    Discovering Your Destiny In Christ Series

    Contributed by Manny Salva Cruz on Jul 11, 2016
     | 12,061 views

    God has a good plan for our lives and we can discover our destiny in Christ by making daily decisions in submission to His Word through the power of the Holy Spirit. This is the lesson we can learn from the last chapter of Ruth.

A typical response of a person who believes in fate is resignation - if we can't change destiny, then why even try? Whatever happens, happens and we can't do ...read more

    based on 19 ratings
     | 14,540 views

    The infinity and limitlessness of God is beyond our ability to picture in our minds, yet we can embrace these truths of Scripture with our limited understanding and worship God all the more zealously as we become overwhelmed with Who He is.

    God’s infinity Introduction 1. Many folks do not take God seriously. 2. They joke about Him, misuse His Name as a figure of speech, or reserve Him for situations that parallel fire alarms: "in case of emergency, break glass." 3.

    Faith That Trusts God For A Way Out Series

    Contributed by Rev. Samuel Arimoro on May 30, 2025
     | 176 views

    Faith that trusts God for a way out does not rely on what is visible or logical. It clings to God’s promises, obeys His instructions, and stands firm even when all odds are against you.
