My Heart Is Fixed In 2006. Series

Contributed by Jerry Gatson on Jan 19, 2006

A believer is to be like a tree planted near a river of water. We must reach deep to draw from the water of God’s written word while also reaching up toward the Son to hold on to a spoken word from God.

Believers trust in the Lord with all their heart and lean not to their own understanding. Believers believe! It sounds like a simple task but most people have been trained by ...read more

King Making - King Breaking Series

Contributed by Tom Fuller on Aug 12, 2007

Gideon shunned position but kept power, his son Abimelech had position but not power as both were ruled by the flesh and from the flesh reaped corruption. Learn how we can fall prey to that as Christians and how to avoid it.

Judges 8 and 9 give us a good picture of what happens when we decide to let the flesh rule in our lives instead of God’s Spirit.

Deuteronomy 7:9 Text "God, the faithful God" When we read this quotation we must understand that it is taken from 2 passages of scripture that focus on describing to us one of the 8 characteristics of God which is Faithfulness or Loyalty in Exodus 20 we read: (v.6) 1 God spoke all these ...read more
