God’s presence empowers us to release the past, trust Him with our present and future, and pursue Jesus as our ultimate prize.

Some of us walked in today with a calendar full of plans and a heart full of questions. Others came with a smile for the room and a sigh for the ride home. Life has a way of handing us seasons we didn’t pencil in—detours we didn’t expect, delays we didn’t schedule, and disappointments we didn’t see ...read more

Introduction: Expiration dates are printed on just about everything nowadays, even on soda pop cans. One place you will not find an expiration date, however, is on salt.

Victory Is Where We Live

When it comes to the things of this world, God is not interested in how successful we are. Success can be measured. When it comes to the things of this world, God wants nothing less than complete, total and unquestioned victory for us.

I don’t have any notes tonight because I’m going to read a little bit. There are many in the Body of Christ who, when they pray and nothing happens, they say to themselves “I just want to see a little success. I want to see something positive happen.” That is not what God is after. God is not ...read more

In this life, we will all experience our share of ups and downs, heartaches and pain. When we go through this pressure cooker called, "life" - we must understand that God promised us that He would never leave us, nor would He forsake us!

(New King James Version) 1 Kings 19:10-13 10) So he said ‘I have been very zealous for the Lord God of hosts; for the children of Israel have forsaken Your covenant, torn down Your altars, and killed Your prophets with the sword. I alone am left; and they seek to take my life.’ 11) ...read more

Why Reaching The Top Still Feels So Empty

Contributed by David Dunn on Nov 30, 2025

| 212 views

Success cannot heal the soul; only God’s whisper restores us. When we quit running, God meets us, feeds us, and makes us whole.

Part One There are moments in life when you do everything right—moments when the victory is undeniable, the applause is loud, the outcome is clear—and yet something inside you feels strangely hollow. It’s bewildering. You should feel triumphant, settled, validated. But instead, the deepest parts ...read more

| 11,738 views

Years ago I heard Dr. Adrian Rogers put it this way: “the heart of the human problem is the problem of the human heart.” I agree. In other words if you really want to see change take place, you have to change someone’s heart.

HEARTBEATS “The Heartbeat of Jesus” Matthew 6:21 I am sure that one thing all of us could agree on this morning is that our world is in deep trouble. America is in trouble and something has to be done. But what we might not agree on is what the solution actually is. Many of us would ...read more

Don’t Look Back!

Contributed by Ajai Prakash on Mar 18, 2010

based on 7 ratings

Why should Christians remember Lot’s wife? Just like Sodom and Gomorrah, before Christ’s return, the world will be saturated with evil. Christians are warned to come out of the world and not be a part of it.

Opening illustration: If a person sees a house on fire and does everything he can to rescue the occupants, he is heralded as a hero. And that’s the way it should be. Why is it, then, that a Christian who accepts what God says in the Bible about hell and tries to warn people is ridiculed as an ...read more
