    God’s Goal In Bringing Hardship Series

     | 3,885 views

    It's shocking to many that God sometimes is the cause of hardship in our lives. When that happens, what is He hoping to accomplish?

    “HE SAID WHAT?!”: Sometimes hardship is from God. - Amos 4:6-12. - This passage might have been shocking to you. “What do you mean God did all these things?” Today we sometimes think of Him exclusively as a kindly grandfather who would never say a cross word to anyone. That, however, is not ...read more

    The Difference Series

    Many people wonder what the big deal is about Jesus' resurrection since there have been other people who woke up from the dead. Jesus, however, is different from everyone else. He is the only one who rose and never did again. Halleluiah!

    So what Jesus resurrected? Has he been the only one who has ever been raised from death? Yes, to this question, there is no big deal because so many other people have been raised from death. Example before Jesus: • The widow of Zarephath’s son - 1 Kings 17:22 • The Shunamite’s son - 2 Kings ...read more

    Those who remain devoted to God and who love, revere, and honor Him, will be remembered by Him.

    Some For A Reason, Some For A Season, And Some For A Lifetime

    Contributed by Anthony Sosa on Jan 14, 2025

     | 1,376 views

    Have you ever wondered why God places certain people in your life or calls you to a specific task? Some callings are meant to fulfill a specific purpose, others to last only for a season, and a few are designed to span a lifetime—all serving God’s greater plan for His kingdom.

    Some for a REASON, some for a SEASON, and some for a LIFETIME The concept that “God calls some into a specific ministry for a reason, some for a season, and some for a lifetime” reflects the biblical understanding of the variety, purpose, and timing of God’s callings. Throughout Scripture, we see ...read more
