     | 3,927 views

    The lesson gives every believer the assurance that Faith in God will work for any one regardless of race, creed or color. This Gentile woman was an outsider, considered no more than a puppy or a house pet, yet her faith made this miracle possible. Faith moves beyond limitations.

    Prayer And The Chronically Unhappy

    Contributed by Joseph Smith on Apr 21, 2010
    based on 4 ratings
     | 7,099 views

    For Reformation Sunday, October 1987: Job in the Old Testament and Luther in the Reformation Era were chronically unhappy people, but used that as a form of spiritual energy to drive them toward creative achievement and an honest personal faith.

    It looks as though some people are just born to be unhappy. There are some people who are going to approach nearly everything with a complaint or a gripe, who are going to make a personal issue out of everything. Nothing is quite good enough, nothing quite satisfies. There are folks whose ...read more

    Being faithful to God includes being faithful in prayer. To be faithful in prayer requires that we understand that prayer is expected, effective and must not be exhausted.

    But Nails Hurt! Series

    based on 87 ratings
     | 13,100 views

    Nails were distributed to the congregation, so that they could test: if you wish to endure, you have to endure some pounding. Holes may be punched in you, too. But if you persist, ultimately you will be built up.

    If you really want to grow, it’s going to cost you. If you truly expect to be built up, there will be some pain involved. No growth ever takes place without pain. That’s a law of life. That’s not negotiable. No pain, no gain. No hurt, no growth. No rough edges, no building up. If you truly ...read more

    We Have Nothing

    After Jesus taught His disciples to pray, He shared some parables about our persistence in prayer and the certainty of God’s great gift in answer--the Holy Spirit.

    For someone who doesn’t have a lot to be proud of, I’m afraid that I have to confess that I have acted with pride far too often in my life. Now, I don’t mean that I’ve surrounded myself with a “posse” of fans and supporters. I don’t mean that I’ve deliberately put anybody down or ignored them ...read more
