    Every building has a firm foundation. Without it, the building would fall down. Similarly, our faith has to have a firm foundation. That foundation is Jesus. Anything else will fail-even the church.

Anything else will fail-even the church. The first reason that churches fail is because they violate their commitment to Jesus Christ as ...read more

    God knows everything, both good and bad He knows everything about us but still loves us. God loves us as we are, but He loves us too much to leave us that way.

    TITLE: God Knows TEXT: Psalm 139:1-6 INTRO: When we lived in NC, people had an expression they used when they didn't understand something, they would say, "God Knows." That's true, of course because God is Omniscient He knows everything, including some things you might wish He didn't know ...read more

    Universal Prayer

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Aug 29, 2013
    based on 5 ratings
     | 4,930 views

    We are called to universal prayer because God desires that "all men" be saved. This is the purpose behind the doctrine of election. There is only one God, one Mediator, one sacrifice. The church's mission is to make a universal declaration of this truth.

    UNIVERSAL PRAYER. 1 Timothy 2:1-7. CONTEXT. The faithful saying that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners is worthy of all acceptation - or ‘worthy to be accepted by ALL’ - (1 Timothy 1:15). “Therefore” - as a priority - Paul exhorts Timothy that “supplications, prayers, ...read more

    Saul disobeyed God. His throne was taken away and given to another. David was anointed by Samuel to be Israel’s new king. Then and now the Lord is seeking for a man or a woman who is “after His own heart.”

    Intro: In 1 Sam. 13:1-14, Saul disobeyed God. His throne was taken away and given to another. David was anointed by Samuel to be Israel’s new king. Then and now the Lord is seeking for a man or a woman who is “after His own heart.” In Psalm 26:1-12 we see the characteristics of such a person. ...read more

    Thursday After Epiphany 2018 Reformation/Revolution The action of the Israelites and the response of the Philistines we have heard proclaimed from the first book of Samuel help us see the two primitive and wrong conceptions of the divine.

    When our work proceeds out of a devotion to Jesus, we will not be without our critics.

    AT THE FEET OF JESUS. John 12:1-8. It has been remarked as remarkable that on three occasions when we meet Mary of Bethany in the Scriptures, she is found at the feet of Jesus. In Luke 10:39 she is sitting at the feet of Jesus. In John 11:32 Mary is prostrated at His feet. In John 12:3 she is ...read more

    The road less traveled isn’t found in any woods. The road of righteousness is the road less traveled. Psalm 15 only has five verses, but contains powerful teaching that can guide us down this road.

    Praying From Victory (Praying From The New Covenant) Series

    Contributed by Christabel N. Onuoha on Apr 21, 2023
     | 3,079 views

    The cross of Jesus Christ and His resurrection changed everything FOREVER! To know this is power. The strength of the enemy’s power over the believer is only to the extent of the knowledge of Christ and His finished work that you know.

    Notice from my topic I did not say, Praying FOR victory, I said, Praying FROM victory. This is critical to underscore because, often times believers come to God in prayer with the notion or mentality of praying in order to obtain victory in the area of their need. This is not a New Testament or the ...read more
