Developing The Attitude Of Faithfulness Series

Contributed by Manny Salva Cruz on Jan 10, 2016

When God blessed us, He wants to know if we have been faithful with these blessings. In this message, we will learn from Joshua 22 that God requires us to be faithful in our lifetime. May we develop this attitude of faithfulness starting this New Year.

Last week, we talked about building great attitudes for the New year. We said that attitude is everything. Attitude is more important than facts, than the past, than education, than money, than circumstances. We cannot change the past but we can change the way we react to difficult situations. And ...read more

Manner And Message Of Paul

Contributed by Richard Tow on Feb 1, 2016

Imitating Christ’s Humility

Contributed by Ajai Prakash on Feb 28, 2014
