    We even fear commitment to areas that demand commitment to make them work from marriage, to raising children, to deep friendships, to discipleship & to following Jesus. God though wants us to make the right commitments in life. So God sent Jesus on a gre

    OVERCOMING YOUR FEAR OF COMMITMENT LUKE 9:57-62 Our society has a fear of commitment. We’d rather bail out than blast through. We’d rather leave than last.

    Patience: Overcoming The Frenzied Life Series

    Contributed by Scott Maze on Feb 5, 2023
     | 2,890 views

    By a show of hands, are you by nature a patient person? If you were to assign a percentage to your level of patience, what would it be? Is anyone at 100% on the patience level? Let me encourage you today by saying this no one is born patient. For patience is a work of the Holy Spirit.

    When you see a patient person, you’ve seen something rare. For it takes supernatural power to be patient. We live in a world obsessed with speed. We become angry if the video doesn’t download immediately or the fast food lines take too long. And who likes waiting in a doctor’s office, or waiting ...read more

    Kamran was a violent man who sold drugs & weapons in Iran. A friend gave him a New Testament, & for 5 consecutive days, Kamran devoured it. He soon gave his life to Christ. Where Kamran used to sell drugs and weapons, a church now met in his home.

    It seems as if corruption and scandal is everywhere these days. Goodness and faithfulness are rare commodities in our day. If goodness and faithfulness were sold on the mercantile exchange in Chicago, their very rarity would cause their prices to soar to unprecedented heights. Scandals are ...read more
