    Hearing The Voice Of God

    Contributed by Jm Raja Lawrence on Sep 22, 2025
     | 390 views

    Through Elijah's obedience and a widow's desperation, we discover how spiritual static blocks God's voice while positioning ourselves correctly opens heaven's communication channel in our daily lives.

    Hearing the Voice of God Hebrews 1:1-2; 1 Kings 17:8-15 Introduction Have you ever stood in a crowded room where everyone's talking at once? You know someone's calling your name, but you can't quite make out their voice through all the noise. That's what life feels like sometimes, ...read more

    The Unstoppable Invitation Of Jesus Christ Series

    Contributed by Scott Maze on Oct 23, 2024
     | 1,032 views

    Jesus pops up to speak in the middle of everyone on a major holiday with seemingly nowhere to go. Why would He risk His life? Why would He place Himself in such a dangerous position? Jesus risks everything to give us a gift that changes everything.

    Have you heard someone say, “I wouldn’t bet the farm on that if I were you?” There are many things in life we CANNOT count on. You CANNOT count on a politician’s promise. You CANNOT count on the weatherman’s forecast. And you cannot count on the pastor when he says, “I’ll be just one more minute.” ...read more

     | 3,302 views

    At times it’s the kind of person that we say, “Oh, my goodness we’ve got to get a gift because they gave me a gift. And I hope this is about the same cost.” Kind of a tit for a tat. And so when we think of God, we think of grace and we say, “There’s no wa

    Revenge-we’ve probably all plotted it at one point or another. We’ve lived out the famous saying, “don’t get mad-get even!” We think revenge will make us feel better. We think through revenge we right the wrong. Let’s take a look at the dangers of revenge

     | 333 views

    Boasting is a major problem to be overcome but Paul was very clear about his position on it. Only in the cross of Jesus Christ would he boast. We open up this subject of boasting in this message with a good number of scriptures. God forbid that I should boast!

    29 THE BOOK OF GALATIANS – CHAPTER 6:14 - Message 29 – WHAT DID PAUL REALLY BOAST IN? PAUL AND BOASTING EXAMINED. WE OUGHT TO FOLLOW SUIT This matter of boasting is a vexed problem in scripture and Paul had a lot to say about it. I want to examine how it affected the Apostle and then to look ...read more

    Simon magus, also known as Simon the Sorcerer or the Magician, was a religious figure whose confrontation with Peter is recorded in Acts 8:9–24. The act of simony, or paying for the position, is named after Simon, who tried to buy his way into the power of the Apostles.

    Buy a Hallmark card and it will picture a beautiful scene and give a positive message. But not everyone experiences a Hallmark Christmas. Some people have problems, and as we look at scripture, we discover that one of the original characters of Christmas has a big problem. His name is Joseph.

    Matthew 17:19-20 – Why Don’t I Have Enough Faith? Series

    Contributed by Ross Cochrane on Oct 8, 2014
    based on 1 rating
     | 9,993 views

    Is faith just optimism draped in impotence? Jesus faith is positive and powerful? Is their faith a bonsai faith, kept small and so stunted that it is inept; dwarfed by the enormity of circumstances that are in need of a miracle? How could this be? Midget faith is not mustard seed faith!

    Matthew 17:19-20 – WHY DON’T I HAVE ENOUGH FAITH? Why are some people healed and others not healed? Is it my faith that is deficient? Jesus is asked a similar question by His disciples when they had not been able to heal a little boy. In Matthew 17:19-20 (NLT) they ask “Why ...read more

     | 1,293 views

    Reuben had a great destiny as the firstborn of Jacob, but his moral failure and instability led to his downfall. His life teaches us that position alone does not determine greatness—it is character, self-control, and responsibility that shape our destiny.
