Parable Of The Loaves And Fish, Revised

Contributed by Craig Condon on Apr 11, 2015

Take Up Your Cross Series

Contributed by Mark Aarssen on Jun 7, 2016

What are we projecting to other people about our service to the Lord if we are complaining about it instead of having fun while we are doing it? We get hung up when people in the world try to trip us up and slow down our walk to a crawl.

And I’m so grateful for my wife who has been there day in and day out challenging my poor thinking patterns. Reciting God’s word to me. She brings the truth up, and just ...read more

How To Build A "Mega" Church!

Contributed by Dwight Jones on Nov 27, 2005
