    As Christians, we have many benefits because of our personal relationship with God. We do not have to fall prey to the bondage of the world and the traps of Satan. We can refuse fear because God has given us authority over it. We are to live victoriously

    To establish that Peter’s discussion of this great event occurred when Noah was building the Ark; during 120 years which culminated by the flood.

    It is our willingness to give God a preview that shows God that we will not forget what He will do because we refuse to overlook what He has already done! It is our preview that shows God that we won't take the miracle we are asking for for granted becaus

    Gratitude For The Faithful

    Writing to the "elect lady," John was aware of the delicate balance needed to show grace to those who had wronged her while refusing to compromise her convictions and faith. We must love others, but we cannot compromise our faith for the favor of men.

    Gratitude for the Faithful 2 John 1-4 Our text today comes from the second general epistle the apostle John wrote. Along with the gospel that bears his name, and Revelation, John also wrote 1, 2, and 3rd John. It is believed to have been written around AD 85-95, near the end of John’s life. ...read more

    Jesus is still hard at work in our lives today. He refuses to listen to people who want him to stop doing his work. He is still busy answering prayers and performing healings today....and I for one am certainly grateful that he is.

    Good morning boys and girls! Have your parents ever told you not to do anything or that you couldn't go someplace where you really wanted to go? Well, Jesus certainly knows the feeling. The same situation happened to Jesus in today's Gospel reading. Some people tried to tell him to leave because ...read more

    Whether it's deep-rooted habits in your life that refuse to move, or mountain-like problems that you're facing that you cannot overcome, or a challenge so great like planting something where there is no soil, God says, your faith is enough to solve those problems.

    Today, we will focus on a prayer made by the disciples that had a profound impact on their lives and ministry. In Luke 17:5, the disciples asked Jesus, "Increase our faith!" This simple prayer holds great significance as it reveals the disciples' desire for a stronger faith to accomplish the ...read more

    Our culture has lived in sheer optimism, but that time is fading. We must seize the opportunity to minister while it is here; and if we do so, we will see bountiful rewards.

    My besetting sin, if you must know, is procrastination. Never do today what you can put off until tomorrow, for somehow tomorrow always seems to be even more than only a day away. It seems to be an eternity away, and so what if I do not do today what my To-Do list says I am to do? Who will know ...read more

    The Word of God is the source of strength and the source of spiritual maturity. If you don’t stay in the Word, the Word wont’ stay in you.

    Anything that is built high must have a firm foundation. No one can become a great believer, or a great missionary unless there is found in his or her life- a solid foundation. The strength of the foundation will determine the effectiveness of the believer. Our foundation must be the Word of ...read more

    Down But Not Out!

    Contributed by Kerry Haynes on Jun 3, 2018
    based on 4 ratings
     | 17,282 views

    When it comes to suffering, Paul calls us to forsake pity parties and glorify God. We can remember that Jesus shines through us, that our weaknesses glorify God, that we may be down but never out, and that our sufferings may bring eternal life to others.

    2 Corinthians 4:5-12 Down but Not Out! A Christian need never suffer. At least that’s what some preachers might tell you. However, that is not the message of scripture. Jesus said, “If they persecuted me, they will persecute you also” (John 15:20). We should expect no better treatment than that ...read more
