    There are souls who seek to explain away what God has done before them, even though they have seen His work with their own eyes. This text reminds us of how Peter dealt with those situations and thus we are encouraged by his actions.

    Hope In The Midst Of Darkness

    Contributed by Brian Williams on Jan 24, 2023
     | 3,236 views

    This is the time you need to hear the hope of the gospel, the hope of salvation and deliverance, no matter how discouraged you may be. We can make right choices even in the midst of darkness. To be encouraged and strengthened with words of faith. Your present situation is not the end of the story.

    I have heard it said time and time again over the years by Christian and non-Christian alike, that we are living in dark times. When we speak of darkness it could refer to the evils of untold suffering, catastrophes, cruelty, corruption, and malevolence. We have seen evil taking place on a global ...read more

     | 779 views

    The “miry clay” represents situations that are sticky, messy, and hard to escape. It symbolises spiritual bondage, emotional turmoil, and moral failure. But God does not abandon His people in such states. He inclines His ear to us, hears our cry, and lifts us out with His mighty hand.

Samuel Arimoro Main Text: Psalm 40:1-3 Supporting Texts: Jeremiah 38:6-13, Psalm 18:16-19, Colossians 1:13, Isaiah 61:1-3, Luke 15:17-24 INTRODUCTION: There are moments in life when it feels like we are sinking—overwhelmed by sin, pain, confusion, or ...read more

    We must take a stand for God. Just like the Hebrew Boys, we too will be tempted for what we believe. Our God whom we serve can deliver. History and the Bible prove that He can. Therefore He will again. Our problem is that we forget so easily.

    EVEN IF OUR GOD DOES NOT DELIVER US, WE STILL WILL NOT BOW DANIEL 3: 1 Nebuchadnezzar the king made an image of gold, whose height was threescore cubits, and the breadth thereof six cubits: he set it up in the plain of Dura, in the province of Babylon. 2 Then Nebuchadnezzar the king sent to gather ...read more
