    Easter is a time to revisit the empty tomb and marvel at the power of God, who surpasses our expectations and imaginations.

    Today, we will reflect on the story of Easter and the significance of the empty tomb. It is a reminder of God's incredible power, surpassing our understanding and imagination.

    Every kind of 'But' interferes with my life of just living an authentic life for God

    Today, I want to discuss a common hindrance in our lives that often prevents us from living authentically for God. It's something we all have, and it can be quite significant. I'm talking about our "buts." These "buts" tend to get in the way and hinder us from fully embracing a life dedicated to ...read more

    Practicing Your Piety In Secret

    Contributed by Carla Powell on Jan 2, 2002
    based on 91 ratings
     | 6,160 views

    The life of faith is low-profile. We minimize ourselves so that God can be magnified and glorified. Contrasts showy piety and quiet faith actions.

    Today is Ash Wednesday, the first day in Lent, the season of the church year during which we focus our attention on our devotion to God before Easter. Ash Wednesday gives us an unusual opportunity to focus on our mortality and our sin. These are not popular topics, nor issues that we like to ...read more

    The theme of Acts is not just the works of the apostles but that nothing stops God from spreading His word.

    And the Gospel goes on. Acts 8:1-24 Very anticlimactically written, from this point on there is a shift from Peter and John to a man named Saul. Saul is introduced as being present when Stephen was stoned and that he gave his approval. Dr. Luke gives us insight into Saul and then will compare it ...read more

    Q1: What is the speaking in tongues that Paul is discussing here? - In Acts, the gift of tongues was the gift of being able to speak in a foreign language. The disciples were miraculously given the ability to communicate in languages that they didn’t understand. This was a mighty sign for ...read more
