The Unhindered Good News Series

Contributed by Tim Bond on May 27, 2004

The primary hinderance to the Good News being taken to all the world is our willingness to share it.

It Is Time For A New Thing

Contributed by Randy Hamel on Jan 5, 2009

Message looks at Ezekiel 36:24-32. God moved and brought the people back to the land and to Himself spiritually. God is calling us today to renewal. Are we ready to heed the call?

I am really excited and trusting God for great things in 2009. When we ask the Lord in faith to build an area wide church reaching hundreds for Jesus that is only something He can do. It is rooted in scripture because lost people matter to God. That is why in Acts 1:8 Jesus last words were “Acts ...read more

Giving In The New Testament
