A Journey Of Faith

Contributed by Melvin Maughmer, Jr. on Dec 20, 2020

They were wise men from the east, nothing else is said about their origin here. Contrary to popular Christmas tradition, the Bible does not use the terms three wise men or three kings to describe the travelers who went to see Jesus after his birth.

Faith To Believe Series

Contributed by Christopher Benfield on May 16, 2018

Jesus declared we could move mountains if we have faith and do not doubt. Did He really mean that? What are the implications of that for believers today?

Faith to Believe Mark 11: 22-26 Clearly our text today deals with faith we are expected to have as believers. Faith is something we often discuss but fail to exercise as we should. It is easy to walk by faith when all is well, but it is an entirely different situation when we face adversity and an ...read more

Faith Or Sight?

Contributed by Perry Greene on May 22, 2018

I/we tend to want to see God's direction clearly. Sometimes he grants that; usually, he doesn't. What he wants from us is the faith to continue on with him even when we don't see where we're going.

A Sturdy Faith?

Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Jun 12, 2018

We put too much faith in our ability to ‘get up enough faith’ (whatever that may mean), rather than placing our trust in the Lord. Do you see the difference? One focuses on US, the other on HIM.

A STURDY FAITH? Psalm 125. Sometimes we speak of a person’s great faith, or their unwavering trust in the Lord, as if this was not attainable by any and each and all of us. ‘Oh,’ we say, ‘he has such faith’. Or, ‘she trusts so entirely upon the LORD’. But Jesus, whilst He gently rebukes His ...read more

Got Faith?

Contributed by Kerry Haynes on Aug 11, 2019

Abraham and Sarah point us to a kind of faith that can help us make temporary sacrifices for our heavenly home. This faith opens up our eyes to God's activity. And it actually makes God proud of us!

Unstoppable Faith Series

Contributed by Steve Greene on Sep 12, 2019

Very few things in life are unstoppable. The only truly unstoppable force in this world comes from God. The Spirit of God makes His Church, His people, and His purpose unstoppable.

Are there any truly unstoppable people in the world? I have known some people who thought they ...read more
