    In order to receive the promises of God, we must be in the correct position to not only see the promises as blessings, but to receive them for the benefit of those we disciple.

    All the promises of God (in Jesus) are yes and (in Jesus), are amen. What God is about to do for you, He's already approved. This season is not for you to continue praying and asking God about the same things...His answer is already, "yes." Lord, can I...yes. Lord, is it possible...yes. Lord, ...read more

    Today we will talk about how God has designed each of us in our own unique way. We will discover that sometimes we have to search for purpose before we can live it and we will talk about “Playing in the Sand”.

    ¥ I use everyday life illustrations because I want us to understand that God is trying to communicate with us everyday! There is a message from God in almost everything that we see, touch, taste, smell or feel. God is everywhere just waiting for His creation to cry out for its Creator! Psalms 19:1 ...read more

    Will The Real Proverbs 31 Woman Please Stand Up Series

    Contributed by Mark Gomez on Jul 11, 2012
    based on 4 ratings
     | 26,140 views

    Getting away from the creation of an impossible woman, in this study we discover that the woman in Proverbs 31 is real and she is everywhere. She is not beyond reach for other women and she is not meant to be a threatening creature.

    The Proverbs 31 woman can be a threatening and foreboding creature. Perhaps that is why so many women have attacked and denied her reality (rejection). Perhaps that is why so many men have held her up as some standard by which all women should be measured (oppression). But the reality is that she ...read more

    When we focus too much on what happened in the past it becomes hard for us to see what God is doing in the present and is leading us in the future.
