Our Heavenly Father

Contributed by Christian Cheong on Jun 18, 2007

When we pray, we see the Father’s love (the basis of our prayer), the Father’s control (our assurance), and the Father’s heart (our goal in life).

In the Scriptures, the longest prayer of Jesus is found in John 17. • This prayer was made just ...read more

Giving That Feels Good Series

Contributed by Fred Sigle on Feb 5, 2007

Giving is a topic that most preachers would rather avoid. Most often we are reluctant to preach on "giving" because of our measly offerings. It’s understanding the "God-principle" behind our giving that helps make preaching on "giving" much easier.

Not Our Way, But God’s Way

Contributed by Andrew Dixon on Aug 22, 2022

Do not fear or be dismayed.'” (ESV) These were the words of Moses to the people of Israel. When the Lord ...read more

Christ Our Comforter Series

Contributed by Chris Appleby on Sep 23, 2004

Suffering is a common human experience. But it doesn’t have to stop us ministering for God. In fact God can use our experience of suffering to help others by the way we offer them the support that we have received from God.
