If we do, we get rewarded; if we ...read more

    Prayer-Works Series

    Contributed by Dale Pilgrim on Feb 16, 2008
    based on 4 ratings
     | 11,490 views

    We continue today on our topic, “Learning to serve in a Service-less Age”, more specifically looking at “The refurbished Life”. God refurbishes our lives, in part, through “The Habit of Prayer”. I confess my struggle with this topic. It is complex yet simple. So complex that we will not even begin ...read more

     | 3,169 views

    When things are going right for us, generally we all react basically the same way. We smile and enjoy the GOOD TIMES.

    When someone asks us how things are going, we smile and say, “GREAT!” How we are different from one another is often revealed not during our GOOD TIMES, but during the HARD TIMES!
