    Dreams happen when we let our imagination run wild, when we choose to think outside the box, when we throw off all of the constraints of the way things are and imagine the way things could be. So what is a dream? A dream is God’s picture, vision or bluepr

    Dream On... Genesis 37:1-11 In our Scripture today, Joseph, one of 12 sons of Jacob had a dream where he would rise up in authority over his brothers and they would bow down to him.

    The Bible tells us very little about what Deacons were and what they did. And when these men do their jobs correctly they can become the most important leaders in the Church. What should a deacon do? And how does he become so important to God?

    God planted Israel - both the old and the new - to bear fruit. At harvest time, only the good fruit will be kept.

    This passage is another tough one, dealing with wrath and judgment and punishment. And as you know scaring people into the kingdom is not my favorite style, although it may very well be that fear is a better motivator for some people than it is for me. But in our day and age, it’s more ...read more

    Most of us as individuals have low-level demons attacking us, hindering us, and so all of us that are in the Army of God must have divine help each and every day, God has provided an Armor for us, but we must put it on.
