Have You Been Listening To Your Soul Lately? Series

Contributed by Alis Cerrahyan on Jun 26, 2019

Giving a voice to our soul through prayers benefits us more than it benefits God. It tells us about who we are and where we stand. Acknowledging something is the beginning of healing.

We, as Christians, have learned to stand before God and pray. Not only did Jesus pray almost all the time, but He also taught us how to pray. He gave us the Lord's Prayer as a sample to follow. A good portion of that sample prayer aims to worship God; his presence, his power and his character. ...read more

Are You Using All Your Resources? Series

Contributed by Alis Cerrahyan on Jul 31, 2019

Our God who is not bound by space or time has closed every gap there is by sending Jesus, his only begotten Son to this fallen place; just so we'll have every resource we could possibly need in order to conquer all obstacles. Either we are for the Lord or we are not! It is as simple as that!

God did not make us to be a part of this demanding lifestyle, to struggle through it and to be swayed by its complexities, and to be buried eternally without even a trace of our spiritual identity. If this is what we think life is all about; we really don't know a thing about God's ...read more
