    Has anyone here ever grown fruit trees? Maybe an apple tree or a cherry tree.

    What Your Tongue Saya About You

    Contributed by Terry Frazier on Oct 27, 2013
     | 7,209 views

    We get mad when people say nasty things about us but what about what we say to ourselves? Too many times we allow satan to tear us down from the inside out and to use our thoughts against us. Believers need to bring every thought unto captivity to Christ.

    What Your Tongue Says About You There have been countless sermons preached on the power of the tongue. I have preached a few of them myself over the years and many of those sermons were talking about how what we say affects other people and that’s very important because what we say to and ...read more

    Who would have thought that we could learn a lesson from a leper? And who would have thought that the lesson we would learn from him would be in the area of gratitude? But somehow the leper in this story today teaches us three important lessons about th

    Though we fall again and again, it is the getting up that marks the true child of God. So, we offer our lives in surrender to Christ’s purpose. The waters of our baptism renew in us the willing spirit that says, “Yes” to our own taking up the cross.

    God Is Love! Series

    How do you describe God's greatest attribute? LOVE!!! As the Bible has made many attempts on defining LOVE it is beyond comprehension. But it is Indescribable. incomprehensible, intimate, eternal, perfect, pure, unconditional, intimate, forgiving, and sacrificial.

    How do we measure "Love"? By our feelings only? By actions of people in our lives? By what we do or say to another person? Love is NOT determined by it's receiving or in our giving. The Greek language gives us 3 words for love to help us to see the big picture of love. Eros is ...read more
