    We will watch as Joseph plots and plans to verify the heart of his brothers. We often plot and wait, often not understanding the true answer which God has given us. We should seek to fully know and do the will of God.

    Today’s message is taken from the life of King Jeroboam. Jeroboam deliberately modified and changed God’s commandments to suit his purposes. Jeroboam didn’t cease being religious nor believing in God; rather he was using God to suit his own purposes.

    Using God 1 Kings 14:1-6 Watch: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iBOsnQH5bDE This story on the life of King Jeroboam is one that no one should ignore. In fact, it’s impossible to understand the history of the Jewish people and the nation of Israel without knowing it, and that’s because every king ...read more

It is among the most prevalent phrases in society, business, politics, sports and life in general: "controlling the narrative."

    Are You Mma Read? Series

    In spiritual warfare there are no rules, no rounds, no countouts, no one to stop the fight. Whoever fights the hardest, the meanest, and lasts the longest will win. There is no draw. You either win the battle or lose the battle.

    This week I caught a glimpse of the MMA. Has anyone seen these matches? They are brutal. They take place in a cage where two opponents fight three to five rounds. Every round is 5 minutes in duration with one-minute rest period in-between rounds. Non-title matches must not exceed three rounds. ...read more

    The way back to God after having sinned against Him is to offer Him a contrite and broken heart. God disciplines those He loves out of mercy in order to bring us back into a faithful relationship with Him.
