     | 3,307 views

    Simon Peter made one of the greatest decisions of his life when he decided to leave everything and follow Jesus.

    Foreword: Every person who follows Jesus as Lord and Savior has at least one thing in common with every believer: he or she made a decision to follow Him. The Gospels have several incidents where someone did just that. One of my favorites took place in Luke 5, and it was in a very unusual ...read more

    What are you supposed to do when awful things happen that you can’t change? When life beats you up, God still has a plan and a purpose for every minute of your day. He hasn’t left you. He will lift you up if you let him. You can endure and be victorious!

    Denying Yourself

    Contributed by Ajai Prakash on Apr 24, 2024
     | 1,353 views

    Revival revolves around this very notion and directly balances on the denial of ourselves and the cross we carry. Are we ready to take it on? Are we ready to carry our cross?

    Illustration: Passion Season - Jesus enters Jerusalem on a donkey. What is He denying himself? Jesus is in the garden of gethsemane. What is He denying himself? What cup does He choose? Jesus is put on the cross. What is He denying himself? The path is different because it is the path of ...read more

    This sermon looks at how Elijah suffered from depression. It looks at the circumstances that made him more likely to suffer from depression and how God lifted him from that dark depression.

    Tell me if you can identify with this song. “Gloom, Despair, and agony on me. Deep dark depression and endless misery. If it weren’t for bad luck, I’d have no luck at all, Gloom, despair, and agony on me.” I know that there are times in my past where that could’ve been the theme song of my ...read more
