    God will fulfill the desires of those who fear him. God wants to be near to those who publishes his name both in prayer and good news sharing. God will preserve those who love him through obedience.

    based on 8 ratings
     | 10,811 views

    The desire of God’s heart is that in everything Jesus Christ might have the preeminence. Paul declares that everything finds its meaning and significance in Christ. Christ must be at the center of all things both in our individual lives and in the church.

    THE CENTRALITY OF CHRIST COLOSSIANS 1:15-18 And He is the head of the body, the church, who is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead, that in all things He may have the preeminence Introduction: The desire of God’s heart is that in everything Jesus Christ might have the preeminence.

    Fellowshipping With The Father And The Son - Part 8

    Contributed by Chuck Brooks on Jul 30, 2020
     | 1,486 views

    John didn't want his readers to willingly fall short of God's holy standard. If you are a true believer you will not want to sin. Having a desire not to sin is one of the proofs you are a believer.

    Review The Gnostics said they had no sin, blaming their sinful acts on their body. John was setting the record straight for his readers. The bad new John tells us is that we do sin. The good news is that if we confess our sin God is faithful and righteous to forgive us our sin and cleanse us ...read more

    God desires our sadness and soberness to enter into a relationship with Him, then we get angry at our our sin, just as He is angry against sin, and after cleansing ourselves, we can then become authentically happy in Him.

    Debate Over The Sabbath Series

    Contributed by Christopher Benfield on Apr 19, 2017
     | 8,017 views

    Jesus remained under attack from the Pharisees. Their demands for adherence to unbiblical standards clouded their vision and desire for Christ. Sadly these attitudes remain today. While we must adhere to doctrine, the Lord affords liberty through grace.

    Debate over the Sabbath Mark 2: 23-28 Have you dealt with a season in life when others acted as if you could do nothing right? Surely we have experienced times when people criticized our efforts or challenged our motives. It seems as if everything we tried to accomplish was met with skepticism and ...read more

    In Revelation, Jesus tells the Church at Philadelphia that He is opening a door for them which no one can shut. This is a door of favor, spiritual growth, and opportunity to witness. He'll open that same door for us if we desire it!

    DOORS OF DESTINY INTRODUCTION A. HUMOR 1. Late one night, a mugger wearing a ski mask jumped into the path of a well-dressed man and stuck a gun in his ribs. “Give me your money,” he demanded. Indignant, the affluent man replied, “You can’t do this, I’m a ...read more

    The Stirring At Bethesda

     | 18,366 views

    We see the lame man waiting on & trying to sense the supernatural. He desires to yield to God and is expecting the miraculous. God answered his faith & healed him. Do we have that kind of open attitude toward the supernatural?

    An outcast came with faith unto Jesus. Initially she did not receive the response she desired, but she remained persistent in faith. Jesus granted her request. We too must be persistent in faith as we walk with the Lord.

    Crumbs from His Table Mark 7: 24-30 As we continue our study in Mark’s gospel, we come to a passage that reveals a mother with a desperate need.

    God, in His desire to have us equipped to bless, impact, touch and heal our generation for His glory, has given to us the Ministry of Impartation; that "extra" dimension that enables us to function in a much greater way in the supernatural.
