    Encourages trusting in God for guidance, securing eternal fortunes, and safeguarding personal wellbeing, emphasizing faith in both good and challenging times.

Today, we come together under the banner of faith, a faith that is not just for ...read more

    Notice these words, “And of some have compassion MAKING A DIFFERENCE…”

    Some can live their entire life and never make any difference in a positive way. For example, God can leave some people on this earth for 90 or 100 years, and when they die, their life has made very little DIFFERENCE!

    Seems we have all kinds of excuses not to do the things we ought to be doing. Simple truth of the matter is... we all have Big Buts that get in the way of us consistently living a sold life for Jesus.

    (Opening Big But video, Worship House Media) I have a really big but, it’s huge if I have to be honest about it.

    What character of the Bible best describes you? Do you start out well only to finish poorly and offer God every excuse you can think of?

    Barzillai – 27th April 2008 am 2 Samuel 19:32 Background – David running from Absalom Bar-zil-lah-ee The Holy Spirit says something of Barzillai that He says of very few people.
