    Jacob thought lightly about taking advantage of others, but he didn’t take it so lightly when others took advantage of him.

    What Goes Around Comes Around (Genesis 29:14b-30) 1. My son, Scott, an insurance broker in Florida, loves ocean fishing and takes his cell phone along on the boat.

    Saving The Local Church And Pastor From Extinction. Series

    Contributed by Jan Oosthuizen on Aug 18, 2019
     | 3,446 views

    More and more people are leaving local institutional churches and pick and choose their spiritual diet on social media. Evangelism, and belonging to a local body of believers is on the increasing decline!

    When the smallest cell in the body is under attack, it brings the demise of the whole. For as long as I can remember, there has always been a tension between the local church pastor and the staff of parachurch organisations. Parachurch organisasions work outside and across denominations to ...read more

    A look at the early church and what was normal for them. What are we not doing today that was done in that time? A cry for the church of today to get back to the normal ways of Christianity as outlined in God’s Word.

    THE WAY THINGS ARE IS NOT THE WAY THINGS ARE SUPPOSED TO BE. IT IS TIME THAT THE CHURCH GET BACK TO WHAT IS NORMAL. *The church was born in the power of God’s Spirit, and to think that God would limit the power of His Spirit to that time alone is to limit God Himself. He promises us that the end ...read more

    This sermon shows how loving one another is the mark of a true Christian and once we surrender our lives to Christ everyone will notice.

    Love One Another I've finished another book called “stop asking Jesus into your heart” by J.D. Grier. The title makes it seem as if you shouldn't be a Christian. But it really deals with those who doubt their salvation so much that they feel like they have to constantly ask Jesus ...read more

    The question everyone asks is “Can a Christian have demons within their body and soul or influencing them?”  I saw many people influenced by demons in local churches. I’m not speaking of demonic possessions here, that is another subject. When a person com

    Have you ever had a person in your life who made you wander if he was a good influence or a bad influence? There are things that have to be weighed out to make a right judgment. Some things may not be as they seem to the casual observer. God knows.

    JEPHTHAH- "whom God sets free" No time to be idle or enveloped in a pity party. Heb. 11:32 ¶ And what shall I more say? for the time would fail me to tell of Gedeon, and of Barak, and of Samson, and of Jephthae; of David also, and Samuel, and of the prophets: Central Reading ...read more

    Peer influence by itself is not bad Prov. 27:17. By Iron, iron itself is sharpened, so one man sharpens another. Fellowship with other youths can sharpen your personality and make you a better person, on condition that they have mature, healthy attitudes
