    We want to consider words from the Bible that should encourage us to keep the fires burning in our personal life and in the life of our church.

    Turn to Leviticus 6. We will look at three verses in this chapter – 9, 12, & 13. The title for today’s sermon is “Keep the Fire Burning.” Many times you hear someone say, “That church is really on fire.” Or, maybe they say, “That person is really on ...read more

     | 12,008 views

    God has a good plan for our lives and we can discover our destiny in Christ by making daily decisions in submission to His Word through the power of the Holy Spirit. This is the lesson we can learn from the last chapter of Ruth.

A typical response of a person who believes in fate is resignation - if we can't change destiny, then why even try? Whatever happens, happens and we can't do ...read more
