     | 10,945 views

    Love is an uncommon force that copes with suffering. By enduring the pain, sorrow and anger we are exhibiting God’s unconditional love. People who are mature in love endure the pain of selfish, critical and immature scoffers.

    Discovering Your Destiny In Christ Series

    Contributed by Manny Salva Cruz on Jul 11, 2016
     | 12,370 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.

    There is a vast difference between FATE and DESTINY. Fate is usually thought of as a predetermined course of events beyond the human control. 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

    Faith That Trusts God For A Way Out Series

    Contributed by Rev. Samuel Arimoro on May 30, 2025
     | 460 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. Such faith believes that with God, there is always a way—even when the road is blocked and the options are gone.

    based on 19 ratings
     | 14,806 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. The Bible tells us that "the fear of the Lord is the beginning of ...read more

    All vain-glory, ambition, ignorance, and pride, would be done away by one view of Christ in his glory. This awful vision of the Divine Majesty overwhelmed the prophet with a sense of his own vileness. We are undone if there is not a Mediator between us an
