     | 13,533 views

    The Bible is filled with instances of singing. It was an vital part of the worship of Israel, and now is an essential part of the worship of the church.

    Why Don't We Grow

    Contributed by Jimmy Chapman on Jul 21, 2007
    based on 28 ratings
     | 30,604 views

    We’re not surprised when we grow physically; we expect it. If, by chance, growth doesn’t occur, we immediately know something is wrong and attempt to uncover the problem. The same is true spiritually

    WHY WE DON’T GROW Judges 17:13-15 Statistics show the average productivity of a Christian’s spiritual life is less than three years. Tonight I want to bring encouragement to those who are sidetracked and to strengthen those who are on the right track. Billy Sunday used to say, “If we Christians ...read more

Every hour on the hour, 365 days a year, a new soldier reports for duty. When the new guard arrives, he receives his orders from the one who is leaving. ...read more

    What does it mean when God (Jesus) sits?

    WHEN JESUS SITS As a father, I have had moments in the lives of my children that I was so overwhelmingly proud of them I did not know what to do or how to act.

    It tells us that the Lord took Philip away suddenly, and one day, we who love and belong to the Lord are going to be taken away suddenly. We are going to be caught up, raptured literally into the air and into His presence
