    How should we pray? As Jesus taught His disciples, He also teaches us: 1. Pray with great determination (vs. 5-8) 2. Pray with great expectation (vs. 9-10) 3. Picture our Heavenly Father’s dedication (vs. 11-13) 4. Ponder God’s escalation (vs. 13)

    When God Asks For Your Isaac Series

    based on 10 ratings
     | 87,034 views

    God asked Abraham to lay down his Isaac. His story is an incredible picture of the Cross and how God loved us enough to surrender His Son, Jesus, for our sin. Do we love Him enough to surrender our Isaac today?

    It has been said that Christians are like tea bags……they always do best when they get in hot water. In Genesis chapter 22, we find Abraham in the hottest water of his life as God tries his faith. The Bible teaches three key truths about trials in the life of a believer: 1) Trials come to ...read more

    If You Want To Grow, Examine What You Think You Know

    Contributed by Nettie J Pennington on Jun 22, 2023
     | 2,081 views

    Give God the glory for all you are and all you will be. Let us look inside ourselves and find the person God created us to be. If you know yourself, more power to you, but we still need to examine ourselves, if for no other reason than that is what God told us to do. Examine Yourself!

    When you know who you are in Christ, you can easily follow the Lord’s Way and Truth. Some of you think, “That’s too hard.” However, I ask the Holy Spirit to bring to your remembrance that Jesus, Himself, said: “My yoke is easy, and my burden is light” (Matt. 11:30, NIV). If things are hard for some ...read more
