Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Jul 17, 2022

Our God is a wonderful God for provision. Elisha used to travel a circuit in ministry, and at Shunem, He provided for His servant through a childless couple, where Elisha had his own simple room. This is most informative.

The 7 Churches Of Revelation (Part 2) Series

Contributed by T.j. Conwell on Jul 16, 2023

This concludes our examination of the 7 churches of Revelation, and each of these churches has a very specific letter given to it. Although sometimes subtle, there is a very common theme to each letter: a church that allows the world to influence it is NOT being faithful to Jesus Christ.

"it Is What It Is!"

Contributed by Jeffery Russell on Aug 3, 2023

It is what it is?" It's usually a string to throw out there to explain how to accept the unacceptable. Isn't life supposed to be better than this?

"It is What it Is!" Jeremiah 31: 1-6 The other day I prayed and asked the Lord what He wanted me to preach on tonight and by the end of the day He made it abundantly clear. I went to cut a limb using my chainsaw. The chain got stuck and in my attempt to free it, I broke the chain! ...read more

Live For Today And Die Forever

Contributed by Stephen Belokur on Feb 11, 2020

Sounds pretty harsh, right? Jesus said the very same thing on four different occasions and it is recorded six different times in the Gospels. What can we do about it?

Yahweh - The Unique God

Contributed by Stephen Belokur on Feb 16, 2020

The Christian faith is different from any other religion in the world. This was true in the ancient near east and it is as true today as it was then. Being unique doesn't necessarily make something right. What is it that makes Yahweh the one true God and different from the rest?

Help Is On The Way!

Contributed by Kerry Haynes on Mar 5, 2020

Like the early Israelites, we can sing with confidence, because God watches over us, God protects us, and God is with us. We have nothing to fear.

"I Will Lift My Eyes Unto The Hills…”

Contributed by John Gaston on Sep 10, 2020

Spiritual vacuum. Hunger for God. Seeking God in solitary places. Waiting on the Lord. Stillness. 3 types of silence. "Look unto Me and be saved." Fixing our eyes on Him. Admitting weakness, embracing Omnipotence.
