    Learning to trust God completely

    For the past 2 months, the song “The struggle is over” has resonated in my spirit. For the past 6 weeks, it has been the song of altar call as you petition God for an answer. This morning, Brother Melvin performed a praise dance to the same song that reveals the struggle is over. I petitioned ...read more

    Though freedom is often regarded as throwing off the restraints of religion, true freedom comes from obeying the scriptures.

    Upgrade To First Class I Series

    The thought that occurred to me this week is that we as believers are often satisfied flying “coach” when our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ died and rose again to offer us a “first class” ticket.

    Introduction: Today we are continuing our series of messages on the importance of love and unity in the Church. When we began two weeks ago we saw that the key to unity within the Body of Christ is love. That is why Paul said in Colossians 3:14—“Above all, put on love—the perfect bond of unity.” ...read more

    We begin by looking at the spiritual area of our lives. Is God really in control of our spiritual walk or do we just assume God is? What do we mean by spirituality and is this how God’s Word describes it?

    Moses at Meribah is a prime example of James’ statement that "the wrath of man worketh not the righteousness of God.’ Moses let himself get distracted and apparently never really learned his lesson.

    Numbers 20:1-13 James tells us something very important in James 1:19-20 “Wherefore, my beloved brethren, let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to wrath: For the wrath of man worketh not the righteousness of God.” The New International Version replaces the word “wrath” with ...read more
