Sticks And Stones Series

Contributed by Jim Drake on Apr 27, 2009

Just as a tiny spark has the power to start a devastating fire, one word has the power to devastate lives, homes, churches and communities. Words can tear down but they also can build up. How do you think the Lord would have us use our words?

Stretch

Contributed by Pastor/Author: Terry Sisney on Dec 31, 2022

What does stretch mean to me? It means busting loose and busting out. It means new territory. It means new opportunities. It means going beyond. It means the devil made a big mistake, he didn’t kill me when he had the chance. It means fresh fire.

Shake It Off Series

Contributed by Tom Fuller on Dec 29, 2008

Paul safely escapes shipwreck only to have a snake come out of the fire and bite him. Instead of panicking or making a big show of how "bullet proof" he was, the Apostle simply goes about the business of serving God. It’s a great lesson for us when we fac

Angry mobs, corrupt leaders (both Israeli and Roman), then even the wind and waves seem to conspire to destroy Paul or crash him up against the rocks—anything to keep him from reaching God’s intended destination.
