For example, they say, “You know you’re going to have a bad day if you wake up feeling sick (35%), if you suffer from poor sleep (31%), or if you start the day with a headache (29%).” ...read more

    We have to remind many people to pray because the devil will see to it that our lives are filled with people and things so we do not have time to even think about praying.

     | 3,254 views

    Peter, in Luke chapter 22, fails the Lord miserably.

    In the life of the child of God, failure need never be final. You should never really be defeated by failure. The truth is, you can be the victor over life’s failure rather than its victims. Because as a believer in Jesus Christ, victory is your spiritual birth-right. Now we live in a day that we ...read more

     | 1,236 views

    Five practical benefits of understanding Romans 4 are shared. The theme of justification by faith is contrasted with justification by works which is characteristic of false religions and cults. The grace teaching in Romans 4 is essential in evangelism and forms the foundation for Christian living.

Those are available on our YouTube channel for anyone who wants to review them.i Romans is a book that cannot by properly understood without giving detailed attention ...read more

    Christmas was just the beginning of a round-trip that Jesus took from heaven to earth and back to heaven. Jesus went from sitting on a throne, to laying in a manger, to hanging on a tree. He went from being a king with a crown, to a baby with diapers, to a criminal on the cross

    The widow's offering. 4 verses, we often breeze through them and pull out a few tried and true statements about giving. But a deeper look gives many more principles to apply.

    Here's what I want us to see: this is part of a bigger story. This isn't just a talk about giving, but it's a continuation of what's been happening with the scribes and Pharisees. To fully understand this set of verses, we actually have to back up to the last couple of verses of ...read more
