    Navigating The Ebb And Flow

    Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Dec 24, 2024

    Jesus shared words to help John's disciples navigate change, as they were dealing with the loss of their leader. He also addressed the change of grace over legalism. This passage can be applied to change within the church.

EIGHT POINTS CONNECTED WITH FORGIVENESS FOR OUR ASSURANCE INTRODUCTION TO FORGIVENESS To begin, I am going to paste here a parable the Lord gave, all related to forgiveness.

    The Gifts Of The Holy Spirit – The Gifts Of Power

    Contributed by Imelda Mesa on Sep 27, 2022
     | 1,483 views

    when we think of power in the context of God, we think of God's nature, character, and abilities to make the impossible possible, to make great things greater and grander. When we think of God's power, we think of the acts of God!

    In a natural sense, when we think of power, we think of explosives; we think of something that can break a hard wall into tiny pieces. When we think of power, we think of natural abilities to create or influence something, either good or bad. But, when we think of power in the context of God, we ...read more
