    Prayer-Works Series

    Contributed by Dale Pilgrim on Feb 16, 2008
    based on 4 ratings
     | 11,314 views

    Why ‘work’ instead of ‘activity’ of prayer or ‘picnic’ of prayer? Why does ‘prayer concert’, or ‘prayer vigil’ sound so gray and bland? The answer is obvious. Prayer is hard work! It is rewarding; it is life-changing; but it is hard.

    How hard is it to make a decision? How hard is it to accept challenges for the sake of pleasing our Lord God? Are there challenges you can’t simply put your 100% into?

    How hard is it to make a decision? How hard is it to accept challenges for the sake of pleasing our Lord God? Are there challenges you can’t simply put your 100% into? The Bible speaks about lukewarm Christians in Revelations 3: 15-19 which say; ‘I know your deeds, that you are ...read more

    The Foolishness Of Preaching

    Contributed by Mark Aarssen on Jun 25, 2018
     | 8,773 views

    Some things are hard to hear within the volume of God’s word. Some things are hard to understand and comprehend. Something may even sound foolish to folks but I assure that is not the case.

    The Foolishness of Preaching 1 Corinthians 1:18-25 1 Corinthians 2:1-5 Message: The idea of preaching as a method to reach people with the Gospel of Jesus Christ is viewed by many in our day and time as foolishness. Strangely this was the very same attitude of the people who heard St. Paul ...read more

    Our unchangeable situations are an easy thing in the eyes of the Lord to handle.

    Today I want to continue to examine & illustrate the truth we studied last week which was: the power of God to change the unchangeable. It is so important to keep our focus on the Lord & His ability instead of the complexities of the situation or the hardness/coldness of the person’s heart. Many ...read more
