Don’t try to get people to admire you for fasting. That is the only reward you will get. But when you ...read more

    Driven To Denial Series

     | 4,599 views

    Although there were clear warnings, Peter ignored those and denied Jesus. We may tend to be critical, but we have been guilty of failing to heed the warnings of the Spirit. Warnings left unheeded are of no value.

    Driven to Denial Mark 14: 66-72 The long night of pain and suffering for Jesus had begun, and the difficulty continued to mount. He suffered in agony, praying under a heavy burden in the Garden of Gethsemane. After His prayer had ended, Judas Iscariot, one of the twelve, led a multitude, sent by ...read more

    Immediately you see the word prosperity you might connote that it has to do with worldly riches, goods or money. However 3 John 2 gives three dimensions of wealth; bodily prosperity, soul prosperity and spiritual prosperity.

    One of the deadliest of the seven sins, lust can destroy the soul. Here is how it works and how we can deal with it.

    Before we begin talking about lust, we need to talk a little about sex. Hugh Hefner didn’t invent it. Neither did Hollywood. Nor the authors of the Kama Sutra. God created sex, and like everything he made it was beautiful. He didn’t waste any time getting to it either. Merely two ...read more

    The Lord provides our salvation, but that does not absolve us from any responsibility. We are responsible for our growth and maturity, striving for Christ-likeness in this life.

    The Growth of the Saints 2 Peter 1: 5-8 Following his introduction and reminder of the glorious benefit of salvation, Peter immediately extended a challenge to the believers who would read this letter. While salvation is an act of God’s marvelous grace offered to those who are underserving, ...read more

    Jesus has the power to heal us from every physical and mental disease. But he doesn't always use that power. Often, what we need more is to be healed from our spiritual blindness.

    A Man Born Blind Series

    Contributed by Chris Appleby on Jan 23, 2017
     | 19,645 views

    Is seeing believing? Are you looking to see God at work in the world? Are you pointing out those works of God to others so they too can see? Jesus said : “We must work the works of him who sent me while it is day; night is coming when no one can work.”

    Blindness is a terrible thing. Our sight is central to so much that we enjoy in the world. Whether it’s the beauty of nature, or the smile on a other person’s face when they see you coming; whether it’s the control it gives you over the world around you, or the freedom that it ...read more
