The Storms Of Life

Contributed by Chris Swanson on Oct 18, 2022

Jesus rebuked the wind. He didn’t have to speak more than once for this occasion. But how many times does God have to tell us something before we listen?

Psalms 46:10, Be still, and know that I am God: I will be exalted among the heathen, I will be exalted in the earth. Sometimes we tend to rely on ourselves before trusting in the Lord.

Your Money Or Your Life?

Contributed by Alison Bucklin on Jul 25, 2023

Jesus asks us to hold ALL of God’s gifts lightly, to be ready to give them up, if necessary, to follow him. But it’s hard. And the more you have, the harder it is.

God: The Source Of Wisdom Series

Contributed by Daniel Teberian on Mar 16, 2023

Prostitute Wages

Contributed by Bala Samson on Jul 11, 2024

It may not be physical idols but when you forego prayer, Bible and close walk with God and give more importance to 'salary, promotion and making money' then God calls it prostitute wages.

God’s Blessings Can Be Lost

Contributed by Kelvin Mckisic on Sep 12, 2024

Season For Figs

Contributed by Samuel M on Jan 21, 2024

Mark 11:13 The fig tree was in tune with the world's seasons but not with God’s seasons. As per the ...read more
