Asher: The Man Called "Happy”

Contributed by John Gaston on Sep 2, 2020

Asher, the man called "Happy" has special significance; He parallels Christians. Born with problems, but God spoke the prophecy over him that “He shall be ‘Happy.’” The same prophecy has been spoken over us!

Mark 6:46 And when he had sent them away, he departed into a mountain to pray. Luke 5:16 And he ...read more

God Uses The Unexpected

Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Mar 6, 2022

Many times those who are underestimated and considered failures go on to accomplish great things in society. The same principle is true in the kingdom. The Lord oftentimes uses people who are rejected to bring glory to His name.

Once we are saved by grace through faith in Jesus Christ, and as we come to know the Lord by spending time with Him, we will reach a point in our life where our love will overflow in a desire for service. It’s at this place that many believers come to a screeching halt. They look at themselves ...read more

What Will Be Your Legacy? (2 Of 2)

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Mar 23, 2022

In this text we see something that often occurs in churches. A man is sleeping in church.

Obedience Versus The Wisdom Of This Age

Contributed by Michael Stark on Jul 31, 2010

Christians are called to obedience. In fact, God equates obedience to His will with love for Him. To fail to obey Him is to demonstrate that we love self more than we love Him.

Assault Against The Faithful Series

Contributed by Michael Stark on Apr 15, 2021

Paul's assessment of himself was that he was unworthy of God's grace. However, Christ is merciful; He will receive anyone who comes to Him in faith, even those who are full of themselves.

“Look out for the dogs, look out for the evildoers, look out for those who mutilate the flesh.

Hope For The Future

Contributed by David Shipman on Dec 8, 2001

We live in a time where the Body of Christ must realize that WE are the hope for the future. The spirit of God dwells within us and we must take it to those who have no hope.
