     | 8,190 views

    There was a game that we use to play as kids, back in the time when kids actually went outside to play. The name of the game that we use to play was called Hide-N-Seek; some may remember it as touch the tree or kick the can.

     | 34,524 views

    Encouragement means coming alongside and inputting courage. Where courage has faded away, encouragement is the putting back or refilling of courage. The leaders of the early church gave one man, Barnabas, the nickname "Son of encouragement".

    A look at the virtues of salvation every Born-Again Christian must intentionally grow in.

    At the moment of salvation, every Born-Again Christian put on "Christ," the "breastplate of faith and love,” and the “helmet of salvation" (1 Thess 5:8-9 ESV; Rom 13:145; Gal 3:27). We are implored to daily "put on": - The Armor of light (Rom 13:12) – To honor Jesus. ...read more

    When Our Heart Walk After Our Eyes

    Watch your eyes and heart with great diligence. Guard your eyes lest they ensnare your heart. Look to your hearts, lest they be ensnared by your eyes. Where the eye is full of adultery, the heart is full of it too.

    WHEN OUR HEART WALK AFTER OUR EYES " If my step has turned out of the way, and my heart walked after mine eyes, and if any blot has cleaved to mine hands;" (JOB 31:7) Can the heart walk after the eyes? OR Can the eye misled the heart? That's the question that comes across your ...read more

    The Importance Of Faith Series

    Paul anticipates the Judaizers next objection since they were huge fans of the law of Moses. In general, they recognized the importance of the Abrahamic covenant, but they gave priority to the Mosaic covenant. This led them to emphasize law over faith.

    INTRO: We have seen the interrogation of faith and the illustration of faith and today we’ll see the importance of faith. Next week is the identity of faith. What Paul has been hammering home in Galatians is that we are saved by faith and not by works. This is the distinguishing hallmark of ...read more

    We look at the 5 reasons we should overlook insults: To aid the new nature, to seek Truth, because we consider its source, because we only seek God's approval, and to show our revilers God's grace.

    While God May Be Found (July 17, 2022)

    Contributed by John Williams Iii on Jul 15, 2022
     | 2,343 views

    Who would argue against the understanding that we live in a day when many take God for granted? One thing that eighth chapter of Amos makes clear is that moving away from God invites destruction. The opening image of ripe fruit cuts to the chase as a metaphor for God’s judgement.

    WHILE GOD MAY BE FOUND Texts: Isaiah 55:6, Amos 8:1- 2, 8:11- 12 Isaiah 55:6 Seek the Lord while He may be found; call upon Hime while He is near Amo 8:1 This is what the Lord GOD showed me: behold, a basket of summer fruit. 2 And he said, “Amos, what do you see?” And I said, “A basket of ...read more
