    God’s presence with us in life’s darkest valleys brings comfort, courage, and guidance, assuring us we are never alone, no matter the circumstance.

Some valleys feel like midnight at noon—shadows stretching across the heart, courage feeling thin, hope feeling ...read more

    The sermon encourages finding peace and security by dwelling in God’s presence, trusting Him as our refuge amid life’s fears, pressures, and uncertainties.

     | 52,237 views

    Jesus used many things to illustrate His truths. For Father’s Day we discover God’s truths for fathering from the Bible through the use of every man’s tool: duct tape.

    Today is a great day for men - Father’s Day. Jesus would often use objects to get His truth into the hearts and minds of people, so they would remember it easily for long time and get the point. Fish, nets, fishing, bread, water, rivers, trees, fruit, vineyards, wooden board/pole, shepherd/sheep, ...read more

    Unity, according to Jesus, is essential for the well-being and success of any institution. This is especially true of the family and the Church.

    Christ made a profound statement rgarding the importance of unity in MARK 3:24-25. Let us stop to examine the context of this statement. Jesus had just cast-out demons from a fellow. Rather than admit Jesus’ Divine power, the spiritually blind Pharisees were making the claim that Jesus expelled ...read more
