     | 13,076 views

    Never consider anyone hopeless. Pray intensely, watch out for the naysayers or for your own negativity, and then participate in the redemption Christ wants to bring.

    He’s just hopeless! She is beyond redemption! I am never going to make it! They have no future whatsoever! They are hopeless! Are you ever tempted to speak like that? Do you ever feel that way about somebody, maybe even about yourself? Hopeless? Watch out. Because there is nothing more ...read more

    As a body of believers we are encouraged to rise up, build up, and work up in the strength of the Lord.

    By: R. AuBuchon Jr. In the past two weeks we have been invited to get in the boat and work together as a team. Today we are challenged to rebuild the walls that will fortify family life, church life and community life. Much like in the days of Nehemiah the walls that once protected and gave us ...read more

    Built Up, Bound Up, Lifted Up

    Contributed by Joseph Smith on Feb 16, 2010
    based on 5 ratings
     | 12,020 views

    We are so into upward mobility; but God's version is different. It involves building us up so that the powerless have power; binding up the wounded so that they can understand brokenness; and lifting us up so that we can use our power for others.

    I can remember when the word "furlough" was a happy word. It was a happy word because it meant that somebody in your family was coming home from military duty for a while. "Furlough" for me brings up a memory of standing, as a small boy, in Union Station in Louisville, waiting for the train to ...read more

    David’s life is an example for all of us not just with his experiences in life, but (as well) his experiences in prayer. If there was anyone in the Bible who really understood the ups and downs of prayer it had to have been David.

    LORD, TEACH US TO PRAY Introduction: Last week we considered the differences between a little boy named David and a great king, named Saul. If you remember, King Saul had been told the Word of God by the prophet Samuel. But King Saul disobeyed Samuel and the Word of the Lord. The result was ...read more

    I’m sure of one thing, no one jumps up and down when the Lord calls them to a place they have never been, or like me, you go scratching, clawing and crying to hang on to where you are

    GO WHERE? Genesis 12:1-4 Now the Lord had said to Abraham: “Get out of your country, from your kindred from your fathers house, to a land that I will show you. I will make you a great nation; I will bless you and make your name great; and you shall be a blessing. I will bless those who bless you, ...read more

    Saints Are Just Sinners Who Fall Down And Get Back Up

    Help believers understand that the Bible doesn’t teach sinless perfection; but rather endurance, perservering to the end and being an overcomer is what it’s all about.

    MICAH 7:8 Rejoice not against me, O mine enemy: when I fall, I shall arise; when I sit in darkness, the LORD shall be a light unto me. THE SAINTS ARE JUST THE SINNERS WHO FALL DOWN AND GET UP In our modern day vernacular we have made the term “SAINT” synonymous with perfection. If someone: Lives a ...read more

    We are going to see 3 things about the early church; first they got fed-up with the world, then they got filled-up with the Spirit, and then they got fired-up to witness.
