    It’s easy to trust God when the sea is parting, when the walls of Jericho are falling, when His voice is clearly coming through to our spirit. But what about those days when God is silent? Discovering both sides of Faith!

Text: Hebrews 11:13-16 "These all died in faith, not having received the promises, but having seen them afar off, and were persuaded of them, and embraced them, and confessed that they were strangers ...read more

    If You Want To Grow, Examine What You Think You Know

    Contributed by Nettie J Pennington on Jun 22, 2023
     | 1,950 views

    Give God the glory for all you are and all you will be. Let us look inside ourselves and find the person God created us to be. If you know yourself, more power to you, but we still need to examine ourselves, if for no other reason than that is what God told us to do. Examine Yourself!

    When you know who you are in Christ, you can easily follow the Lord’s Way and Truth. Some of you think, “That’s too hard.” However, I ask the Holy Spirit to bring to your remembrance that Jesus, Himself, said: “My yoke is easy, and my burden is light” (Matt. 11:30, NIV). If things are hard for some ...read more
