    Have you ever felt like throwing in the towel? Do you know what it means to throw in the towel? It means to quit or to give up. Have you ever felt like your situation was so hopeless that the only thing you could possibly do was quit and never look back?

    The Power Of God Series

     | 14,983 views

    Can you describe how powerful God is? This sermon examines the scriptures and God's creation to see how He has shown His great power to us.

    In this lesson, I will be talking about the subject of the power of God. But there is an issue that we run into when we talk about this and pretty much every attribute of God: “How can a little finite mortal describe the power of our Creator? It is impossible to do it adequately, for God is ...read more

    Who Is The Holy Spirit? Series

    Contributed by Jason Smith on Sep 14, 2013
     | 7,513 views

    There are many different views in the religious world about who/what the Holy Spirit is. Some believe the Holy Spirit is an impersonal force while others believe He is a personal being and God. What do the scriptures say?

    These lessons on the Holy Spirit of God are meant to just “whet your appetite.” I am attempting to condense a good bit of what we see mentioned about the Holy Spirit into 4 lessons. This series could very easily be expanded into 15-20 lessons, if not more. I pray that these lessons will ...read more

     | 3,228 views

    We have seen the present state of Israel; they are lost. That is their condition today. They are lost just as the Gentiles are lost. The reason is that Christ is the end of the law of righteousness. Now Paul turns from the sovereignty of God to the responsibility of man.

    (34) The Present State of Israel Romans 10:1-4 Scripture 1 Brethren, my heart’s desire and prayer to God for Israel is that they may be saved. 2 For I bear them witness that they have a but not according to knowledge. 3 For they being ignorant of God’s righteousness, and seeking to ...read more

    Why did Jesus say "I am the Resurrection and the Life?" What is there about that simple statement that can give us hope in a dark world?
