     | 2,604 views

    Our minds are tricky. All doubt and faith are not based on logic.

    Where the Bible says, “Now faith is the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen” (Hebrews 11:1), we live in a culture that doubts everything. In 2001, Katie Couric told Today Show audiences that seven percent of Americans doubt the moon landing happened — that it was staged ...read more

    With Thanksgiving just days away, this is the time of year when we focus on the reasons we are thankful. That might be harder to do this year with COVID but we still need to be in a mode of giving thanks. Thank you-two small but powerful words that mean so much.

    Understanding The Real Battle

    Contributed by Barry O Johnson on Apr 6, 2020
    based on 1 rating
     | 13,348 views

    When David fought Goliath, he was the only person who understood that the battle was not a natural one but a spiritual one. It’s a lesson that the Body of Christ must learn.

    This morning we’re going to be in 1 Samuel 17. The Lord has really been ministering to me about some things in 1 Samuel 12, 16 and 17. 1 Samuel 17 is the story of David and Goliath. But it’s really a story about how the enemy of the soul attacks the Body of Christ. We’re going to look at that ...read more
