    No Place Like Home

     | 3,610 views

    We would sooner give up everything of human worth, even earthly joy, physical health and wholeness, than lose that gift. For this is our true home: in Zion, with God, and in his house. This is always home for God’s people: to be with Him!

    There’s no place like home. You realize that when you’ve been away for a while: maybe on vacation, a business trip, or in the hospital. Home is a refuge. For when we’re at home, we’re surrounded by the familiar. Home is security and comfort. There’s no place like it. But how do we know when we’ve ...read more

    When Jesus comes, all over the earth, graves of the righteous will explode, as the righteous rise to meet the Lord. The question is, if you don't believe in the rapture described in the Bible, how will you know when the real Jesus gets here?

    Joseph made this confession to his family: "I am dying". I am dying. The fact is every person in this room listening to this telecast is racing toward a rendezvous with death one day at a time. The Bible says there's an appointment that all of us have. "It is appointed unto men ...read more

    There are only two possible ways you can approach God - with belief or unbelief. You either believe God, or you don’t believe him. You either put faith in Christ, or you don’t put faith in Christ. You only come to Him by faith in Jesus Christ, or you don’t come to Him at all.

    As most of you know, an eighteen-year-old young man took twenty-one lives at Robb Elementary School in Uvalde, TX, on Tuesday. Nineteen of these lives were elementary-aged children. This is the deadliest school shooting in Texas history and it’s incomprehensible to me that we have such a category. ...read more

    God's Word will always test you, especially in your darkest hour. Your darkest hour is conquered by your dream. A dream written down is a goal. A goal broken down into steps is a plan. A plan backed by divine action will conquer your darkest hour.

    based on 1 rating
     | 265 views

    When life feels confusing and God’s ways seem hidden, faith learns to stop demanding answers and instead bows in reverent worship—trusting God’s sovereign power, choosing joy before deliverance, and resting in Him alone as its strength.

    Living by Faith When Life Doesn’t Make Sense Faith that Worships Habakkuk 3:1-3:19 Last week we left the prophet Habakkuk standing watch upon the city wall—listening as the Lord answered his second complaint. God had already responded to Habakkuk’s first cry by revealing a difficult and ...read more
