    Let us prepare our hearts to become a highway for our God.

    Over thirty percent of the bridges in this country are classified as needing major structural repairs. That doesn’t necessarily mean that you’re taking your life in your hands the minute you start to cross a bridge, but it does mean that, as a whole, our transportation system is wearing out.

    What Are We To Do When The Brook Dries Up?

    Contributed by Chris Swanson on Jan 27, 2023
     | 1,605 views

    How many Christians have hit a "dry patch" during their ministry or walk with the Lord, and often we could not understand the reasoning why this has happened?

    We could have called the title to this message “When in Drought, Do Not Doubt.” In the previous chapter, we learn that Ahab is now king of Israel. Unfortunately, he was worse than all the other kings before him. Each king prior to Ahab became worse than the one before. Ahab married Jezebel who led ...read more

    In these last day's we must examine ourselves frequently to make sure when Jesus comes back we are ready to go. Having a knowledge of all the END TIME events will not save us. It's how we serve the Lord that will assure our entrance into heaven.

    Matthew 7:21-23 (KJV-BRG) Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven. 22 Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and ...read more

    Zechariah and Elizabeth were a devout couple who did not have any children. We see in today’s text a lack of faith---unbelief. Then, one day the angel Gabriel showed up and told him that God was going answer His prayers and that Elizabeth would give birth to a son who was to be named John.

    John the Baptist is presented in the prologue of John's gospel as the prophesied forerunner to the arrival of God's Messiah. He prepared the people of Israel for the Messiah by preaching repentance and obedience. Repentance was needed then, and in these last days as well.

    So far in John's prologue to his magnificent account of the person and work of the Lord Jesus Christ, we were introduced to the person and ministry of John the Baptist, described as "a man sent from God" (1:6) and who was to "bear witness of the Light" (1:7-8). He bore ...read more
