     | 1,580 views

    God is always there to assist, offering safety, peace, and refuge. God's power is unending, and He will triumph in the end. Those who love Him will always be saved by Him.

    In verses 1-3: The dread of mountains and urban communities out of nowhere disintegrating into the ocean because of an atomic impact frequents numerous individuals today.

    What would it be like if like in the movie It's a Wonderful Life, Satan had been able to stop the birth of Jesus or end His life before adulthood?

    It’s a Wonderful Life Because It’s a Wonderful Christmas! In 1946, the movie, It’s a Wonderful Life came out and quickly became an American Christmas film classic.

    Messiah Jesus Born In A Manger To King Of The Universe

    Contributed by Justin Steckbauer on Dec 28, 2022
     | 1,085 views

    A humble desire for the Lord of all. Simple, pure, truthful, meek, lowly, humble. That’s what it takes. Maybe in the end that’s a gift from the Lord himself.

    “Mother and daughter looked more like twin sisters. Both were grossly overweight, and together they couldn’t have possessed more than eight teeth.

     | 778 views

    The story of the Prodigal Son will teach us many lesson on what we should avoid, and what we should value in order to continue in the place of abundance, and not end up in want.

    We continue our meditation on 2 Corinthians 9:8, “Besides, God is able to make every blessing of yours overflow for you, so that in every situation you will always have all you need for any good work.” (ISV) There is power in the word of God, and we must allow God’s word to be actualized in our ...read more

     | 136 views

    Considering three questions that deserve an answer, “Should I not punish them for this?” “Should I not avenge myself against such a nation.” But what will you do when the end comes?”

    Sermon: Three Questions that Deserve Consideration Scripture Lesson: Jeremiah 5:25-31 “Your wickedness has deprived you of these wonderful blessings.

    The Point Of Prophecy Series

    Contributed by Billy Ricks on Aug 26, 2015
    based on 4 ratings
     | 9,804 views

    The point of prophecy is to point us toward God. The point of Daniel's prophecy isn't necessarily profound but it is very practical. No matter what happens go you way until the end. It is a call to be faithful in the face of all circumstances in Christ

    Intro: When we began this study on Daniel you were encouraged that because God is in control you can live righteously or Godly in this wicked world. You should also remember that the prophecies were written not to satisfy your curiosity but to strengthen your faith. God is in control and ...read more

    The end result if we stay in the world is death. Spiritual death. Separation from God. In this passage, John the Baptist came as a witness to the True Light and showed people the way to Jesus. He was a witness for Jesus. Jesus is salvation.

    THE FROG SPA John 1:6-9 #John1 READ John 1:6-9 There came a man who was sent from God; his name was John. 7 He came as a witness to testify concerning that light, so that through him all men might believe. 8 He himself was not the light; he came only as a witness to the light. 9 The True ...read more

     | 2,572 views

    In the past, and this is true especially for women, the relationship sequence that most ladies aimed to follow went like this: dating then marriage, which led to sex, then living together, and then children. Today, marriage comes near the end of the line.

    Back in the 1980s, Buckminster Fuller created what is known as the “Knowledge Doubling Curve.” Fuller was an author, architect, systems theorist, inventor, designer, and futurist, and again, he presented the idea of the “Knowledge Doubling Curve.” Fuller observed that until 1900 human knowledge ...read more

     | 2,601 views

    Jesus ends the whys and wherefores of our burdened hearts – not with explanations so much as with loving, perfect restoration – making all things right, maybe not here, but absolutely in heaven – a real place, a steadfast promise, a rock-solid guarantee f

    "Someone" (vs 23) asks a general question but God desires personal questons... Thoughts on our walk toward the Narrow Door. Can be a very fun sermon. A call for people to have a deeper walk with God. Concluding sugestions at the end of sermon.

    In some of our previous messages I shared from: 1) Luke 13:31-35 where Jesus weeps for Jerusalem. The Pharisees have a pretense of caring for Jesus by warning Him of Herod's plans to kill Him, all while they themselves desire to do just that. We also talked about the animal imagery used in the ...read more

    WRESTLING WITH SHADOWS Life is something many people fail to understand because there are so many questions those men cannot answer.

    He was born blind and there didn't seem to be anything he could do. Then Jesus came by, and, using an unusual "medicine", gave him his sight. Look at how the story ends, too.

    Text: John 9:1-7 KJV 1 And as (Jesus) passed by, he saw a man which was blind from (his) birth. 2 And his disciples asked him, saying, Master, who did sin, this man, or his parents, that he was born blind? 3 Jesus answered, Neither hath this man sinned, nor his parents: but that the works of God ...read more
