     | 12,700 views

    A different twist on how a mom bought a request to jesus that demonstrates the kind of moms we honor today. Mothers are soft voices saying, "i love you." and mothers are a link to god, a child's first impression of god's love.

    A STRANGE REQUEST FROM MOM! Jim McCutchen • A mother was talking to an old college friend and said, “I remember before I was married that I had three theories about raising children. Now I have three children and no theories Kings can pass away; other kings can rise. Presidents can ...read more

    What is possible in each one of our futures? If we are willing to wait on God, it's more like what's not possible in each one of our futures!

Isa. 40:31 NKJ But those who wait on the Lord Shall renew their strength; They shall mount up with wings like eagles, They shall run and not be weary, They shall walk and not faint.

     | 4,786 views

    We are told the precise day of Christ's Return in relation to the Tribulation Period. We just don't know when that will begin.

    Introduction A. The disciples want to know just when Jesus is going to come again 1. Lets turn to Matthew 24:29 2. Well, we want the answer to that very same question 3. But, you know, Jesus has told us exactly when His return would be Matthew 24:29 (NKJV) "Immediately after the ...read more

    God looked at Saul and got right to the heart of the matter.

    The last time we were together, I told the story of Ruth and Boaz. We learned of how Boaz was her redeemer and mirrored what Jesus would do for us one day. The nation of Israel had taken possession of the land promised to them but they disobeyed God by not driving out all the nations that were in ...read more

    To climb back up the mountain of righteousness one must throw off complacency and embrace a genuine desire to seek and obtain forgiveness through confession. Turn from your evil ways, cry out to God for mercy and pray that He who summoned the enemy might also defeat them!

    Studies In Genesis: The Decendants Of Seth Series

    Contributed by Edward Hardee on Oct 18, 2011
     | 5,464 views

    This is a study of the book of Genesis. Genesis and Revelation are two of the most disputed books in the Bible. The premise of this study is the foundation of creation.

    Note: When doing a study on a book in the Bible you use a lot of resources. The major influence for me on this study of Genesis is The Genesis Record by Henry Morris. This study was done such a long time ago I am not sure what other sources was used but I thought it was interesting for the studies ...read more

    Prayer Keys - Fasting Series

    Contributed by Mark Stepherson on Oct 22, 2011
    based on 4 ratings
     | 6,900 views

    Legalistic fasting is not a prayer key. It is just going hungry. Spiritual awareness that prompts us to pray may also prompt us to fast. May God make us more spiritually aware. May his spirit prompt us to pray, even to the point of forgetting to eat.

    Prayer Keys - Fasting by Mark Stepherson “But when you fast, put oil on you head and wash your face, so that it will not be obvious to men that you are fasting, but only to your Father, who is unseen; and your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you.” Matthew 6:17-18 Did you ...read more

    How Blind Beggars Get Healed

    Contributed by Donavon Hill on Jul 17, 2017
    based on 1 rating
     | 10,290 views

    A practical challenge to trust Jesus. You don't have to have all the answers and the crowd around Jesus may be a little goofy, but perhaps He really can do what He says He can do. Cry out to Him!

    How Blind Beggars Get Healed Shall we stand for the reading of the Word . . . Mark 10 (NKJV) . . . 46 Now they came to Jericho. As He went out of Jericho with His disciples and a great multitude, blind Bartimaeus, the son of Timaeus, sat by the road begging. 47 And when he heard that it was ...read more

    What's Buried Under Your Tent?

    Contributed by Michael Otterstatter on Jul 24, 2017
    based on 2 ratings
     | 13,344 views

    Like Achan we may think our sin will not be uncovered--even by God. But we need to remember that nothing can be hidden from God and the guilt of our sins still stands. This account leads us to confess our sins and turn in faith to Christ forgiveness!

    Soon after they fell into sin Adam and Eve tried to hide their guilt behind coverings made of fig leaves. Later because of their sin they also vainly attempted to hide themselves from God. Adam and Eve’s son Cain thought he could hide the guilt of shedding his brother’s innocent blood by claiming ...read more
