Faith Ringing Out Series

Contributed by Brad Beaman on Feb 28, 2022

As believers we are to have a testimony that rings out like the Thessalonian believers. We have turned from worthless things to Jesus. Our lives become a testimony when we continue our walk with Christ with patient endurance. That is when our faith rings out.

A Faith That Can Be Seen

When the Lord see's how bad you want your Blessing!

Timothy’s Faith Series

Contributed by John Lowe on Nov 20, 2020

Shoe-Leather Faith Series

Contributed by Christopher Benfield on Dec 30, 2020

Faithful Until Death

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Apr 29, 2022

Notice the condition on which this promise is made. The Lord said, if we are faithful unto death, He would give us a CROWN OF LIFE.

He did NOT say, “If you are faithful a few short years I will give thee a Crown of Life”. There are times the devil tells us that as Christians, we are wasting our lives serving the Lord. But I can assure you, based on the Word of God, that we are doing the smartest thing a person can do with our ...read more

Faith is like boiling water, when we are connected with God, people can see our faithfulness boiling. In simple terms, faith can be identified. 1. The way one talks about God 2. The ...read more
