    Satan’s Limitations: Satan Is Not Omnipresent Series

    Contributed by Jenny Franklin on Sep 12, 2022
    based on 1 rating
     | 5,176 views

    Job 1-2 reveals Satan’s limitations. Satan is not God’s equal opposite. Satan isn’t omnipresent (everywhere), omnipotent (all-powerful) or omniscient (all-knowing). This session’s focus - Satan isn’t God’s Equal, Satan isn’t Omnipresent.

    **************** Job 1-2 gives us some remarkable information about Satan. Job reminds me of Revelation in that the scenes go back and forth between spiritual and physical. In both books of the Bible, we see scenes in the spiritual realm in Heaven and the resulting physical ramifications on ...read more

    Why Do You Believe In God?

     | 1,597 views

    If someone asks me, "Why do you believe in God?" I don't necessarily say "I just have faith."

    If someone asks me, "Why do you believe in God?" I don't necessarily say "I just have faith." Many might say that. But for someone who asks that question, I need to know how to defend my faith. So my response is this: I think it's very reasonable to believe in God. ...read more

    Dare To Live As A Chosen Child Of God Series

    based on 4 ratings
     | 15,187 views

    If you are in Christ, if you have repented and accepted Jesus as your Lord and Saviour then the Bible is clear about who you are. You are a Chosen Child of God. As children of God, we must dare to be different in our words, our deeds and our actions.

    We continue in our series Dare to be Different and this month our focus is different family. Its been a while but I want to start with a couple of questions: Do you know who you are? Do others know who you are? Maybe the questions seems a little odd... I mean each of us knows who we are don’t ...read more

    How To Grow God's Kingdom

    Contributed by Craig Condon on Jul 22, 2015
     | 7,108 views

    We, like the disciples, are expected to bear fruit by spreading the seeds of faith-namely, the Good News of salvation-and nurture it as best we can. Then, we have to let God go to work. God will eventually reap the harvest and save those who hear His word

    The Gospel reading from Mark 4:21-34 is a series of parables about the kingdom of God. Jesus used parables to explain the kingdom because the kingdom is so vast that our limited human minds can't understand it on our own. Jesus used these parables to explain the kingdom in terms that we, the ...read more

    Words: Consider The Source Series

    Contributed by Ed Vasicek on Aug 31, 2021
     | 2,001 views

    Seriously, though, there is a difference. God’s Word has power to propel us through life in Godliness, the word of man has some power, and the word of agitators can have a good dose of negative power. When it comes to words, we need to consider the source.

    Words: Consider the Source (Proverbs 29:18, 19, 21, 22) 1. None of us doubt the power of words. This story illustrates it. 2. A group of Frogs were traveling through the woods, and two of them fell into a deep pit. All the other Frogs gathered around the pit. When they saw how deep the pit was, ...read more
