    The Blame Game!

    Contributed by Brandon Max on Oct 26, 2021
    based on 1 rating
     | 4,956 views

    You know what "The Blame Game" is don’t you? Because we’ve all played it! Admittedly some of us play it a lot more than others, but it’s really all just a game of personal deflection. It involves blaming everything and everyone else (including God) for what is transpiring in your own life

    “THE BLAME GAME” Tonight we are going to take a brief interlude away from our ongoing study on... “...Those things which are most surely believed among us” (Luke 1:1) And instead, we’re going to talk about a little thing – I like to call “The Blame Game”. You know what The Blame Game is – don’t ...read more

    Contributed by Rodney V Johnson on Sep 27, 2020
    based on 1 rating
     | 8,586 views

    This message is about Repentrance - what it means in Scripture and how it starts with the heart versus the mouth. True repentance is not just saying you're sorry , it's actually being sorry and willing to stop and change.

    What It Means To Repent Scripture: Matthew 3:1-2; 4:17; Mark 6:12; Acts 2:38; 3:19 Second Chronicles 7:14 says, “If My people, who are called by My name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek My face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their ...read more
