Sin

Contributed by Cedric Portis on Dec 11, 2001

God Abides In Small Places

Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Jan 21, 2022

When trying to start a new church, we often think we should send church planters to the largest populated areas. However, both John the Baptist and Jesus preached in the wilderness, and people came to them where they were!

I have entitled our message for this evening, “God Abides in Small Places.” Abide means, to dwell and to continue in a place. The Lord can be found abiding – and alive and well – in small places; and it is very important for us to be reminded of this fact because of America’s belief that “bigger ...read more

Feeling Small, Walking Tall Series

Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Mar 24, 2022

You are probably ...read more

Is Your God Too Small?

Contributed by Isaac Butterworth on Feb 20, 2004
