    Apathy melts when wounded believers encounter the gentle, pursuing love of Jesus—and a church that mirrors His compassion becomes a place where hearts burn again.

    I want to talk to you this morning about something that sits quietly in the corners of our churches. It doesn’t shout. It doesn’t slam doors.

     | 8,980 views

    If God be for us, who can be against us? If God Is for us, then why do we fear the world? We will examine the Disciple's fearfulness on the occasion of Jesus calming the storm.

    Jesus asked the question, Why are you so fearful? That is a question many need to answer today. In spite of what they say, 90% of the chronic patients who see today's physicians have one common symptom. Their trouble did not start with cough or chest pain or hyperacidity. In 90% of the cases, ...read more

    We must guard against pursuing our desires at the expense of do what honours God. Christians, especially, can lose effectiveness in service if they fail to consider the cost of their choices.
