    Contributed by Efe Oluwatosin on Jun 26, 2024
     | 773 views

    There is always hope as long as we are alive. The gates to both life and hell are open continuously, allowing for the possibility to transition from one to the other at any given time.

    Matthew 7:13-14 “You can enter God’s Kingdom only through the narrow gate. The highway to hell is broad, and its gate is wide for the many who choose that way. But the gateway to life is very narrow, and the road is difficult, and only a few ever find it.” Regardless of how far one may have ...read more

    Sometimes reading the Bible can be difficult. Why should we even read it? If if we convince ourselves to open it, where do we start.

    ***Open the time with all the lights out and the room completely dark. Begin to lightly toss stones up front so that the thud can be heard by the group*** The first five books of the Old Testament are called the Torah which is what the Jews look to as their Bible.

    The news events of this past week have been interesting to say the least. Men like the Rev. Jessie Jackson step down while other men like John Ashcroft step forward. The appointment of Senator John Ashcroft to be our nation’s Attorney General is unprecedented. Senator Ashcroft is a devout ...read more

    When life falls apart, God’s unseen hand still weaves redemption—turning famine into harvest, bitterness into blessing, and emptiness into grace-filled return.

    Introduction — When the soul runs out of fuel It happens slowly. You don’t crash in a single day. First, it’s the mornings that come too soon. You lie there, staring at the ceiling, trying to remember what it used to feel like to wake up with joy. Then the evenings grow heavy. You sit in silence ...read more

     | 1,736 views

    It depends on your heart. The seat of who you are, and your decision making. The heart. It’s about what is in your heart. And what influences your heart has taken in, what is your desire, what is your life pointed at? Where have you taken your heart in your choices?

    I was over at cone zone ice cream on Saturday. And I was pulling through the drive through. On the front of my vehicle I have a license plate that says “Jesus Christ is the answer.” I saw a lady with her son look at the license plate and scowl and I could read her lips she said, “no it isn’t.” And ...read more

    Faith And Fear

    Contributed by Don Baggett on Nov 30, 2007
    based on 3 ratings
     | 10,789 views

    The opposite of faith is fear. Fear is the fruit of unbelief, and it opens the door of your life to the devil. Sixty three times in the Bible, the Lord used the phrase, “Fear not.”

    Faith opens the door of your life to God. Ephesians 2:8 says that our salvation is comes by God’s grace, through our faith. No one could honestly study the ministry of Jesus upon this earth and miss the fact that He honored people’s faith. Hebrews 13:5 says, “Jesus Christ, the same yesterday, ...read more

     | 17,276 views

    God is a God of vengeance and He will judge sin and evil. We trust God and leave it to Him to execute perfect justice, and not take matters into our own hands.

    We have been reading the devastating influence of the house of Ahab, in Israel and also in Judah. • Ahab has died but his evil ways continued to permeate the land and corrupt the people.

    Revival starts where one heart turns—opening closed doors, cleansing hidden sin, and welcoming the Spirit’s rain until joy returns again.

    Introduction — The Long Wait for Rain Sometimes revival doesn’t arrive with thunder. Sometimes it seeps in quietly—like rain through hard, cracked ground.
