Close But No Cigar

Contributed by Derrick Tuper on Nov 17, 2015

"Thieves Of Thankfulness”

Contributed by Bubot Parago on Oct 27, 2018

These thieves of Thankfulness should be stopped and put to the bars of Justice. They should be imprisoned and never to be released again in our lives. These are spirits which should be subjected to the One who is Greater and dwells inside of us.

How Does It Look To You Now?

Contributed by Wayne Lawson on Nov 7, 2011

There was no way they could restore the temple to its former glory; it would be nothing in comparison to King Solomon’s temple. It is at this point that God began to teach them, it is not about how impressive the Sanctuary is.

TITLE: HOW DOES IT LOOK TO YOU NOW? SCRIPTURE: HAGGAI 2:3-7 Our scripture text this morning is a difficult book to find in the Old Testament.

The Cost Of Abandoning Christ Series

Contributed by James Wallace on Jan 18, 2021
