What More Could I Have Done To My Vineyard That I Have Not Already Done?

Contributed by Byron Perrine on Jul 9, 2019

Contributed by Ross Cochrane on Feb 20, 2010

IT'S A COLLISION OF WORSHIP AND WILLINGNESS, OF SURRENDER AND SOVEREIGNTY. As I bow before Him as my Lord and Master, and articulate to Him what only He can do in my life, Jesus says "I am willing" and another mountain is moved.

Matthew 8:1-4 - Part 1 - WHEN MY WORSHIP AND HIS WILLINGNESS COLLIDE! I was a big kid in primary school. I matured before most other boys, and towered above them. Most kids stayed away from me.

Contributed by Ross Cochrane on Feb 1, 2010

Responding To Unfulfilled Prayer Series

Contributed by Kamalanathan Francis on Jun 8, 2021

A child of God releases healing and other deliverances from his life by the authority given by God. That same God exercises his ...read more

How Can I Ever Serve Christ Again? I Have Denied My Faith!

Contributed by Michael Stark on May 29, 2010

When we sin, is our service to Christ finished? He is not only able to restore broken saints, but to use them mightily in His service.

“When they had finished breakfast, Jesus said to Simon Peter, ‘Simon, son of John, do you love me more than these?’ He said to him, ‘Yes, Lord; you know that I love you.’ He said to him, ‘Feed my lambs.’ He said to him a second time, ‘Simon, son of John, do you love me?’ He said to him, ‘Yes, ...read more
