    based on 4 ratings
     | 7,436 views

    If you want to be rich in the things that really count, don’t rely on yourself; rely on the Lord. Simply believe in the Savior and don’t boast about your sacrifices. Then you will not only inherit eternal life, you will be first in God’s Kingdom.

    Many years ago, a very wealthy man invited Pastor George A. Truett to a dinner on his Texas ranch.

     | 1,397 views

    The unimaginable happens. Peter denies his Lord. Peter should not have been in the court in the first place, and certainly not with the enemy, warming himself. Peter led himself into temptation. Failure can teach us valuable lessons and we look at overcoming temptation

    The Power Of Forgiveness Series

    Contributed by Nigel Heath on Jun 28, 2011
     | 12,060 views

    Forgiveness is first and foremost a matter between us and God rather than us and others. We are released once again into rich fellowship with our heavenly Father when we release others from their debt to us because God has asked us to.

    THE POWER OF FORGIVENESS INTRO This week we learned through the news media of the sentencing of three youths for the murder of Nachatter Singh Bola who was on holiday on Scotland and was killed by the intoxicated youths for a kebab takeaway he was on his way home with.

    Contributed by Troy Borst on Jul 8, 2006
    based on 19 ratings
     | 6,836 views

    You see, for those of us to desire to follow Jesus, similar to Simon Peter and the other disciples, it means that Jesus is the Lord of our lives. The Lordship of Jesus Christ is an important issue and doctrine in the life of each and every Christian.

    Miracles of Jesus: Fishin’ With The Lord Luke 5:1-11 INTRODUCTION... This miracle of Jesus comes at a time when Jesus is still calling the disciples to follow Him. In fact, this miracle happens before Matthew is even called to join the 12 disciples (he is called in Luke 5:27-32). So the ...read more

    If Christ is not His last name, what is it? It is a descriptive title & it tells us WHO Jesus is. And for us to understand what that means is very important because it can make a lot of difference in our lives.

     | 5,054 views

    Many people today are asking the question, “What is the definition of marriage?” At the same time they might wonder who sets the definition. Don’t you think that the One who designed marriage in the first place is the One who gets to set the definition?

     | 58,971 views

    There are four important things to know about basic training for disciples: A disciple never puts a stumbling block in others’ spiritual path; a disciple forgives quickly—and often; a disciple exercises faith; and a disciple demonstrates faithfulness.
