    Sometimes we think prayer is a long list of our needs, but mature praying is filled with God’s word speaking it to your situation.

    Speak out your own Miracle! Mark 11:12-24 Introduction: Here is another part of the scripture that shows how powerful words are. I don’t know if you noticed it too, in the scriptures every time Jesus will drive home a point, he uses stories, or make an action. Like the feeding of the 5000, the ...read more

    So Near And Yet So Far

     | 9,645 views

    We will never be as close to Christ as we could be or think we are if we are oblivious to today’s issues or build monuments to past achievements.

    We can be close to something, and yet miss it. We can be almost on target, almost where we want to .be, and yet, if we’re not exactly where we ought to be, we miss it. So near and yet so far. A couple of years ago, when my wife and I were touring England, we were in Victoria Station, one of the ...read more

    Some think they are blessed but disobey the Word. Some don't believe that God heals those that obey. God does not bless disobedience.

    The Lord That Healeth Thee And he cried unto the LORD; and the LORD shewed him a tree, which when he had cast into the waters, the waters were made sweet: there he made for them a statute and an ordinance, and there he proved them, And said, If thou wilt diligently hearken to the voice of the LORD ...read more

    I would propose up front that God does answer our prayers more often than we like to think....Why?

    I was asked recently, Why doesn’t God answer my prayers? Here is my answer. I would propose up front that God does answer our prayers more often than we like to think, its just that we aren’t getting the answers we want. God can answer with a No, but we wanted a Yes and so we keep praying, looking ...read more

    What matters more to us, what other people think of us or what God thanks of us? But God knows our hearts.

    But God ... But God has a better idea, but God intervenes, but God knows better. But God knows our hearts.

     | 4,422 views

    Too often we think God has too many rules and laws and we do not embrace God because of the rules/legalism

    No one was thinking of a cross the night Jesus was born, at least no one on earth. For heaven, though, this moment had been planned for from the beginning.

    Provoking Thoughts From 1 John (3 Of 16)

    Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Mar 10, 2022
     | 1,407 views

    In chapter two we see why many think John was a “softy.” Look at verse 1. We read, “My little children...”

    As we read these words, we can not help but think of an old, gray-haired man expressing concern for his children. This was exactly what John was doing. In a pervious sermon we dealt with the two sides of John’s personality. • That is, he had the intestinal fortitude to be able to look at the ...read more
