    Contributed by Allan Kircher on May 31, 2009
    based on 6 ratings
     | 3,365 views

    You may be have been foolish at the cross by the mockery of your life and lips and your actions. These people get so close to the cross but choose to deny the blood it shed.

    Jacob had an encounter with God that shook him to his core. This fugitive on the run discovered that his ancestors' God was his God, and that this God would be with him wherever he went. Great lessons for us to learn on our faith pilgrimage.

    Genesis 28:10-19 When God Shows Up In today’s story, Jacob was in a strange place to meet God. You might expect to encounter God at a church retreat or a revival meeting, or in an inspiring church service. You might expect to find God when you are serving him with all your heart. But Jacob had ...read more

    Have you ever noticed how ministries can become politicized over time? It's a real concern in our day and age, where political ideology has the country polarized, that same political activism can push its way into the church.

    Selfless Obedience (Mother's Day) Series

    Contributed by Steven Simala Grant on Jun 11, 2013
     | 14,441 views

    Selflessness is the key characteristic in Jesus' command to take up our crosses and follow him. The stories of Jochebed, Hannah, and Mary (Jesus' mother) illustrate selflessness.

    The mind the seat of the soul. It is the place where flesh and spirit exchange ideas and come to conclusions about the world around you. It can either be a conductor for the Spirit of God, or a breeding ground for the corruption of the flesh.
