    “When Prayers Go Unanswered” Habakkuk 1:2 NIV 2 How long, O Lord, must I call for help, but you do not listen? At times it may seem that God has hides His face from us, when we don’t receive an immediate answer to our prayers. We pray, we pour our hearts out to God, we ...read more

    Contributed by Chris Swanson on Jan 8, 2023
     | 1,548 views

    Although the title to this message mentions a Tater Family, the passage of Scripture speaks about the servants working with the pounds. Do Christians of today resemble the servants in the Scripture?

    This is the story about the pounds. This story tells of a certain nobleman who received a kingdom, and it showed the followers of Jesus what they were to do during the time between when Jesus would leave and his Second Coming. The followers were to be unwavering and fruitful while he was gone. ...read more

After giving his most impassioned plea and really “selling” the idea to the elders, they voted down the preacher’s proposed changes 12-1. 2. The elder ...read more
