     | 9,464 views

    The four principles include a provision (salvation), a purpose (Canaan), a problem (flesh), and a principle (the victory is God-given).

    You’ll notice in your program a logo which represents the celebration that we’re having; and, there is a hand holding up a hand, and the caption there says “A Legend of Loyalty, a Vision for Victory.” That is taken from the 17th chapter of the Book of Exodus, and I’d ...read more

    This message was preached for my present church’s 40th Anniversary and it calls us to ’cross the Jordan’ and move into the "Land of Promise."

    ?” People with a great life purpose reach forward with great expectations. Here’s the good news: God is able to abundantly exceed all that we ask or think. Said another way: your expectations will never be so great that God is not able to more than meet

    Great Expectations Numbers 13: 1-3, 17-33; Philippians 2:12 In the United States right now, the average life expectancy is 76 years old. So write down 76, and subtract your age. How many years do you have left? I freaked when I discovered I have only 29 years left! Some of you are in the lagniappe ...read more
