Harvest Time

Contributed by Ajai Prakash on Apr 25, 2024

Taking Time

Contributed by Chris Swanson on Oct 18, 2022

Looking for solitude was a significant need for Jesus. We need to foster the control of investing energy alone with God. Spending time alone with God is necessary.

A Time To Repent Series

Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on May 6, 2021

Daniel took it on himself to intercede for the entire nation. He was just one person; yet the Lord heard his prayer. God will intervene on behalf of the few who fear His name and seek His face.

In our message today, we’re going to view Daniel’s prayer of repentance for the nation of Israel. Donald S. Whitney says of prayer, that God “expects us to pray just as a general expects to hear from his soldiers in the battle” and that “prayer is a walkie-talkie for warfare, not a domestic ...read more

It Is Time To Rebuild

Contributed by Otis Mcmillan on Aug 4, 2021
