    Venture And Capture

    Contributed by Bala Samson on Dec 8, 2013
     | 2,737 views

    Friend, it is one thing to ask God what we want, but it is gorgeous when He looks at you and asks you what you want? Staggering!

    Venture & capture! 2 King 2:9 “……when they had crossed over, that Elijah said to Elisha, "Ask! What may I do for you, before I am taken away from you?" Elisha said, "Please let a double portion of your spirit be upon me." Friend, it is one thing to ask God what we want, but it ...read more

    THE BOOK AND THE LAMB. Revelation 5:1-14. 1. “Who is worthy to break the seals of the scroll?” (REVELATION 5:2). Until the seals are broken, the whole of redemption history is held in suspense.

    When we are most discouraged, we need all the more to pray, because it is the time we needed Him most. God is faithful and will come to our aid, and very often providing us with both our present and future needs.

    Chap 18 - Elijah did a wonderful job - he challenged the false prophets and triumphed. • 450 prophets of Baal at Mount Carmel • God answered Elijah’s prayer with a holy fire (18:38) • Elijah slaughtered all the false prophets Now Queen Jezebel wanted to take Elijah life - within 24 hours. • Great ...read more

    Benaiah!

    Contributed by Bala Samson on Jun 2, 2015
     | 6,649 views

    I like the way Benaiah kills a lion in a pit on a snowy day! That is going to be our focus of study today, he went against all odds and slew the lion despite the snow!

    Benaiah! 1 Chronicles 11:22”……Benaiah also went down and struck down a lion in a pit on a day when snow had fallen.” People who are God-driven are not ‘ lazy couch potatoes’ but are gutsy people who would go out of their comfort and convenient zones to achieve ...read more

    Go In To Possess

    Contributed by Bala Samson on Mar 12, 2013
    based on 1 rating
     | 2,884 views

    Sometimes we expect God to spoon-feed us! We want the ‘blessings’ wrapped with colorful, glossy paper and given to us; it does not happen that way, there are times we got to just move forward and possess it.

    Go in to possess! Nehemiah 9:15”You gave them bread from heaven for their hunger, And brought them water out of the rock for their thirst, And told them to go in to possess the land Which You had sworn to give them.” Observe the title once more, it is not 'go in and possess' but it ...read more

    The war between the political and spiritual leaders is an age-old issue. It exists time immemorial. Religious leaders are raised by God, whereas political leaders inherit from their forefathers, are elected by their citizens through democracy.

    Many have lost the race in life and have either committed suicide or have failed in life, because they have failed to know about Jehovah, who is our strength.

    Jehovah Nissi! Genesis 49:23”The archers have bitterly grieved him, Shot at him and hated him. 24 But his bow remained in strength…” Strength! I know all of you need heaps and heaps of them! Come on, I am not talking about physical strength, I’m talking about spiritual ...read more

    Dream, Part 3: Determination

     | 4,794 views

    In the Bible, God offers you and me a dream. He offers us a life and purpose and mission that is beyond just existing, beyond functionality. This sermon addresses the determination needed in making God’s dream come true for you.

    If you have your Bibles, turn to the book of Mark. We have been in a series called "Dream". A lot of us need change in our lives and during the beginning of the year, a lot of times we will set goals, or look at different targets that we would like to hit. I think all of that is important and ...read more

    The Fire And The Calf

    Contributed by Rick Pendleton on Nov 7, 2012
     | 3,203 views

    God told Joshua the reason He would not answer their prayers or protect Israel was because "there is sin in the camp". I believe that is true for the church and Christians today. If you're afraid to preach sin... don't look at this one.

    Sin in the Camp Joshua 7 Today I want to talk to you about something very serious… sin in the camp. I believe this is one of the biggest problems in the world today... sin in the camp.... Sin in God’s people I think most Christians do not take this very seriously because they say to ...read more
