    Contributed by Mark A. Barber on Aug 13, 2013
     | 7,038 views

    What is worship all about? Whom do we worship? How? It is not in Spirit and in Truth. The two are covered by one preposition. Truth and Spirit cannot be separated.

    If the word of God is not bearing fruit in your life, you're not studying the word of God; you're not hearing the word of God; you're not receiving the word of God.

    Let me ask three questions before we start this message: 1. If the gospel is the power of God—why doesn't everybody that hears the gospel become a Christian? 2. If the Bible is the Word of God—why doesn't the Bible have the same effect on everyone who reads it? 3. If Jesus is the Son of ...read more

    The Dust Is Turned To Lice Series

     | 1,536 views

    This Plague came from the land, as the two former came from the river. Aaron "smote the dust of the earth, and it became lice (“Kinnim”) in man, and in beast"(ver. 17). This was a new blow at Egyptian idolatry because the earth was worshipped as well as the river.

    The Dust is Turned to Lice (Exodus 8:16-19) Exodus 8:16-19 (NIV) Then the LORD said to Moses, “Tell Aaron, ‘Stretch out your staff and strike the dust of the ground,’ and throughout the land of Egypt, the dust will become gnats.” They did this, and when Aaron stretched out his hand with the staff ...read more

That was the closest bone to the heart. 2. Tonight, we will apply the function of the physical heart to that of the ...read more
