    Contributed by Martin Ellgar on Oct 30, 2014
    based on 3 ratings
     | 8,748 views

    A perspective on Matthew 14: 22-33. Like Peter, we are so often distracted by the voice and terrors of our own storm in life. At times we feel we are sinking, about to loose everything about us.

    Matthew 14: 22-33 LISTEN TO GOD AND WALK ON WATER Written exams and tests are generally run like a competition. The teacher at school or the lecturer at university or your employer sets the work before you, and you know that at the end of it there will be a small prize or a pat on the back to ...read more

    Guard our hearts and attitudes, to avoid becoming an illegal alien (spiritually) - i.e., tresspassing against God’s character and alienating ourselves from the heart of God.

    I wish to talk on the subject from the two texts in your hearing,” Putting God First”.

    Brothers and sisters, ladies and gentlemen, we are living in a world that is good to look out for “Number 1”. A society that is for me, myself and I with no assistance or help from anyone and yes not even God. I’m afraid this world is putting God on the backburner not considering He is the King ...read more

    The Secret Life Of Titus Series

    Contributed by Brad Beaman on Apr 23, 2022
     | 2,956 views

    We might think that Titus had a boring life. He is never mentioned in the book of Acts. But when we piece together the life of Titus from Galatians, 2 Corinthians, 2 Timothy and the book of Titus we realize Titus had one of the most adventure filled ministries of anyone we find in the Bible.

    In the movie the Secret Life of Walter Mitty we see Walter who works at Life Magazine developing pictures. He is leading a very boring life. Because his life is so boring he daydreams of having exciting adventures where he is at the center of danger and excitement. But then back at work he finds ...read more

    Contributed by Andrew Dixon on Sep 29, 2023
    based on 2 ratings
     | 1,883 views

    Rev. F. Andrew Dixon If married couples can learn to handle their finances on certain principles based on God’s word, they can avoid conflict because of finances and also stay out of debt. Learn how your finances can be blessed so you can be a blessing to others.

    We read in Matthew 22:2, “The kingdom of heaven is like to a certain king, who made a marriage for his son..”(Webster) We considered this verse in one of the previous messages, to understand that the kingdom of heaven is likened to a certain king who organized marriage for his son, which implies ...read more

    It is impossible to love from afar. Christians are called to share their blessings and get "down and dirty" in their sharing of the gospel and their service of others.

    God has never wanted His people to live in a constant state of debt. It is important to God for His people to be debt-free because debt places someone other than God in the position of power over them.

    Living Debt-Free Deuteronomy 28:12 - The LORD will open the heavens, the storehouse of his bounty, to send rain on your land in season and to bless all the work of your hands. You will lend to many nations but will borrow from none. God has never wanted His people to live in a constant state of ...read more
