    In this message I don't want to speak about the benefits of waiting on the Lord, but what exactly does it mean to wait on the Lord. If we do the waiting right, we will get the rewards right. We will be sowing into a “Suddenly,” moment.

    Waiting Upon the Lord Isa 40:31 But they that wait upon the LORD shall renew [their] strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; [and] they shall walk, and not faint. The benefits of waiting upon the Lord: Inward strength - they shall renew their strength ...read more

     | 5,699 views

    What do I do if God isn't answering my prayers?

    Does God answer all prayer? What does your experience tell you? Most of us have had the experience where our prayers “didn’t seem to get past the ceiling.” But what does the Bible tells us? There are times when God does not acknowledge our prayers. Let me first say though that ...read more

     | 11,761 views

    The Bible says that in the heart of every Christian, there is a nature that points to the bright side and another on the dark side of man. Our goal is that we will not just focus on our strength of character but also improve our weaknesses.

    That great Scottish author, Robert Louis Stevenson published an interesting novel in 1886 entitled, The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde.

    Seed The Clouds Youth Sermon

    Contributed by Youth Sermons on Sep 5, 2023
    based on 4 ratings
     | 698 views

    To seed the clouds, we need to have a prophetic imagination, which means seeing the invisible, hearing the inaudible, and believing the impossible. We need to persist in prayer and trust that God is working behind the scenes.

    Have you ever heard of cloud seeding? It's this crazy science experiment where they make it rain by putting stuff into clouds. Back in 1946, a dude named Vincent Schaeffer made it snow by seeding clouds with dry ice. But guess what? This idea isn't new. Even the prophet Elijah did it. Even the ...read more
