     | 4,655 views

    Jesus taught about dealing with difficult people. He stressed how we should not run away from our problems, or fight back against opposition, but that we should persist with people, so we can one day win them to faith in Christ.

    There is nothing easy about the world in which we live. This is a world full of people, and if we are going to succeed in life, or be effective at sharing the gospel, we must learn how to deal with people, especially those who are difficult; and we must learn to love them no matter how they treat ...read more

    Reclaiming The Blueprint Series

    Contributed by Apostle Dr. Ruben L. Broadnax Jr. on Oct 24, 2024
     | 1,570 views

    Many believers feel that something vital is missing from today's church, yearning for the vibrancy seen in the early church of Acts. God is calling us back to that original blueprint, to be a church devoted to Him, to each other, and to the mission of spreading His hope and redemption.

    There is a growing sense among believers today that something essential is missing. We attend church services, participate in programs, and go through the motions of faith, yet we long for the vibrancy, the power, and the authentic community described in the book of Acts. It’s like we have ...read more

    Lesson From Adam And Eve

    Contributed by Pastor Renji George on Jun 12, 2024
    based on 1 rating
     | 1,347 views

    Adam could have repented and come back to God. God gave him a chance to repent. But instead of admitting the fault he blamed his wife (Genes 3:12). If Adam had admitted the fault of disobedience to God, God would have forgiven him.

    God could have stopped Eve from sinning. Do you think God did not know when satan was entering the garden of Eden? Was God unaware of satan tempting His precious child Eve? The closing of Genesis 3 speaks about God keeping Cheru-bims to watch over the garden with a flaming sword (Genesis 3:24). ...read more

    Having never been in the military I hear fellows talk about some of the wars that they were involved. When I hear them talk of these wars I have to set back and listen because I have never been any of the wars they talk about.

     | 7,851 views

    The difference between when Jesus died and the death of every martyr or every hero who ever died is this: Those people died and they are still dead. The thing about Jesus Christ is he died, he was buried, and he came back after three days.

    INTRODUCTION Back in December I read a list of things you will never hear a good ‘ole boy in Texas say like, “I thought Graceland was tacky.” You’ll never hear, “You can’t feed that to the dog,” or “That deer head takes away from the decor of this ...read more
