Blueprint: God's Plan For The Church Series

Contributed by David Owens on Jan 28, 2019

As I mentioned two weeks ago, there is always a need to return to the basics and strengthen the foundation, and that is something we will ...read more

Give Me Patience ... Now! Series

Contributed by Gordon Pike on Mar 31, 2019

It is always a bad idea to try to accomplish God’s plan in your own way and by your own timing. God’s plans come complete with His methods and His timing, and when we get impatient and try to tinker with that … well, everything gets all messed up.

“Don’t pray for patience.” Who hasn’t heard that before, amen? It’s almost become an axiom when it comes to prayer, hasn’t it? Some of you, I suspect, believe it and have even advised someone in your family or one of your friends not to pray for patience. I disagree. I pray for patience all ...read more
