    based on 4 ratings
     | 1,390 views

    We need to trust God and let Him guide us. We need to focus on the future He has for us instead of dwelling on the past. God has a good plan for our lives, and His thoughts and ways are higher than ours.

    Today, we're talking about your future. Now, I know we all have plans, dreams, and goals, but here's the thing: God's got plans for us too, and they're way better than anything we could come up with. Think about it like this: Imagine you're trying to put together a 1000-piece puzzle without the ...read more

    We all carry worries and anxieties. Instead of keeping them to ourselves, we should give them to Jesus and trust Him to handle them.

    Let's be real. Some of us are sick of hearing about how great things could be. We want to believe, but we're not sure how. If that's you, I'm glad you're here. Remember these verses: Psalm 55:2: Give your worries to God and He'll take care of you. Matthew 6:25: Don't stress about your life, God's ...read more

    As followers of Christ, we are called to balance our earthly responsibilities with our heavenly ones, reflecting Jesus in our daily lives.

    You know how Jesus was a pretty cool teacher, right? People were always asking Him questions, but some of them had sneaky plans. They wanted to trap Him and get Him out of the picture. In our story today, some religious big shots tried to trap Jesus by asking about paying taxes. But Jesus, being ...read more

    Will Christians Go Through The Tribulation Period? (Ix) Series

    Contributed by Richard Tow on Mar 1, 2021
     | 4,586 views

    Matthew's prediction of the Abomination of Desolation is compared to Luke's account of the destruction of the temple in 70 AD. Rightly diving this portion of the Olivet Discourse is crucial to understanding end-time prophecy. The focus of this message is Matthew 24:15-31.

    Last week we examined the first part of Jesus’s Olivet Discourse in Matthew 24:1-14. In that portion of the prophecy Jesus told us the conditions that would exist during this current age: deception, wars, pestilence, earthquakes, persecution, etc. In verse 8 He uses the metaphor of labor pains ...read more
