    Stubborn In Spirit, Persistent In Prayer

    Contributed by Kimberly Belken on Sep 27, 2020
     | 5,867 views

    The Biblical woman of Hannah has much to teach us about prayer and trust in God. We learn to pound on the doors of heaven and that we can trust God to hear and answer us.

    Lesson #19 [id3b] The Encouragement Toward Maturity Series

    Contributed by John Lowe on Oct 21, 2020
     | 2,665 views

    No one can escape coming into the world as a baby because that is the only way to get here! But it is tragic when a baby fails to mature. No matter how much parents and grandparents love to cuddle and hold a baby, it is their greater desire that the baby matures.

    2/1/20 Tom Lowe Lesson #19 [ID3b] The Encouragement toward Maturity (Hebrews 6:1-3) Scripture: Hebrews 6:1-3 (NIV) 1. Therefore let us move beyond the elementary teachings about Christ and be taken forward to maturity, not laying again the foundation of repentance from acts that lead to death ...read more
