    If you have ever felt like you are alone in this world, if you ever struggle to sense God’s presence, my prayer is that you will be encouraged by God’s Word.

    Supernatural Stream of God’s Presence If i am honest, even as a Pentecostal Minister, who loves and serves Jesus with my whole heart, sometimes I can question whether or not God is near. It’s usually struggles or chaos that seem to hide His presence in my life. But just because i ...read more

    Greet One Another Series

     | 14,397 views

    Surprisingly, greet one another with a holy kiss is the second most repeated one another command. This culturally out of place command is far more relevant to our culture than we might first realize. We need to focus on the "greet" and not the "kiss."

Now I've already told you that the command to love one another is the most frequently repeated one another principle. It appears no less than nine times in the New Testament.

     | 10,470 views

    At first glance the book of Numbers reads a bit like an operations manual. It’s got numbers of soldiers, lists of names, and a bit of repetition. Tucked between those lists and numbers are some stories of real people, dealing with real issues of faith!

    BETWEEN THE NUMBERS ENEMIES Numbers 16:1-35 -Years ago I was talking to a woman about a situation she was in. -She was describing someone that was causing problems her in life and was asking me for advice. -And she used A WORD that shocked me! -People are usually pretty careful about what words ...read more

    As the church grows, there will inevitably be problems among people. How does the early church deal with these issues as they arise and what can today’s church learn in how to deal with these “growing concerns” in a way that will glorify God?

    Growing Concerns Handle Growing Concerns with Discernment (Acts 6:1-2) Handle Growing Concerns by Delegating (Acts 6:3-6) Delegate to those who are of good reputation Delegate to those who are full of the Spirit Delegate to those who are wise Handling Growing Concerns in a godly way Produces ...read more

    An unbeliever can say that he does not believe in the virgin birth, and that is ok. I do not expect them to. But for a believer, especially a preacher, to say that he does not believe in the virgin birth is a disgrace, and I would have to say that he...
