    Contributed by George Durham on Mar 2, 2016

He says, "The Son of Man is being handed over to the hands of men, & they will kill him; & when he is killed, on the third day he will rise again" (Mark 9:31). Now, ...read more

    The Via Dolorosa – The Universality Of Suffering (5/12) Series

    Contributed by Eduardo (Eddie) Fernandes on Jun 17, 2020
     | 3,818 views

    Suffering is universal. Everyone experiences it. None escape it. It is part and parcel of the human condition. Many Evangelicals love to focus on “health/wealth/blessings” forgetting to teach the other “side of the coin”. As such people are ill-equipped to deal with life’s many harsh blows.

    Conquering Our Mountains

    Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Feb 17, 2022
    based on 1 rating
     | 10,492 views

    In a spiritual sense, a mountain can represent any obstacle that stands in the way of victory. This message looks at how to overcome the obstacles and trials that are trying to pull us down into the valley of hardship and defeat below.

    In the Christian walk we often refer to “entering the valley” and “having mountaintop experiences.” The valleys are the low points in our life, and those times in which we experience hardship and trials. King David said in Psalm 23:4, “Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, ...read more
