    The famous Baptist pastor D.L. Moody used to say, “Some day, you will read in the papers that D.L. Moody of East Northfield is dead. Don’t believe a word of it! At that moment I shall be more alive than I am now!”

    Subject: God’s Answer For The Dead Situations Of Life

    Contributed by Otis Mcmillan on Aug 14, 2025
     | 578 views

    In Ezekiel 37, speaking a prophetic message to dry bones means to actively declare God's word and promises over seemingly hopeless situations, believing that God can bring life and restoration where there appears to be none.

    Subject: "God’s Answer for the Dead Situations of Life" Text: Ezekiel 37: 1-14 “The Lord took hold of me, and I was carried away by the Spirit of the Lord to a valley filled with bones. He led me all around among the bones that covered the valley floor. They were scattered everywhere ...read more

    GOD IS STILL GOD! Despite all the arguments of atheists, all the denials of some scientists, the opposition of governments, and the mocking of the “learned,” God is still God. He overthrows nations and sets up gov’ts who will uphold His order.

    HE’S STILL GOD! Mic. 7:18 INTRODUCTION A. HUMOR: Better Offer 1. At a wedding rehearsal, the groom said to the minister "I'll make a deal with you. If during the vows you'll leave out all of that love, honor and obey stuff, I'll give you a hundred dollars. "He slipped a ...read more

    We live in a world where ‘good news’ usually means your phone finally connected to Wi-Fi. But the Gospel is the original good news—and it’s far more life-changing than a strong signal.

    Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Sep 24, 2025
     | 219 views

    Pleading with God to remember, is what Jeremiah fell back to, and this persevering prayer is examined. Reproach overtook the people as they lost everything and were despised. Today we see the same in so many African nations where believers suffer for Christ. A touching message.
