Victory Is Where We Live

Contributed by Barry O Johnson on Nov 25, 2017

When it comes to the things of this world, God is not interested in how successful we are. Success can be measured. When it comes to the things of this world, God wants nothing less than complete, total and unquestioned victory for us.

I don’t have any notes tonight because I’m going to read a little bit. There are many in the Body of Christ who, when they pray and nothing happens, they say to themselves “I just want to see a little success. I want to see something positive happen.” That is not what God is after. God is not ...read more

Constant Battle But, Everlasting Victory!

Contributed by Ronnie Miller on Jan 17, 2014

We all were identified with Adam and Eve. It’s because of the sinful nature of Adam and Eve we were identified with them. We were married to their nature so to speak. But, now we have Christ and we have a new identity.

Constant battle but, everlasting victory! Romans 7:1 Know ye not, brethren, (for I speak to them that know the law,) how that the law hath dominion over a man as long as he liveth? 2 For the woman which hath an husband is bound by the law to her husband so long as he liveth; but if the husband be ...read more

The Kingdom: Now, But Not Yet Series

Any Day Now Series

Both Peter and Paul raise the same question: what should we be doing when … not ‘if’ but ‘when’ … the Lord appears? How do you want Him to find you? Vigilant? Full of hope and expectation? Prepared? Ready to greet Him? Or scoffing? Asleep?
