Contributed by Andrew Dixon on Jan 20, 2026

One of the most complicated pieces of machinery in the world is the human hand. Take a look at your hand for a moment.

Keys To Revival Series

Contributed by Terry Owens on Apr 11, 2001

There is a great need for revival; learn what we must do to prepare for God’s great outpouring.

I don’t think there’s a question in anyone’s mind that our nation, our city, and our church needs revival. There’s a darkness that’s settling over our cities and our churches.

Do You See The Light? Series

Contributed by Adam Couchman on Jun 18, 2007

John 9 is a compelling chapter in John’s Gospel. The healing of the man born blind confronts us with our own spiritual blindness. As we read, we are confronted with the same question that Jesus presents him, "Do you believe in the Son of Man?" Jesus, the

John presents his gospel in much the same way that a lawyer presents evidence in a kind of divine trial. He compels his “jury” to make a decision for themselves about Jesus – “do you believe or not?” The gospel is often divided into two sections – the Book of Signs (chapters 1-12) and the Book of ...read more
