Pandemic And Presidential Prophecy - Does God Give Ministry Mulligans When Prophecy Is Wrong?

Contributed by Dr. Craig Nelson on Mar 23, 2020

2020 was a year full of Prophecies about the ending of the Covid-19 pandemic, as well as the USA Presidential election, that can be added to the proliferation of so-called prophecies over the last 30+ years that were completely wrong.

2020 was a really bad year for self-proclaimed 'Prophets' of God (or should I say 'profits'?) . There was not one 'prophet' who prophesied a legitimate warning nor predicted that a worldwide pandemic was coming. However, there were numerous 'prophets' who ...read more

Welcome The King!

Contributed by Paul Davidson on Apr 2, 2020

Understanding The Real Battle

Contributed by Barry O Johnson on Apr 6, 2020

When David fought Goliath, he was the only person who understood that the battle was not a natural one but a spiritual one. It’s a lesson that the Body of Christ must learn.

This morning we’re going to be in 1 Samuel 17. The Lord has really been ministering to me about some things in 1 Samuel 12, 16 and 17. 1 Samuel 17 is the story of David and Goliath. But it’s really a story about how the enemy of the soul attacks the Body of Christ. We’re going to look at that ...read more

Contributed by Jonathan Spurlock on Apr 10, 2020

Samson was one of the heroes of the faith (Hebrews 11:32), born in a time of trouble, and lived through his share of troubles. The best way to begin the story of Samson is to begin with the story of his birth.

Samson. He was one of the heroes of the faith (Hebrews 11:32), but he was a failure in other ways. He was a miracle baby, one of a few born to women who were not able to have children except by God’s direct intervention.

Mary, Did You Know?

However, it is not just the weak that live in fear, some great men live in fear. Illus: God said of Job’s ...read more

Can you imagine getting everyone to attend. Illus: Occasionally, many churches have a “NO EXCUSE SUNDAY,” trying to get ...read more
