It’s a wonderful, romantic fairy tale of a beautiful girl falling in love with a handsome, rich and dashing prince, overcoming insurmountable odds to be ...read more

    Sermon deals with the meaninglessness of life without God, then expounds the three objectives God is always pursuing in the believer's life. Knowing these three objectives helps the Christian interpret life's events in a biblical way.

    Intro In this message, I want to give you a framework for understanding the events that occur in your life. What is God always doing in your life? Why does he have you here on planet earth? What is the real meaning and purpose of life? The Bible gives answers to these profound questions, and those ...read more

    The Ministry Of Signs And Wonders

    Contributed by Dr. Craig Nelson on Apr 8, 2019
    based on 5 ratings
     | 16,969 views

    Jesus said the supernatural Signs and Wonders are to “accompany those who believe” (Mark 16:17a NIV), and they should be fully understood by every Christian that they are to accompany them wherever they are.

    Many within the church believe that after the Apostles died and their writings were collected in the New Testament, the place of Signs and Wonders in evangelism has passed, and Christians should not pursue them today. This does not mean miracles don't happen. It just says they are not the ...read more

    Numbers 13 is about a report brought back by the Israelite spies about the land of Canaan, where they compared themselves to the giants in the land and felt like grasshoppers in their sight, showcasing the crippling effect of fear and lack of faith in pursuing God's promises

    Subject: Dare to Believe in the Faithfulness of God Scripture Lesson: Numbers 13:26-33 “to Moses, Aaron, and the whole community of Israel at Kadesh in the wilderness of Paran.

    Pressing Into His Presence Series

    Contributed by Robert Higgins on Sep 18, 2007
    based on 17 ratings
     | 31,358 views

    Worship is not merely a response to God, but it is also the pursuit of God. God pursues us, and yet for some odd reason, He seems to be just beyond our grasp when we seek Him. The pressing into His Presence is the choice of our will to worship Him.

    Encountering God - Part 2 – Pressing Into His Presence Overview Last week, I laid a foundation for what I believe to be the biblical nature of worship, starting with the fact that God has created mankind to worship Him. That worship arises from a relationship with Him. The bible says in the ...read more

     | 1,009 views

    In a world saturated with deception and shifting opinions—even infiltrating the church—believers must stand firm in the timeless truth of God's Word, pursue godliness through disciplined devotion, and anchor their hope in Christ, who alone is the unchanging way, truth, and life.
