God Is Love Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Mar 9, 2021

The implications of these three words are so vast that one message on them is like trying to harvest a million acres of corn with a comb. There is no way to get all of the infinite riches they contain, but we will at least get a taste of what this love is

Tolstoy wrote a story called "Where Love Is, God Is." It is about an old cobbler named Martin who lived alone. One night as he read the story of Jesus visiting the Pharisee, and the poor welcome he received, he prayed that the Lord would visit him. In his sleep he heard a voice saying, ...read more

Contributed by Perry Greene on Oct 30, 2016

This series is based on the movie, War Room. This lesson is a reminder of God's Expectation of our prayers. It is not, "If" but "When" we pray.

1. A few weeks ago I attended a conference put on by "Strategic Renewal." While I was there I purchased a T-shirt with the slogan, "Make the Church Great Again."

Prayer: God's Delays Are Not God's Denials

Contributed by Seth Aryee on Jul 27, 2006

There are Christians who seem to be always getting on. They grow like grass after rain. They are ever adding grace to grace. Every time you meet them, they seem larger and their spiritual stature bigger, taller and stronger. What is the secret?

God’s Grace Collides With Culture

Contributed by Otis Mcmillan on May 6, 2024

God Of Grace And God Of Glory Series

Contributed by David Dykes on Oct 30, 2014

God Complains To His People

Contributed by Chris Swanson on Dec 5, 2022

Consider a lawyer as he sets forth God's case against the people of Israel and Judah. That was Micah's job. God did not like the sin that happened then, and He doesn't like it today.

The book of Micah was written to God's people, the children of Israel in the Northern Kingdom, and of Judah in the Southern Kingdom. It was written to warn them of the coming judgment from God but to also for them to repent. Throughout the book of Micah, the need for peace and justice is ...read more
