful Generosity May 22,2005 Intro: Today we are going to be talking about a subject that makes many people uncomfortable. We are not talking about sex or divorce or gossip.

    based on 73 ratings

And then when asked why she did it, she said God told her to. A man in California is accused of murdering his pregnant wife and throwing her and the ...read more

    More often than not our basis on whether or not a person is a ‘good friend’ is the contemplation of inevitable ensuing requirements that may be placed on us.

    What are friends for? (Romans 5:7) For scarcely for a righteous man will one die: yet peradventure for a good man some would even dare to die. More often than not our basis on whether or not a person is a ‘good friend’ is the contemplation of inevitable ensuing requirements that may be placed ...read more

     | 55,008 views

    The marks of a mother are not only the requirements for a godly mother, but also what makes them so special, and worthy of our love and appreciation.

    The Marks Of A Mother Text: Ex.20: 12; Isa.49: 15 Intro: The term “mother” is indicative of one who is more than merely a parent. In fact, “The commonest fallacy among women is that simply having children makes one a mother—which is as absurd as believing that having a piano makes one a ...read more
