    All of us face giants of debt, abuse, rejection, troubled children, battle fears, health issues, habits, failure, or depression. They seem impossible to overcome. But David shows us how to trust in God to save us. Jesus, our Champion, won the victory!

     | 3,035 views

    John was one of the original Twelve Disciples of Jesus. He spent more than three years with Jesus. He realized why Jesus came. And He wrote the reason why Jesus came in his gospel. In John 3:16-17, he said that God sent Jesus into this world to love us. This is why we must celebrate His birth.

    based on 1 rating
     | 758 views

    The cross is the central fact of the Gospel. But not all people are aware or accept that fact. And this has been true from the beginning. Our text in I Corinthians 1:18-25 describes the message of the cross, and two words stand out: Foolishness and Power.

    Alba 1-26-2025 THE MESSAGE OF THE CROSS I Corinthians 1:18-25 Recently we witnessed the inauguration of the 47th President of the United States of America. Every four years it happens.

    The most important way that joy becomes strength is by knowing who we are, and whose we are, and why we are.

    Why did they weep? Why did the people of Jerusalem grieve when Ezra read the word of God to them?

    Consider The True Glory Of Our King!

     | 1,293 views

    In His "state of humiliation" as theologians say, Jesus' glory was most deeply hidden! Through these verses from Colossians we are invited to see the true glory of King Jesus!

    “Jesus of Nazareth, the King of the Jews.” All four of the Gospel writers (Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John) tell us about the written notice of the charge against Jesus—and for which Pontius Pilate crucified him.

    Identity Theft

    Contributed by Phillip Smith on Nov 11, 2023
     | 1,609 views

    An unstable person who feels inadequate in their identity might steal another’s because it might bring them personal gain. Others who have turned to evil find pleasure in stealing from a person more wealthy than they.

    Knowing mankind has to have individual identifiers for every person, place and thing, he has instinctively created an almost impossibility to recognize things of a spiritual nature. Man cannot readily recognize things of a spiritual nature because he does not see, hear, touch, nor smell or taste a ...read more
