    based on 1 rating
     | 9,195 views

    Friend, unless you feel that you are doing a great work for the great God, we can never see explosion in our Christian circle!

    A Parable Of Chutzpah

    Contributed by Robert Leroe on May 3, 2015
     | 3,742 views

    We need to approach prayer with a sense of bold, unhesitating urgency--with chutzpah. We have no worries--unlike the grumpy, groggy neighbor, God never slumbers and is always happy to hear from us.

    Jesus gave His disciples the Model Prayer, and followed with a story about someone in need of “daily bread,” a parable that conveys the attitude our prayers should have—we should approach God an unhesitating sense of urgency. The story was a common situation for our Lord’s ...read more

     | 9,363 views

    God allowed/permitted/organized/orchestrated Elisha to see Elijah being taken up into heaven! This was not for curiosity, thrill or personal gratification – but for a higher purpose!

    Elisha saw Elijah being taken into heaven! 2 King 2:11,12”….Elijah went up by a whirlwind into heaven. 12 And Elisha saw it…….” Matthew 16:24 “Then Jesus said to His disciples, "If anyone wishes to come after Me, he must deny himself, and take up his cross and ...read more

    As we walk by faith, we may have to endure extended seasons waiting for the Lord to answer our prayer and move in our situation. If we remain faithful, God will answer in His time, according to His sovereign will.

    Series: Walking by Faith # 2 The Commitment of Hannah 1 Samuel 1: 1-20 More often than not, it is difficult to walk by faith.

    based on 1 rating
     | 4,810 views

    Let us study persistence and patience. One of the problems in the church is impatience. Russia thinks in terms of decades. China thinks in terms of centuries. The church expects instant gratification and overnight success.

     | 1,846 views

    Are we persistent in petitioning God? Or do we give up in frustration that he doesn’t answer our prayers?

In fact, as soon as she heard about him, a woman whose little daughter was possessed by an impure spirit came and ...read more

    What Are We To Do When Trouble Comes?

    Contributed by Chris Swanson on Feb 3, 2023
     | 1,469 views

    God is always there to assist us, offering safety, peace, and refuge. God’s power is unending, and the victory has already been won. Those who love Him will be rescued by Him.

    Psalm 46:1-11 This is another case of what Christians are supposed to do when they face a problem and what some might do. How Christians handle deal with a trouble can either positively or negatively affect others. Trust and thanksgiving are the primary topics in Psalm 46. It starts with solid ...read more

    When facing an enemy, we must be wearing the proper gear for battle.

    You cannot stand against the enemy without your battle rattle. You must be wearing the whole armor of God. The battle is not a natural one, therefore natural weapons are ineffective.

    The Problem That Did Not Prosper

    Contributed by Chris Swanson on Nov 24, 2022
     | 1,195 views

    We do not need to let our fears control us. By doing so we make our fears come in front of God. We need to recognize that God is stronger than our fears and when He has called us to do something, He will help us in doing that task.

    A Mind To Work

    Contributed by Chris Swanson on Dec 12, 2022
     | 1,335 views

    Disapproval and discouragement can result from ridicule. We should choose not to respond in the same manner or to become discouraged when we are ridiculed for our faith or criticized for doing what we know is right.

    Many years prior to Nehemiah’s time, the Northern Kingdom had been conquered and many were taken captive to other lands. The conquering nation introduced prisoners from other lands, which led to intermarriage with the few Israelites. This blending of the races produced the people known as the ...read more
