Unbelief And Faith

Contributed by Barry O Johnson on Apr 8, 2017

What does unanswered prayer say about our level of faith? Many of us believe we're walking in more faith than we really are.

A couple of years ago I came face to face with a very sobering and heart-wrenching revelation: my faith was not where I thought it was. But I didn’t know that until “I didn’t see” the faith results I was seeking. I had convinced myself that my faith was at a place where it was not. A very dear ...read more

Living In The Kingdom 15 Series

Contributed by Rodney V Johnson on Apr 21, 2022

Nothing Is Impossible Series

Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Jul 17, 2021

The word “impossible” means nothing to God! The birth of a baby born to a virgin was a miracle! The Lord can also miraculously bring light to a dark situation. “Never doubt in the dark, what God spoke while you were in the light.”

I’ve entitled our message this morning, “Nothing Is Impossible,” as we briefly touch on the account of how baby Jesus was born to the Virgin Mary. I would like to begin with some inspirational quotes and illustrations; and I’ll start by sharing one entitled “Impossible Takes Longer.” Charles F. ...read more

10th Sunday After Pentecost

Contributed by Michael Tkachuk on Aug 22, 2014

Christ teaches us that our faith, however small it may be, is very much alive, very active and powerful! He compares the growth of our faith to the raising of a tiny mustard seed. If we keep it alive and nature it, we can move mountains with it.

Our Gospel reading this morning deals with the topic of faith. Last Sunday St. Matthew told us about Simon Peter’s faith and his momentary loss of it when he took his eyes off Jesus. In today’s Gospel reading Jesus tells us that the strength of our faith determines our ability to ...read more
