But, one of them saw something over the course of the next few hours... He saw something that changed his mind about who this man, being ...read more

Cross Of Pain, Cross Of Life

Contributed by Geoffrey Foot on Mar 24, 2018

Now You Know The Rest Of The Story

Contributed by Nickolas Kooi on Jun 6, 2018

It doesn’t even begin at chapter one, verse one of Luke. We’re not getting the whole story this morning. It is like ...read more

You Must Be "Dreaming"

Contributed by Charlie Roberts on Jul 13, 2016

Don't get caught up in only believing the possibilities of what you have seen in the past! Because no matter where you are at in life, He wants you to dream bigger than your efforts are capable of bringing to the table.

You must be dreaming? Oral Roberts used to use a chorus that some detested, ‘Expect a miracle every day, Expect a miracle when you pray, If you expect it God will find a way, To perform a miracle for you each day.’ What are you expecting or dreaming about for God to do in your life ...read more
