    The meaning of life for some with a secular mentality are power, popularity and success. For those of faith, they find meaning in life when they place all that they are and have in the Savior’s hands.

    The Good Shepherd PRO Sermon

    based on 3 ratings
     | 145 views

    Persistent prayer matters because God hears, cares, and responds in His perfect timing, inviting us to trust Him even when answers seem delayed.

    Some prayers are born in bright rooms with balloons and birthday cake. Others are born at 2:13 a.m., when the house is quiet, the questions are loud, and the pillow is wet. Some prayers feel like sprinting—fast, full of faith. Others feel like limping—slow, sore, and short on strength. If you’ve ...read more

    The Affliction Of Naomi Series

    based on 1 rating
     | 2,211 views

    The book of Ruth shows how God used three people to achieve his purpose. These three people had character and were true to God. It also tells the story of how God’s grace was given during a challenging time. We can see that Naomi used her life as a witness for God and it touch others.

    In verses 1-3: The story of Ruth happens at some point during the time of the judges. These were dull days for Israel, when "every man did that which was right in his own eyes" (Judges 17:6, 21:25). Regardless, during those dim and fiendish occasions, there were still some who followed ...read more
