    Text: “Will you not revive us again, that your people may rejoice in you”. – Psalm 85:6 What does it mean to be revived? What is a revival? A person’s spiritual life, ministry, business, finances, marriage, or even your car can be in need of a revival. To be revived or to ...read more

    Sleep In Heavenly Peace

    Contributed by Derrick Tuper on Aug 15, 2021
     | 4,900 views

    I read an article where the writer posed a question: "what keeps you up at night?" It's too early to think about Christmas songs but I thought, 'what better sleep could there be than to sleep in heavenly peace?' Let's see how.

    SLEEP IN HEAVENLY PEACE There are times when it's hard to get to sleep. It can be because we had caffeine too late in the day or we had a snack too close to bedtime and now we're paying for it. Then there are other reasons-you have a deadline to meet and you're not ready. You have an ...read more

In my mind’s eye, I could see all those tools. I eyed the saw of discernment. I saw the hammer of wisdom. I picked ...read more

    Striking The Shepherd

    Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on May 5, 2021
    based on 3 ratings
     | 4,404 views

    The devil worked through believers to see Jesus betrayed and crucified. He is working today to discredit God's shepherds. When conflict arises, people all too often deny their leader; and this is the point at which he is led away to be crucified!

    In Job 2:7, we read, “So Satan went out from the presence of the LORD, and struck Job with painful boils from the sole of his foot to the crown of his head.” I think most of us realize that Satan can attack people physically by robbing them of their health; however, the surprising revelation is ...read more

    Barriers And Bridges To God Series

    Contributed by Perry Fowler on Feb 21, 2024
    based on 2 ratings
     | 2,092 views

    In this passage we are drawn to run to Jesus by contrasting the “old ways” of trying to get to God versus the “new and living way” to get to God through Jesus. How do people try to get to God? Let’s see:

    I don’t know why but bridges have always been amazing to me. I think I am amazed by them because of what accomplish. They overcome barriers and literally “build bridges” to places previously difficult or impossible to get. For example: The longest bridge in the world was completed in 2011. It is ...read more
