Necessity & Intensity Of Prayers That Brings Outstanding Miracles

Contributed by Dr. Abraham Obadare on Aug 28, 2021

Reading 1 Kings chapter 18, we see the necessity and intensity of prayer that brings about outstanding miracles and solutions.

Although God had promised rain in 1 Kings 18:1 that He would send rain, Elijah still needed to pray before the fire fell and before the rain came. ? Although the ...read more

The First Rapture?

Contributed by Michael Koplitz on Oct 10, 2021

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Mar 11, 2022

In Acts 9, we read of the exciting conversion of the Apostle Paul as he traveled to Damascus to persecute the New Testament Christians.

After the Lord miraculous converted Paul, the Lord told him to go into the city and he would be told what he was to do. The apostle Peter's conversion was unusual as well.

Contributed by Garrett Tyson on Nov 28, 2023

An introduction to Revelation. Not so much a summary of the book, but more an explanation for how I'm planning to read it.

He encouraged me to pick the study that I thought would be most useful to the church. He has also told me that he would avoid ...read more
