    Jesus is the only source of salvation who can bring us forgiven and restored back into an intimate relationship with God the Father. Forsake the world, self, and those things that cannot nourish us spiritually.

    JESUS HAS JUST FINISHED FEEDING THE 5,000 AND IS DEPARTING THE AREA. HE HAD JUST DISPLAYED HIS POWER AND AUTHORITY AND REVEALED THE GLORY OF GOD. ONE WOULD THINK IT WOULD BE SEARED IN THE MEMORY OF ALL 5,000 PEOPLE. NOT QUITE! WE ARE TOLD, BY SCRIPTURE, THAT THEY WERE ACTUALLY A BIT OFFENDED THAT ...read more

     | 2,626 views

    Whether we are or are not convinced that Christ rose from the dead does not affect the reality of the Resurrection. The Bible presents it as objective history. But if we accept its reality by faith and live consistently in light of it, it changes our l

    Moses: From Contentment To Calling

    Contributed by Austin W. Duncan on Sep 26, 2025
    based on 1 rating
     | 239 views

    Self-help says “look within” for happiness; Scripture says contentment comes from being humbled by God and satisfied in Christ. In Moses we’ll see that contentment often precedes calling, stays active (not complacent), and resists complaining—because Christ is enough.

    Let me ask you a simple question, “Are you content?” I saw a self-help based article on the Internet that suggested contentment can be found by catching yourself thinking “life sucks,” and stopping such thinking. It continued that contentment is found by cultivating a thankfulness for “little ...read more

    Freedom From Generational Curses

    Contributed by James Dina on Jan 24, 2021

     | 15,558 views

    Why would God want you to confess the sins of your father or mother when you had nothing to do with their sins in the first place? He wants you to know the severity of their sins. A generational curse comes through the blood line and can only be cancelled by the blood of Jesus.

    FREEDOM FROM GENERATIONAL CURSES “Keeping mercy for thousands, forgiving iniquity and transgression and sin, and that will by no means clear the guilty; visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children and upon the children’s children, unto the third and to the fourth generation” (Exodus ...read more
