     | 1,688 views

    I sense timidity, exhaustion. Why do you look so tired? Why do you look so stretched? You appear as one who lacks hope.

    I sense timidity, exhaustion. Why do you look so tired? Why do you look so stretched? You appear as one who lacks hope. Have you no hope? Have you lost it somewhere? Has hope run off and hid itself? Is it running from you, just out of reach? Many walk in a trance, rigid, furled brows, ...read more

    Does anyone really know what time it is? We, should make that into a song…oh that’s right, it already is a song [Chicago the band, 1969]. Does anyone really know the TRUTH? What is the TRUTH?

    A guy some 2000+ years ago asked another man, what is the TRUTH? Do you know who these two men were? Yes, it was Pontius Pilate and Jesus Christ, God as a man. Pontius had no idea who he was dealing with…well at first anyway. I believe he eventually figured it out and was sorry for his ...read more

    What Is Faith? Part 2 Series

    Contributed by Tom Fuller on Oct 23, 2005
    based on 6 ratings
     | 3,827 views

    What is faith? We see faith worked out in what we call heros of the Old Testament - but they, like us, were stretched and confronted with problems as they learned to trust God.

    Last time we began chapter 11 of Hebrews - the great chapter on faith. Hebrews 11:1 Now faith is the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen. We learned that faith is believing that God is who He says He is and that He will do what He promised He will do - even though ...read more

    Through out the 66 books of the Bible we read time and time again stories that increase and Stretch our faith as we become obedient. In return we begin to dream big!

    Dreaming Big! Text: Luke 5: 1-4 Life is full of lessons; lessons come several ways. Object lessons seem to be very effective in my opinion. Jesus is teaching the multitudes probably a message on trust or faith, and then Jesus spots Peter and the other disciples, so He decides ...read more

    The Nearness Of God.

     | 2,695 views

    Popular religion speaks about man reaching up to God. However, the reality is that God is reaching down to us. Yes, Christ is stretching out His arms to us upon the Cross.

    THE NEARNESS OF GOD. Isaiah 65:1-9. People sometimes talk about somebody who ‘found God.’ God was never lost; it is people who are lost. When the prodigal son returned to his father, the father said, ‘this my son was lost, but now is found’ (cf. Luke 15:24). Yet, in their distress, ...read more

    One man, and one man only is wholly competent to tell us the story of the death of Jesus. That man is this roman centurion. It was this centurion, who sent his band of men across the brook Kedron in the soft moonlight to arrest Jesus.

    Stay away from people who speak harmful, harsh words against men/women of God. They have the ‘beast spirit’ in them, don’t join the band and grieve God. Are you listening?

    Beast and his mouth Revelation 13:6”And he opened his mouth in blasphemies against God, to blaspheme His name and His tabernacle, that is, those who dwell in heaven.” I just had a glimpse of what this ‘beast’ would have spoken like, when I met a short, unassuming, puny ...read more

    What do you do when the band stops playing and the “Amen’s” are no longer shouted? What do you do when it seems like faith has been misguided? Consider the condition of the disciples on the day after Easter.
