    That’s what happens when we believe in, and trust, and accept Christ. Every need of life, of nourishment, and of growth is met. Nothing is left out or lacking. This doesn’t mean that the person will never again hunger after righteousness. Because a pe

    READ the whole passage. I read verse 36 and have to wonder how many people today would be the same way. If Jesus Christ walked into this sanctuary right now and told us who He was, would we believe or would we require a sign. It makes me wonder how many people REALLY believe that Jesus is a real ...read more

    based on 2 ratings
     | 16,995 views

    God is trying to raise up spiritual giants to shake the world. Most have wrong ideas of what a spiritual giant is. Let's look at 3 examples of one. If you want to become a spiritual giant, you have to eat GIANT FOOD! Let's grow for God!

     | 13,755 views

    2 Chron. 16:9 gives a critical requirement for God's willingness to intervene: our full heart-commitment. King Asa is God's example for having it -- and NOT having it. The outcomes are striking and should make us sit up and take notice.

A preacher who had suffered extremely strained relations with his congregation was finally appointed chaplain at the state prison. 2.

     | 26,246 views

    This message explains spiritual warfare and how it affects each of us. It also shows how we can protect ourselves from it.

    I have found that there are three basic types of sermons. The first kind of sermon tells about what will come our way to hurt us, and it teaches what we can do to help prevent that from happening. The second type of sermon tells about what we are doing that might allow something bad to come our ...read more

    Man is designed to be a spiritual being. He will worship something, even if it's a false god. The truth has been diluted and compromised by many, and we live among many who are confused. There is an urgent need for spiritual discernment in our day.

    The Need for Spiritual Discernment 1 John 4: 1-6 I am sure we’ve all been warned about believing everything we hear. The same caution should be applied for what we see as well. It is foolish to believe everything we are told and much of what we see. Lies and deception were used to tempt ...read more
