The Gifts Of The Holy Spirit – The Gifts Of Power

Contributed by Imelda Mesa on Sep 27, 2022

when we think of power in the context of God, we think of God's nature, character, and abilities to make the impossible possible, to make great things greater and grander. When we think of God's power, we think of the acts of God!

When we think of power, we think of natural abilities to create or influence something, either good or bad. But, when we think of power in the context of God, we ...read more

Sermon # 33 - God Is Sovereign Series

Contributed by Andrew Dixon on Dec 11, 2024

The King of Nineveh humbled himself before God because he understood that God is sovereign. There are many others in the bible who recognized God’s sovereignty and submitted to His will. Only those who recognize and acknowledge God’s sovereignty can joyfully accept His dealings in their lives.
