Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Jul 19, 2025

The best thing we can do during difficulties and trials is to bring all our griefs, troubles, and discouragements to Jesus. This is what John the Baptist did when he was in prison, and it helped him move from doubting to faith.

All me to begin with an illustration: “Joe Scriven was a missionary from Ireland to Canada, working among the Iroquois Indians. He was joined by his fiancé, who was also from Ireland. Just before the wedding, she was killed in an accident. Joe buried her with his own hands and a broken ...read more

"Understanding & Breaking Generational Curses.”

Contributed by Dr. Jerry Hulse on Jul 24, 2025

The means for breaking generational curses was accomplished at Calvary. Still, the lingering effects of past actions and sins that have been passed down through our bloodline may remain, and addressing these problems involves repentance, faith, deliverance, and a dedication to a new life in Christ.

All of us are called to be soldiers of Christ. We are to fight the good fight of faith. We war against strongholds of sin, not only actions and words, but against thoughts. We have a Champion! We cannot fail! The gates of Hell can't prevail against us!

Grab Hold Of The Authority And Power Of God

Contributed by James May on Aug 31, 2022

We must have God's authority and power with us if we are to fight the spiritual warfare in these last hours. We need faith to reach out and take hold of God's promises like the Woman with the issue of blood who took hold of the hem of his garment.

I won’t go into the history of the land of the Gadarenes except to say that many of those who lived there ...read more

The Wicked Generation

Contributed by John Williams Iii on Oct 15, 2022

John the Baptizer wasted no time in telling Herod that it was wrong for him to have his brother Phillip’s wife saying that it was not lawful. John went to prison for being the prophet God called him to be and not the puppet that Herod wanted him to be.

THE WICKED GENERATION Text: Matthew 11:1 – 19, 25- 30 N. T. Wright once said that “… wicked people don’t like a message of judgment because they think the message is aimed at them, (and rightly so) while good people don’t like a message of mercy because they think (wrongly) that ...read more

What Makes Jesus' Yoke Light? (Matthew 11:1-30) Series

Contributed by Garrett Tyson on Feb 7, 2022

Jesus' expectations are high (Matthew 5-7). So how can he say his yoke is a light burden? Jesus' yoke is not optional, and not secondary. You come to Jesus, in part, by taking on his yoke.

What makes Jesus' yoke light? (Matthew 11:1-30) We were doing family devotions the other night, and I was so proud of two of them, and found their insights so helpful, that I thought I'd sidetrack for a week and just make a record of this for myself. And the best way I know to do that, ...read more
