     How often in life we’re reacting to the same things in different ways… different interpretation  Often true with the role of PROPHETIC INSIGHT TODAY. We can have the same different perspective as those pilgrims & warriors.

    Story of Misunderstanding In an ancient story called "The Holy Man," a group of pilgrims are traveling across a vast desert to visit the holy shrines and temples of antiquity. After several days’ journey into the desert, they sight a great rolling cloud of dust in the distance moving toward ...read more

    You're Not Simple, And Neither Is God

    Contributed by Michael Blitz on Jun 14, 2025
     | 206 views

    People want a "simple religion" and want to make God simple. Yet we ourselves are not simple at all, so how could our Creator be? Though God is complex, in Trinity, he displays for us love within that union, a love which models for us the love we should have for each other.

    Good Morning. Give me a simple religion. It’s what a lot of people want, and it’s what a lot of people have tried to turn Christianity into through the years. Of course, if someone calls US simple, we are very offended. Yet somehow, we think the God who made us has to be simpler than we are. I am ...read more

    Azariah And Jahaziel And The Holy Spirit Series

    The Holy Spirit is active in the care of our souls if we let Him. He wants to comfort us, lead us, guide us, direct us, teach us and empower us. He wants us to be “Christ like” and to “Do the work of the Kingdom” in the here and now.

    We often focus on His birth and His death yes they are very important but His life is a model for us. We can’t be born like him and we can’t die like Him but we sure can live like Him.

    4 Things A Church In Revival Will Have

     | 19,684 views

    The Book of Acts gives the model of what an on-fire N.T. church should look like. Philip's revival at Samaria has four distinct signs of what should drive and characterize an awakening. If you want revival, then have a look at the real deal!

    Forgiveness Is Not A Choice

    Contributed by Reggie Corfield on Aug 12, 2014
    based on 2 ratings
     | 11,970 views

    Forgiveness has eternal consequences. Perhaps that is why Jesus included it in his model prayer saying we are forgiven only when we forgive. Satan does not have to get us with every sin in the bible. All he needs is to get us with one.

    I want to start with something funny, so listen to this. One Sunday a Preacher’s message was about forgiveness. Hoping to have made an impact, towards the end of the sermon, he asked his congregation, “How many of you have been able to forgive those who offended ...read more

    Prayer Keys - Praise Series

    Contributed by Mark Stepherson on Mar 1, 2012

    Jesus himself thought praise was so important that he began and ended the model prayer with it. “Our Father, which art in heaven, hallowed be thy name... for thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory forever.” Surely our prayers are incomplete wi

    In basketball there’s a "triple threat" stance than can make an offensive player an effective threat to the opposing team. In the same way, Jesus models a "triple threat" for us that can make us effective for His kingdom. What is that triple threat, and h

    How To Talk To God

    Contributed by Kerry Haynes on Jul 24, 2016
    based on 1 rating
     | 8,529 views

    "Lord, teach us to pray." In response, Jesus gives his disciples and us the model prayer, the "Our Father" or "Lord's Prayer." He continues with strong teaching to be persistent, knowing that God loves us more than we love our own children.

    Luke 11:1-13 How to Talk to God “Chaplain, will you teach me how to pray?” I remember that question like it was yesterday, even though it must have been at least a couple of years ago. It came from a Veteran on our inpatient mental health unit. I marveled at the time how simple and yet ...read more

    Gospelling Like Paul Series

    based on 1 rating
     | 4,227 views

    Paul commends the church of the Thessalonians for being a model to the others churches. They imitate Paul who avoids all worldly techniques when he brings the Gospel; and who also brings the Gospel with family familiarity. Such gospelling will make believers strong and ready and stand out.

    You can listen to the full message here:- http://www.nec.org.au/strong-and-ready/ Message 1 Thessalonians 2:1-16 Gospelling Like Paul As we make our way through Thessalonians a topic which will come up regularly is that of imitation.

    The Resurrection Of Jesus Christ And Why It Matters

    Contributed by Donald Whitchard on Jan 9, 2023
     | 1,308 views

    In his first letter to the church at Corinth, the apostle Paul had to address their chaotic and ungodly practices. He confronted and corrected them as to how a true church should model itself on the foundation of the Lord Jesus Christ, including a reminder about the resurrection and its importance.

    As the days draw closer to the return of our Great God and Savior Jesus Christ (Luke 21:28; Titus 2:13), the enemies of the LORD, both human and demonic, are doing their best to turn people away from the truth of the Scriptures and that there is no salvation for anyone except through Him ...read more

    Servant Evangelism

    Contributed by Larry Grant on May 8, 2022

     | 3,104 views

    Tabitha stands as the Biblical model of “servant evangelism." What makes this form of evangelism so authentic, is that it has the ability to touch people that nobody else can reach. Humble service. This is what draws people to you; that is what draws people to the Christ in you.
