Contributed by Tim Smith on Feb 26, 2012

?” People with a great life purpose reach forward with great expectations. Here’s the good news: God is able to abundantly exceed all that we ask or think. Said another way: your expectations will never be so great that God is not able to more than meet

Conquering The Giants In Our Lives

Contributed by Benjamin Utomo on Feb 3, 2021

Like the ancient Israelites, we have been set free from the slavery of sin and now are heading to the Promised "Land." We face various "giants" of problems personally, in the family, and from society against biblical truth.

I Can't! I Can't! Will This Giant Define Me?

Contributed by Wade Martin Hughes, Sr on Aug 26, 2021

Caleb, The Wholehearted Dreamer

Contributed by Otis Mcmillan on Oct 6, 2021

Wholly following the Lord can be boiled down to three words. Trust and obey. Others in the Bible did that, but only Joshua and Caleb are immortalized for it. They are the example to follow. Any of us can wholly follow the Lord. All of us should.

Introduction: If you describe someone as a dreamer, you might mean that they spend a lot of time thinking about and planning for things that they would like to happen, but which are improbable or impractical in their own strength. Caleb was dreamer who was connected to a dream making God. God ...read more

Failure To Launch Series

Contributed by Gordon Pike on Nov 14, 2021

Grasshoppers Or Overcomers?
