    Lessons From The Cave (1 Samuel 22:1-4)

    Contributed by Donald Whitchard on Sep 1, 2024
     | 1,638 views

    David was in the deepest time of his life. He lost his support network and on the run from Saul. He possessed nothing of material worth or value and all seemed lost. He hid in a cave, but it is in the cave where God prepared him for greater things.

    In his film, "Johnny Cash: The Redemption of an American Icon", Pastor Greg Laurie described the time where Mr. Cash had reached the lowest point of his life and career. He had become addicted to pills, which lead to an erratic and hostile behavior that cost him his first marriage, a ...read more

    More Than One Master? Series

    Contributed by Andrew Dixon on Apr 29, 2021

     | 2,969 views

    One of the important areas that Jesus spoke a lot about was the enslavement to money and material possessions. Money is essential for our basic needs and daily living, but we should be wary to not let money become our master. Here is a study on being under different masters!

    More than one master? We read like this in Matthew 6:24, “No man is able to be a servant to two masters: for he will have hate for the one and love for the other, or he will keep to one and have no respect for the other. You may not be servants of God and of wealth.” (BBE) In the above mentioned ...read more

    Q&A—What did Jesus say we were to possess if we were truly His disciples? Love for one another! Have you ever wanted to know the heart of Jesus? Listen to Jesus’ prayer—Not My will but Your will be done.

    Love That Multiplies. 1 John 3:14-15TPT Have you ever wanted to know the heart of Jesus? Listen to Jesus’ prayer—Not My will but Your will be done. Jesus knew His will might limit what His Father’s will was. The Trinity is always in cohorts. Q&A—What did Jesus say we were to possess if we ...read more

    The Beatitudes Of Christ (Part 2) Series

     | 3,779 views

    While many of the blessings Jesus speaks of appear to be contradictions, we must remember that God’s economy is much different than ours. The world views blessings based upon circumstances or material possessions. The Lord speaks of blessing in regard to our relationship with Him.

    The Basis of Blessing (Part 2) Matthew 5: 3-12 Today I would like to continue our study on the passage that is commonly referred to as the Beatitudes. Remember this is a Latin term that literally means “happiness or bliss.” Our Lord uses the word blessed nine times in this discourse. He is clearly ...read more

    We celebrate the values of Freedom by our Founding Fathers. And we celebrate the "freedom" from the fear of death because Jesus conquered death and proves His authority is from God, freeing people from demon possession, disease & death.

    Have you ever felt that deep longing—that ache in your soul—that no matter how much success you achieve, how many experiences you gather, or how many possessions you accumulate, it still doesn’t quite satisfy?

    Go! And Trust the God Who Makes Everything Beautiful in Its Time Ecclesiastes 3:11 (NLT): “Yet God has made everything beautiful for its own time. He has planted eternity in the human heart, but even so, people cannot see the whole scope of God’s work from beginning to end.” Introduction – The ...read more

    Mary loved Jesus and was willing to pour herself out for Him. She was willing to pour the most valuable possession she had and poured it out on Jesus. Worship is pouring yourself out. It is laying down your life in honor of One who is greater than you.
