The Wedding At Cana Series

Contributed by Sonny Thomas, Sr. on Jan 10, 2009

Jesus and the disciples were invited. Whether the family was poor and had not enough refreshments, or whether there was ...read more

The Measure Of A Successful Man

Contributed by Tim Patrick on Jun 19, 2009

As you study Joseph’s life you will attain a new measure of success.

How do you measure success? Some people measure success by money. Some people measure success by power. Some people measure success by public opinion.

To Forgive Is Divine

Contributed by Sean Harder on Jun 19, 2009

Sowing & Reaping Series

Contributed by Dennis Davidson on Nov 12, 2009

The creation precept built into the very fabric of all creation, both physical & spiritual, is that a person reaps after the same manner & nature that they sow. Every thought, attitude or action has its own reproductive cycle. You reap what you sow.

GALATIANS 6: 6-8 SOWING AND REAPING The principle of reciprocity is certainly being taught here. Though the initial thought is that their ministers should have a material return for what they spiritually sow in the life of the believers the principle extends beyond that arena. The creation ...read more

Hooked On A Title

Contributed by Wayne Lawson on Aug 9, 2011

Jesus did not anoint the head of the disciples - he did not call for a bottle of Holy Oil - he did not ask them to get in a Prayer Line. This may not be apparent at first, but think about it - your feet carry a enormous load.
