Scripture: Luke 9:62
Denomination: Baptist
God’s justice and faithfulness empower us to pray boldly, resist the enemy, and finish the year with steadfast faith and triumphant praise.
Friends, as we gather today, I sense a hush of holy expectation. The kind that settles the soul and steadies the heart. The year has been full of peaks and potholes, headlines and heartaches, but here we are—still held, still hearing the whisper of a faithful God. Some of us carry victories we ...read more
Scripture: Isaiah 34:8, Luke 21:22
Topics: Enemy Defeat, Judgment
The cross of Jesus Christ and His resurrection changed everything FOREVER! To know this is power. The strength of the enemy’s power over the believer is only to the extent of the knowledge of Christ and His finished work that you know.

This is critical to underscore because, often times believers come to God in prayer with the notion or mentality of praying in order to obtain victory in the area of their need. This is not a New Testament or the ...read more

Scripture: Matthew 5:44
At first glance the book of Numbers reads a bit like an operations manual. It’s got numbers of soldiers, lists of names, and a bit of repetition. Tucked between those lists and numbers are some stories of real people, dealing with real issues of faith!

Scripture: Numbers 16:1-35
No matter how hard we try, we know that there are going to be flaws & blemishes in our life. We know that we are not without sin because the Bible tells us so. So let’s take a look at the subject of love.
If there is one thing the world really needs to know more about, & to put into practice, it is "love." How often Jesus tells us to love one another. In John 15:12 He commanded us to love one another. In fact "love" is so important that Jesus devoted a whole section of the Sermon on the Mount to ...read more

Tuesday of 11th Week in Course 2019 Ss Mark and Marcellian Those who would reduce the status of Jesus Christ to that of a “nice guy who did good things and said nice things” should read this part of St. Matthew’s Gospel several times.
