    Wind, Fire, And Word

    Contributed by David Dunn on Oct 22, 2025
     | 197 views

    At Pentecost, God shattered every barrier—proving His Spirit speaks every language, loves every culture, and saves all who call.

    Introduction — The Music of Words Language. That simple word carries a universe inside it. Gustave Flaubert once wrote that language is “a cracked pot on which we beat out a tune for bears to dance, while we long to make music that will melt the stars.” What a contradiction—clumsy and celestial ...read more

    Stop Telling God What To Do

    Contributed by David Dunn on Oct 27, 2025
     | 149 views

    How Prayer Changes Us Before It Changes Anything Else. Prayer is not controlling outcomes but aligning with God’s heart, trusting Him fully, and joining His transforming work in people’s lives.

    There are phrases that sound almost sacrilegious in a prayer meeting. Not curse words. Just sentences that don’t fit the script Christian culture hands us. And the moment they come out of your mouth, the atmosphere shifts. Forks freeze above plates. Eyes widen. Someone nearly inhales a dinner ...read more

    Strong Enough To Serve

    Contributed by David Dunn on Oct 30, 2025
     | 160 views

    Jesus grants authority not for control but for compassion; strength flows through humility, and true greatness is found at the basin of service.

    There are few sights more moving than real authority wrapped in humility. It’s rare. We’re accustomed to power that postures, rank that separates, and leadership that needs to be noticed. Every now and then, we glimpse the beauty of someone who is both strong and gentle—someone who knows exactly ...read more

     | 148 views

    Finding Strength When You Feel Like Giving Up. Believers overcome discouragement by facing reality with faith—trusting God’s goodness, and rediscovering hope in Christ.

    The Devil’s Favorite Tool There’s an old story told by preachers long before microphones and livestreams. It goes like this: One day the devil decided to have a garage sale. He laid out all his tools on a table—hatred, envy, jealousy, deceit, lust, pride, and lying. Each one was marked with a ...read more

    "Woe To You": Avoiding The Pharisees’ Mistakes About Faith Series

    Contributed by Jim Butcher on Nov 4, 2025
     | 344 views

    Jesus' criticism of the religious leaders provides several insights into what genuine faith is supposed to look like.

    WRONG WAY: Jesus rejected the Pharisees’ approach to faith. - Luke 11:37-38. - Jesus gets invited to dine with a Pharisee and He goes. That in itself is interesting: Jesus is engaging with those who are His most vociferous enemies. - Why did He do that? I think there are at least a couple ...read more

    Faith learns to wait when heaven is silent, trusting that divine delay is never denial but God’s perfect timing for greater glory.

When Heaven Seems Silent The Cry for Connection Dr. Edmund Stanley, in From Death to Birth, shares a haunting verse from a poem called “Victor: A Ballad.” Victor’s world has collapsed—his wife has betrayed him, his heart is in ashes.

    The Idols That Make Us Idle

    Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Nov 20, 2025
     | 253 views

    It is not unusual to hear a teenager or adults these days say, I AM BORED!!! The word “Bored” originates from the verb “bore”, which means to pierce or drill. The term has evolved over time to describe a feeling of emptiness or lack of interest, often associated with a dull life.

    God did not put us here to live a life of boredom!!! The Word of God tells us Eccl.9:10, Whatsoever Thy Hands Findeth to do, do it with all thy might. Reading that verse of scripture does not describe a life of boredom. Illus: Isaac Watts said: Satan finds some mischief still for idle hands to ...read more

    After writing about the things we should take off and put on, Paul wrote about what should rule us and dwell in us, and how we should do everything.

    Introduction: A. Today, I want us to start by considering the concepts of ruling and dwelling. 1. Let’s ask ourselves: Who or what is ruling in my heart and life? a.

    Contributed by Derek Geldart on Nov 25, 2025
    based on 2 ratings
     | 323 views

    Fasting is a biblical way to quiet our hearts, humble our souls, and make room to hear God’s voice—bringing revelation, deliverance, protection, repentance, and spiritual strength to those who hunger and thirst for Him.

    Fasting for a Breakthrough “As the deer pants for streams of water, so my soul pants for you, my God. My soul thirsts for God, for the living God. When can I go and meet with God?” Psalms 42:1-2 There are moments in our walk with Christ when we become desperate—truly desperate—to hear the voice ...read more
