     | 6,312 views

    Sometimes our own expectations get in the way of us enjoying God’s pleasure in us.

    Last week in our Mountain Moment series, we considered the "Mountain of Choice" as we looked at Elijah’s showdown on Mt. Carmel with the prophets of Baal. One man stood against the darkness of a nation. One man represented God when no one else would. When you look at Elijah’s encounter with the ...read more

    The Longsuffering Of God

    Contributed by Rodney Johnson Sr., on Apr 30, 2012
    based on 5 ratings
     | 11,596 views

    If God was not longsuffering, the bible would've ended in three chapters. No one would've been here to read it except God and the unfallen angels. Oh how He loved us so! I am alive today for one reason; "The Longsuffering of God".

    Introduction: This is a subject near and dear to my heart. When I consider how much God loves me, my soul cringe within. I could be dead, but for the longsuffering of God. I have been through numerous experiences that placed my life on the verge of death. The Lord has delivered me from the mouth ...read more

    How can we be faithful like Daniel?

    Hebrews 11:6 states, “And without faith it is impossible to please God, because anyone who comes to him must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who earnestly seek him.” Do we believe in God? Do we desire a good life? Faith is the key to life! God tells us in His Word, Christians are ...read more

    Nehemiah was a man of prayer. A man with a heavy heart because something in his world was unchanged. Nehemiah 1:1-4

    The Bible is full of them, from Moses all the way to Paul, every single one of them changed their world around them. I have many favourite stories in the Bible but the most amazing one I have read yet is about a man named Nehemiah. Nehemiah wasn’t a priest, prophet, warrior, or a king, he was ...read more

     | 8,565 views

    2 Peter chapter 1 instructs us to live a diligent faith, one which continues to grow from the time we accept Christ as our personal Savior and Lord. In the process, Peter shares in this chapter 7 attributes we grow in as we become more spiritually mature.

    This is a focus on Jesus and his teaching about how God answers prayer. Sometimes he answers with Presents (gifts/literal blessings) and sometimes he answers with something better, his Presence.

    1. Many Uses for Prayer A young man goes into a drug store to buy 3 boxes of chocolate. The pharmacist asks, ”What size, small medium or large?” "One of each." he said, "I’ve been seeing this girl for a while and she’s really beautiful.

    There will be obstacles, setbacks, challenges throughout our lives. It’s especially true if you are on a quest for the Lord. By developing tenacity, we can give ourselves the fuel to keep going. It will help in the short term to overcome the daily distractions.

    Over the last two weeks, we have discussed two of the important aspects of developing the quality of Tenacity - Connection and Control. The definition of the word is: the quality or fact of being able to grip something firmly; the quality or fact of being very determined; the quality or fact of ...read more
