    The way that the temple was used in redemptive history is a reminder of how easy it is for religion to become hollow, or for ritual to rplece a relationship with God.

    Staying Connected

    Jesus says that it is not our "religious activity" that produces fruit, but our relationship with Him.

    I THINK MOST OF US WOULD AGREE THAT MINISTRY IS A VERY REWARDING PART OF OUR LIVES. ALL OF US “ADD TO” AND “ASSIST WITH” THE CHAPEL’S MINISTRY IN SOME FORM OR FASHION. HOWEVER, WHERE WE DIFFER IN OUR INVOLVEMENT RELATES TO WHY WE CHOOSE TO DO ALL THESE THINGS. FOR MOST, WE DO IT TO FURTHER THE ...read more

    THE SIGNIFICANCE OF FASTING DURING PRAYER - HELPFUL GUIDELINES & HEALTH TIPS

    A. By fasting your saying, "I am serious, Lord." The Bible says to break up fallow ground. When a field isn’t plowed, a hard crust forms. Without exception, all of us get a crust on our spirit.

    based on 1 rating
     | 7,569 views

    Christianity is experiential. Jesus invites John's disciples to come and see. He invites us to come and see, also. When we look expecting to see Jesus we see him all around us. The Holy Spirit transforms us and excites us when we see Jesus.

     | 1,676 views

    What is it to stand in the gap for someone else? Is it to stand in the place for another?

    In Chapter 22, we learn why judgment would be placed on Jerusalem (22:2-16), how it would approach them (22:17-22), and who would be affected by it (22:23-31). The Jewish leaders were particularly liable for the ethical environment of the country since God had picked them to lead. Those actions and ...read more
