    There are certain things in life that men would appreciate most. Many of such things are not determined by their cost or magnitude but by the values it brought to the recipient at the nick of time.

    True Biblical Prosperity

    Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Feb 9, 2022
    based on 3 ratings
     | 11,195 views

    Prosperity is not based on what we possess but on who we are inside, or who we are spiritually. Prosperity is not determined by a lack of hard times, but by how we handle tough situations; by whether or not we maintain our joy.

    I have entitled our message this evening “True Biblical Prosperity.” If there is “true” biblical teaching on prosperity, then there must also be “false” teaching. Therefore, I am going to briefly address the false teaching that’s out there, and then point out what the Bible defines as true ...read more

     | 1,486 views

    The Old Testament prophets wrote of things to come and strained to look into those things to understand them; things for our instruction. The Holy Spirit moved them to write of Christ who would come. The grace of God is revealed and we look forward to the glorious hope to come.
