    Caleb was resolute in his faith and objectives. He shows us that life is a matter of perspective. Where others saw obstacles, he saw opportunities.

    When I was in high school in New Jersey, I attended a church whose youth leader loved to sing an old-timey chorus: “I want that mountain, I want that mountain; where the milk and honey flow, where the grapes of Eschol grow. I want that mountain, I want that mountain, the mountain that the ...read more

     | 11,510 views

    In this final message of the OVERCOME series we will talk about what is perhaps the biggest and most unrelenting obstacle that we will have to overcome in life... ourselves

    Getting Over Yourself One day Jesus left the crowds to pray alone. AND BTW MGCC - that is a really good thing to do at times. To leave the noise and the crowd (yeah, they’ll be fine without you) and to get alone with God. IN FACT – for some in this room that is exactly what you need to do this ...read more

    Friends, welcome. Take a breath. Let your shoulders drop a bit.

    Davids Big Flaw

    Contributed by Art Campbell on Sep 5, 2007
    based on 4 ratings
     | 5,642 views

    David was a successful man - a warrior, poet and king. Yet he had one major flaw that was almost his undoing - his children. This message contrasts David’s great success with his great heartache.

    One of my favourite Bible heroes is King David. I’m sure you’re all familiar with the story of David and Goliath, the boy who bested a giant. But there’s a lot more to David’s life than this story. In many ways he’s the kind of man that many of us guys would like to be. David was marked out for ...read more

    November 18, 2023 Paul had no false hopes that he would be well received at Jerusalem.

    Hey friend, your success is not in your shrewd strategy, astute planning of prayer seminar, your anointing is not based on your Biblical knowledge (though it is necessary) your success is not based on who you are but on who He is!

    Goodness and mercy shall follow you! Psalm 23:6”Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life, and I shall dwell in the house of the LORD forever.” When Hillsong worship leader Darlene Joyce Zschech, walked on the stage, she brought along with her loads of ...read more

    Victory Is Where We Live

    Contributed by Barry O Johnson on Nov 25, 2017
    based on 1 rating
     | 10,934 views

    When it comes to the things of this world, God is not interested in how successful we are. Success can be measured. When it comes to the things of this world, God wants nothing less than complete, total and unquestioned victory for us.

    I don’t have any notes tonight because I’m going to read a little bit. There are many in the Body of Christ who, when they pray and nothing happens, they say to themselves “I just want to see a little success. I want to see something positive happen.” That is not what God is after. God is not ...read more
