    The Vanishing Father

    Contributed by Charles Payne on Jun 12, 2025
     | 479 views

     | 667 views

    Even when God feels silent or distant, He has not abandoned us. His presence is constant—even in the pain, even in the silence. The lie says God has walked away; the truth is, He is still with us. Always.

    ### **Introduction: The Lie That God Has Abandoned Us** Video Ill.: Sermon Bumper 5 There is a belief that has quietly worked its way into hearts and minds for generations — and it still lingers today. It is the belief that God created the universe, yes — but then He stepped back. He set the ...read more

    Yes I’m just like you when I hear a word and a promise that makes me think of revival. Wouldn’t that be nice, revival would solve everything! Thing is, God already sent the power of revival! Revival has a name and it’s Jesus!

    Who has ever wore a new piece of clothing?

    Seven Spiritual Gifts In The Body Of Christ Series

    Contributed by Justin Steckbauer on Apr 15, 2024
     | 827 views

    I have a body with hands, shoulders, feet, knees, eyes, ears, and all sorts of different parts. They do not all have the same function, do they? My feet do very different things from my hands. Yet they are all part of my body. They work together, not against each other.

    When examining the human body, there are numerous systems all working at the same time to regulate, protect, strengthen, and heal the human body. There is the respiratory system which brings oxygen into the body and expels carbon dioxide. The brain communicates instructions to the rest of the body. ...read more

    Contributed by David Owens on Apr 11, 2022
     | 10,038 views

    The biblical record of what took place on that Saturday between crucifixion Friday and resurrection Sunday is very brief. It was the Sabbath, and the disciples kept the Sabbath. There are important lessons for us to learn from what the disciples were surely going through on that dark Saturday.
