    In this lesson we learn that submission is the essence of Christianity, and leads to the freedom from having to have our own way all the time.

    It seems that Jesus travels to the Gerasense for a specific purpose.

    It wasn't your typical day at the beach. Instead of beach umbrellas, lounge chairs and a sandcastle, we have a cemetery, a violent man, the supernatural, outraged citizens and pigs. And I'm pretty flexible, especially about beaches, but I draw the line at pigs on the beach. This is week four of ...read more

    The Unseen Battle Series

    Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on May 6, 2021

     | 9,421 views

    In addition to a prayer of repentance, Daniel also offered up a prayer for the release of the Jews from their captivity in Babylon. Yet, the answer to his prayer was delayed, and it had something to do with an unseen battle.

    In Daniel chapter 9 (which I said would be our last message in this series) we see where Daniel took it on himself to intercede on behalf of all the people of Israel who were in captivity in Babylon; and Daniel was just one individual, yet the Lord heard his supplication. Daniel’s prayer reminds ...read more
