    Let us conderside the dangers of SELF-DOUBT. Gideon focused on the mess of his day and he refused he was a mighty man of God. Self-doubt is a terrible test that can hinder miracles.

    A Fair Test For Those Who Think They Prophesy

    Contributed by Michael Stark on Jan 8, 2020
     | 4,942 views

    While "prophecy" so-called is popular among a segment of the faithful, the test of prophets is seldom applied. The test of accuracy and adherence to the Word of God must be applied to verify a prophecy.

    “If a prophet or a dreamer of dreams arises among you and gives you a sign or a wonder, and the sign or wonder that he tells you comes to pass, and if he says, ‘Let us go after other gods,’ which you have not known, ‘and let us serve them,’ you shall not listen to the words of that prophet or that ...read more

    You probably know that what we learn after we are out of school is much more than what we learned in the classrooms while we were in school.

    A mistake many high school students make is to think that one day they will graduate and never have to apply in their daily living any of the things they learned in those classrooms in the past twelve years. The reason they think that way is because we have been trained to think of a classroom ...read more

    Contributed by Jonathan Spurlock on Nov 5, 2022
     | 2,386 views

    Gideon had met the Angel of the LORD face to face, one day, and that night, received a message from the LORD. That message contained instructions for two of the most difficult things Gideon would ever be asked to do.

    (Note: this message is based on and edited from a sermon preached at First Baptist Church of Chamois, MO on 10-16-2022 but is not an exact transcription.) Introduction: Gideon had just realized he saw the Angel of the LORD and was probably trying to take it all in. He was one of only a few people ...read more

    Contributed by John Gaston on Jun 3, 2023
     | 2,656 views

    Cana was mysteriously chosen to be the site of Jesus' first two miracles in Galilee. Cana means "a rod for measuring." At Cana a desperate man met Jesus. His perspective was changed and his gold-like faith emerged.

    We must love others. We are to love in deed and in truth and not just in word.

    1 John 3:11-24 depicts the differentiation among love and hate, and how love should be found in the existence of every Christian believer. Evil has an envious scorn for goodness. For this reason, Cain killed Abel, and it is why hatred is viewed as murder’s spiritual identical. Christians are relied ...read more

Migrating people from the far reaches of Asia are imagined coming together in the area between the Tigris and Euphrates rivers. ...read more
