    It’s alarming to think of the numbers of people who don’t crack the cover of their Bibles from Sunday to Sunday. Some don’t even generate enough energy to pick it out of the pew and follow the reading, because the sense of its contents holds no interest a

    based on 4 ratings
     | 28,406 views

    Very few things in life are unstoppable. The only truly unstoppable force in this world comes from God. The Spirit of God makes His Church, His people, and His purpose unstoppable.

    What do you think of when you hear the word, UNSTOPPABLE? A couple of years ago, a popular business magazine came out with an article called 30 Behaviors of Unstoppable People. Is that even possible? Are there any truly unstoppable people in the world? I have known some people who thought they ...read more

     | 7,166 views

    The chorus of witnesses that went ahead of us calls us, by their example to live lives of faith, with one eye set on our eternal home and one eye set right here and now on the mission field we call our lives.

    August 7, 2016 - Hebrews 11 - Faith Acts - August 7, 2016 All of us believe and all of us also don’t believe. A big part of what defines our lives is what we believe and what we don’t believe. No one here believes everything. If you did, you’d be mightily confused because of ...read more

    Message introduces study of book of Zechariah focusing on THEME and HISTORICAL CONTEXT. Zechariah's message is highly relevant today. As theme suggests, it is a message of hope for God's people!

    Today I want to begin opening the book of Zechariah to you. For all practical purposes, this book and other minor prophets are closed books for most Christians. During our annual reading of the Bible, we read the words, but there is a vast difference between reading words and comprehending the ...read more

    As followers of Jesus we MUST stand firm in the struggle against evil just as Nehemiah did in his work of rebuilding the walls of Jerusalem.

    Matthew 7:24-27 (ESV) 24 “Everyone then who hears these words of mine and does them will be like a wise man who built his house on the rock. 25 And the rain fell, and the floods came, and the winds blew and beat on that house, but it did not fall, because it had been founded on the rock. 26 And ...read more

    With the enemy at the door, the government out of control, stuck in the mud, Jeremiah down in a muddy cistern, stuck up to his arm pit with no way out, God still had a way out! Can ordinary people made a difference?
