    God uses prayer and waiting to prepare us for new beginnings, inviting us to trust His timing and embrace the fresh work He is doing.

    Some mornings feel like the air itself is holding its breath. You can sense that change is near, like the hush before a symphony begins or the split second before a seed splits and sends up a tender green shoot.

    Risk It

    Life is not about playing it safe, nor is the Christian faith. Faith requires that we take risk, just like Peter took a risk stepping out of the boat.

    Many of you might remember the Lethal Weapons movies of a few years back. In these movies there was a good safe cop who did things conservatively, by the book, who wasn’t in to taking unnecessary risks. Then there was the character played by Mel Gibson who was always taking risks. He would jump ...read more

    Hannah is introduced to us as a weeping, mourning woman but she took a determined step in her life that gave her a new title. What is that? Mother of prophet Samuel!

    The 12 Apostles: James Son Of Zebedee

    Contributed by John Gaston on Mar 5, 2015
     | 10,004 views

    James had character flaws like being brash, bragging who'd be the greatest, wanting to call down fire on people and asking to sit on a throne next to Jesus. But he became an Apostle of love and became the first apostle to be martyred.

    We are instructed to be aware of how our enemy works against us. However, it is also essential to know how God works. We need to learn His tactics so that we won't miss His hand moving in our life.

    Tactics Pt. 2 - After I. Introduction In the New Testament, Paul instructs us to be aware of how our enemy works. In 2 Corinthians 2:11, he says “After all, we don’t want to unwittingly give Satan an opening for yet more mischief—we’re not oblivious to his sly ways!” ...read more

    Other lies state that Jesus did not bring forth a new Testament, AKA, Religion. These next verses prove that that statement is misleading. For without a New Testament the gentile race would have no chance for salvation.

Conclusion Lets look at these next verses and see what a false religion is. 1Jo 4:3 And every spirit that confesseth not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is not of God: and this is that spirit of anti-christ, whereof ye have heard that it should come; and even now ...read more
