    Trust Me

    Contributed by Derrick Tuper on Sep 8, 2015
     | 10,529 views

    Trust issues; many of us have them. Yet I think everyone trusts in something or someone. In God We Trust is written on our money yet ironically more americans trust in money than they do God. Let's see why trusting in God is the much wiser choice.

    TRUST ME In my last series, I focused on the places where Jesus said, “I tell you the truth”. But in order to accept what Jesus said we need to trust that he knows what the truth is. Jesus said to Pilate, “Everyone on the side of truth listens to me”, to where Pilate ...read more

    David did not kill Goliath - God did.

    We all face obstacles in life. Part of what makes life fantastic, exciting, worthwhile, and energizing is having a goal or a purpose or a call that is so worthwhile that we will fight through any obstacle, overcome any difficulty, literally “move any mountain” to overcome it.

    Contributed by Maurice Mccarthy on May 2, 2013
    based on 85 ratings
     | 70,738 views

    Bathsheba is probably one of the least likely people you ever thought of as a good example for mothers, but it is time you heard the rest of her story.

    Bathsheba, a Mother to Model This Mother’s Day I have chosen someone very different to speak on. In fact, in my research I have not found anyone who has ever chosen to use Bathsheba as an example for Mother’s Day, for some reason we are able to grant David forgiveness and restoration, but ...read more

    At what point did Peter start to sink into the water? The moment he took his eyes off of Jesus and started to think about what was going on around him and the way he was feeling about the situation that he was in! Right?

This is the way God wants you who belong to Christ Jesus to live. How many have ever heard the saying, “getting old is not ...read more

According to a 2003 survey by Barna research, 76% of Americans believe Heaven exists, 71% of Americans believe Hell exists, but only .005 believe that they will be sent there. So, while many people believe ...read more

     | 6,557 views

    How we talk and interface our will with the will of others says something about our Father in heaven. Our words, promises, and intents reflect on people’s view of God. God desires an accurate reflection of Himself in and through us.
