    What do we do when we ask God for miracles and they fail to materialize. Do we conclude his is incapable or not there. Or is there a larger picture?

    Respecting authority is fundamental to life, it is God's blessing to those under authority and it begins at home. Remember there is no perfect parents. Accept, appreciate and affirm them.

    More About Obedience And A Good Day's Work Series

    based on 1 rating
     | 4,978 views

    We are also called to honor and obey our heavenly Father-this is the highest obedience. If obedience to parents or an employer, or a government, is contradictory to obedience to God, we have to make a choice. We must choose to obey God rather than people.

    Ephesians 6:1 Children, obey your parents in the Lord, for this is right. 2 “Honor your father and mother”—which is the first commandment with a promise— 3 “so that it may go well with you and that you may enjoy long life on the earth.”[a] 4 Fathers (Parents), do ...read more

     | 1,859 views

    It's a common complaint about pastors and churches: "All they ever do is talk about money." The reality is we rarely talk specifically about money. Both Old & New Testaments have a LOT to say about money and possessions. Let's hear Jesus' heart for us on the topic of money.

    The disciples look for the body of Jesus, but He is not there! He has already gone on ahead of them somewhere, just as He continues to keep moving beyond our reach!...
