A Starting Place For Successful Ministry

Contributed by Otis Mcmillan on Sep 9, 2019

The Apostle Paul who had invested so much in the life of young Timothy, helps him prepare for a new beginning by offering him a starting place for success. I believe this is also a starting place for successful ministers as we prepare others to make it on their own.

Character And Spiritual Power

Contributed by Benjamin Suulola on Feb 22, 2023

The Power we need to fulfil the Purpose of God for our lives in our generation rests solely on having, maintaining and retaining the Character of God in our lives.

Patience In The Battle

Contributed by Barry O Johnson on May 16, 2023

One of the things that the Church, from my perspective, does not see how patient Satan is when it comes to seeing his destructive agenda manifest in our country and the world. This message examines looks at one example of this.

When I say small, I’d ...read more

Fasting Plus Prayer Plus Faith Equals God Being With Us

Contributed by Craig Condon on Aug 28, 2015
