Powerful People Pray With Expectation Series

Contributed by Dean Courtier on Jan 26, 2020

Some of the people from the Bible we will look at are more well known than others. The Bible is a collection of 66 books and letters, 39 in the Old ...read more

An Inspired Description Of The Church

Contributed by Grant Adams on Jan 31, 2020

In these verses of scripture, we have an authentic description of the true church of God. This is what God, Himself, says about the church. On every hand today the church and the very use of the word “church” is misunderstood.

Reihold Niebuhr said this about the church, “The church is a lot like Noah’s ark, if it weren’t for the storm on the outside, you could not stand the stink on the inside.” True of many churches today, I don’t know of any time when the church has made more racket and been less effective in the world ...read more

The Successful Failure Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Apr 6, 2021

Peter was the greatest failure in his abusive power. And yet we see that he not only survives, but he does so quite successfully. He is able to stay on top as the leader of the 12. He does everything wrong, and still comes out a winner.

Apollo 13 was one of the biggest flops in the history of our space program, and yet it was also one of the most celebrated. Can a catastrophic failure also be a colossal success? Just ask the three astronauts of that ill fated flight. It was 1970, and they were on their way to the moon when an ...read more
