    Is the hand of God with you during good times, or maybe, God has brought you to terrible times as well. Why would the hand of God leave us in difficult times?

    The right place at the right time. Coincidence? Happenstance? Good fortune? The wrong place at the wrong time. Bad luck? Fate? Accidental? When an amazing and wonderful thing happens in our life we say that the hand of God was certainly with us….does that mean that when something bad happens in ...read more

    In today's sermon we see that though Christians encounter opposition, they also experience assurance.

To that end we have answered three questions: 1. Who is Jesus? 2. Why did Jesus come? 3. What does ...read more

    based on 3 ratings
     | 4,496 views

    We divorce-proof our marriages when we stop looking for loopholes (or reasons to separate). Instead, we must look to the Lord, committing our selves first to Him then to our mates.

    Gary Thomas, in his book, Sacred Marriage, tells the story of a businessman who moved over slightly as a young man crowded into the airplane seat next to him. They both fastened their seat belts, and the businessman good-naturedly asked as to whether the young man was traveling on business or ...read more

    Contributed by Donnie Martin on Jan 19, 2010
    based on 4 ratings
     | 10,157 views
