The Testing & Teaching Of The Feeding Of The Five Thousand

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Jan 26, 2022

You probably know that what we learn after we are out of school is much more than what we learned in the classrooms while we were in school.

A mistake many high school students make is to think that one day they will graduate and never have to apply in their daily living any of the things they learned in those classrooms in the past twelve years. The reason they think that way is because we have been trained to think of a classroom ...read more

Contributed by Charles Cunningham on Sep 27, 2019

By giving thanks, Jesus made a custom that seemed so ordinary sacred . . . by lifting the level of its meaning beyond the material to the spiritual. Our Lord was aware, as we should be, of Who our Provider is.

Walking On Water

Contributed by Mark A. Barber on Jul 30, 2020

God has a great story He wants us to join.

Walking on Water Matthew 14:22-33 The phrase “Walking on Water” has become a proverb. It is spoken of someone who seems to prevail against all odds. It is to do the impossible.

How To Be A Successful Nobody Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Apr 6, 2021

Contributed by John Gaston on May 5, 2021

This is a rewrite of Glenn Pease's fine message. It talks about many of the un-named people in the Bible who played such big roles in the events of the New Testament. We think of ourselves as nobodys, but that's not what Heaven thinks! You have a lot to give.

Survival, Sufficiency, Or Super-Abundance?

We can settle for survival, sufficiency, or super-abundance. Which would you rather have from God? Are we making our plans only considering what WE can do, or are we making plans considering what GOD can do?
