Is Answered Prayed A Miracle.

Contributed by Eugene Morell on Jul 1, 2012

Do we really believe that God is a prayer-hearing & a prayer-answering God? In our modern society maybe we become Christian humanists who believe that as humans we can do anything if we take the time to plan carefully & implement the plan.

Scary Scripture Series

Contributed by Jeff Strite on Oct 29, 2022

Paul warned Timothy to keep a close watch on his life and on THE TEACHING because "in doing this you will save both yourself and those who hear you." Why is what we teach so critical to the salvation of ourselves and our listeners?

Wayne that attracted thousands of attenders that was called “The Glory Barn” (the building looked like it had been a barn).

Hope In The Midst Of Darkness

Contributed by Brian Williams on Jan 24, 2023

This is the time you need to hear the hope of the gospel, the hope of salvation and deliverance, no matter how discouraged you may be. We can make right choices even in the midst of darkness. To be encouraged and strengthened with words of faith. Your present situation is not the end of the story.

I have heard it said time and time again over the years by Christian and non-Christian alike, that we are living in dark times. When we speak of darkness it could refer to the evils of untold suffering, catastrophes, cruelty, corruption, and malevolence. We have seen evil taking place on a global ...read more

The days are coming” declares the Lord God, “when I will send a famine throughout the land— not a famine of food or a thirst for water— but rather a famine of hearing the words of the Lord.

Listen…and…obey! James 1:22-24

Contributed by Darrell Ferguson on Jul 1, 2021

This passage says something that seems obvious—don’t just listen the Word; do what it says. We all know we should do that, but how? This passage teaches the keys to getting what you hear into regular practice in your life.

James 1:22 But be doers of the word and not hearers only, deceiving yourselves. 23 Because if anyone is a hearer of the word and not a doer, he is like a man looking at his own face in a mirror. 24 For he looks at himself, goes away, and immediately forgets what kind of man he was. 25 But the one ...read more

Grasping The Invisible

Contributed by John Gaston on Jan 12, 2017

Some were content just to see Jesus, others just to hear His voice, but for one woman, the only thing that would satisfy her need within was to actually make physical contact with Him -- she MUST TOUCH HIM! Are you content with less?

Why Christians Don't Get Their Prayers Answered Series

Contributed by Ps Trevor Bartley on Apr 10, 2018

I have found the answer to the question or comment we hear a lot, “If God is good all the time and He is the healer, why did my family member die? They went to church, read their Bible, prayed and even tithed, they were the best Christian.

God takes the responsibility to ensure that His Word will come to pass on the Earth. He has invested His Word through His Son (the Logos) so that someone can speak into existence His will for the Earth. All He needs is someone to speak into existence His will via His Word, the Logos and ...read more

"Expect The Unexpected This Christmas”

Contributed by Michael Otterstatter on Jan 2, 2023

As some of said, “If we expect to hear the Christmas gospel without the Advent call to repentance, we will find ourselves surprised by John and unprepared for Jesus.” So, we ask the Holy Spirit to open our hearts to the message and ministry of both John and Jesus.

“It wasn’t what I expected.” Whether you are young or old, a man or woman, a girl or a boy, you have probably experienced something that caused you to have that reaction. Perhaps it was connected to some food that you tried. You were feeling a little adventurous and you ordered something at a ...read more
