     | 4,183 views

    Becoming A Heavenly Rebel Introduction:  The word "Rebel" is defined as  "to rise in opposition or armed resistance to an established government or ruler."

    based on 1 rating
     | 19,194 views

    The problem for so many of us is we are looking backward in our relationship with Jesus, instead of forward. We tend to focus on the stuff that tripped us up and knocked us down. We focus on what we did that caused us to lose hope and feel abandoned.

    “I Have Fallen BUT I Refuse to Stay Down!” Lk 22: 60, 62 & Mth 27: 5 Did you know that EVERY one of the disciples of Jesus fell down? Jesus told them, on the night He shared the “Last Supper” with them in; [Mat 26:31 NIV] “…"This very night you will all fall ...read more

    Contributed by Jerry Cosper on Mar 26, 2015
     | 8,486 views

    When people wrong us, insult us or take our property, we want to see them pay for what they did to us. The question we all need to ask ourselves today is, “Are we willing to go the extra mile for Jesus?”

    One winter day a man went shopping at the local neighborhood mall. When he returned to his car he noticed a rather foul odor coming from under the hood and so he checked the engine. In the compartment he discovered a dead cat rather mutilated from being caught in the fan belt. The poor cat had ...read more

     | 5,879 views

    No matter how hard we try, we know that there are going to be flaws & blemishes in our life. We know that we are not without sin because the Bible tells us so. So let’s take a look at the subject of love.

In John 15:12 He commanded us to love one another. In fact "love" is so important that Jesus devoted a whole section of the Sermon on the Mount to ...read more
