    Love Is The Most Excellent Way

    Contributed by Scott Spencer on Feb 17, 2014
     | 5,084 views

    "I want to show you the best way to take care of virtually every situation, and that is the way of love." Then he points out that love is more important than 5 other things that Christians consider very important.

    Love is the Most Excellent Way The Bible teaches that we are to be people who exercise love in all of our relationships with one another. 1. If I speak in the tongues of men or of angels, but do not have love, I am only a resounding gong or a clanging cymbal. 2. If I have the gift of prophecy and ...read more

    What Is Prayer About

    Contributed by Daren Mitchell on Sep 17, 2012
     | 3,412 views

    Prayer is not an antidote to worry. Have you ever prayed about a stressful situation just to discover that you’re still worried about it? Faith is the antidote to worry. Prayer is about asking God for the supernatural.

    I would like for you to consider for a moment if God appeared to you and said, “The people of Kabul Afghanistan are ready to hear about my Son Jesus and I want you to be the messenger to go speak of His resurrection and offer of grace.” Would you go? Would you go, knowing, that ...read more

    Often we come into situations where we are the underdog? We can't do this? This is beyond my ability... Those that say it can't be done are being passed by those tha tare doing it.

    Have We Not Rather Mourned?

    Contributed by Dale Mcanally on Dec 30, 2014
     | 3,187 views

    Mourning in it’s truest sense in the scriptures means intercession, travail, and earnest supplication. Mourning means that we are seeing or perceiving people and situations through the eyes of the Lord rather than through the judgment of the flesh.

    Jesus practiced mourning regularly. He said in Matthew 23:37, “O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, thou that killest the prophets, and stonest them which are sent unto thee, how often would I have gathered thy children together, even as a hen gathereth her chickens under her wings, and ye would ...read more

    The Pain Of Betrayal

    Contributed by Kerry Haynes on Aug 13, 2017
    based on 4 ratings
     | 18,478 views

    The story of Joseph is a story of betrayal by those closest to you. But it is also a story of how God will see you through, no matter what you face, and how God can bring good out of the worst possible situation.

    Genesis 37:2-4, 12-28 The Pain of Betrayal Boy, does it hurt when someone betrays you! As the anonymous saying goes, “The saddest thing about betrayal is that it never comes from your enemies.” We went through a painful experience in one of my churches. A small group was full of people ...read more

    Transformation Through The Spoken Word

    Contributed by Tesh Njokanma on May 27, 2016
    based on 4 ratings
     | 19,619 views

    A Sermon that discusses the amazing power in the Spoken Word. It's not just enough to know the Word and believe the Word, you have to speak it. Everything, every person, every problem and situation can respond to the Spoken Word.

    A transformation is a complete or major change in someone or something. Ephesians 2:11-22 is a very good example of such a change. It describes the state of a person before the person comes to know the Lord Jesus Christ and the radical change or transformation that takes place after the person ...read more

    Discipling is a process over time that involves many different people, many different settings and situations. And discipling generally begins in small groups and moves to the larger groups. Sometimes as small of groups as two people as it did with me.

    Back to the Basics - Discipling ME As I sat down at my computer this week with thoughts of Discipling on my mind I could not help but think about my own. My own journey and the discipling of received as I become a Christian and after. When I was growing up my dad tried to be a good role model ...read more

     | 5,350 views

    Although Paul was bound under house arrest, the Gospel wasn't. God used Paul's situation in Rome to reach out to the Jewish leaders, the guards, and the believers in Rome and other places through his writings over the two years. God's work cannot be bound.
