    The consequences when we have a power failure in our Christian lives.

    “Power Failures” never come at a convenient time. They usually come in the middle of a good movie that you’ve been waiting to watch or you’ve really gotten into. I remember one time I was watching a movie that was like four hours long and three and a half hours into the movie the cable ...read more

    God allowed the Joshua and the Israelites to be defeated by the people of Ai the first time and then gave them the victory when the next time when they set things right before God. There are some godly principles we need to follow so we can have success and avoid failures in life.

    Today’s meditation is based on Joshua 7:4, “So about 3,000 men from the people went up there, but they fled before the men of Ai.” (TLV) When the people of Israel were confronted with the mighty city of Jericho, they trusted God, obeyed His counsel, and thereby experienced an astounding victory. ...read more

    No one is perfect. Even the greatest of Biblical characters are sinners. When Abraham faced the first crisis since deciding to walk with God, he defaulted to his old ways of falsehood rather than walking by faith.

    Introduction: A. The story is told of a young boy who came home from practice all decked out in his baseball outfit. 1. Cheerfully, his mom asked him, “How did Little League go?” 2. The little boy growled, “Terrible! I struck out three times!” 3. Trying to console her son, his mom said, “That’s ...read more

    This month, we began studying the Gospel of John. John most likely wrote this Gospel around 70 AD, about 40 years after Jesus Christ walked the earth.

    Failures can be transformed into victories if we only learn how to persevere and correct our mistakes. In this study, we will look on how Joshua faced his past failure and conquer that small city of Ai resulting into deeper commitment to serve God.

    Have you ever failed before? Of course, we all do because we are human beings of flesh and blood. We all face failures in life. We all have failed at some point in life. But it is what you do after you failed that counts. Because there are people after failing lose sight of the goal, never correct ...read more
