Waiting On The Spirit

Contributed by Bishop Johnathan Hester on Mar 11, 2011

Waiting on the Spirit Acts 1:23-26 So they proposed two men: Joseph called Barsabbas (also known as Justus) and Matthias. Then they prayed, "Lord, you know everyone’s heart.

"Waiting For The Lord"

Contributed by Alan Hughes on Oct 7, 2004

Waiting for the Lord constitutes an act of faith. This is not an easy proverb to follow since we are such activists. Like Job, we, too, need to learn that it is more important to trust God than to have answers to all our questions.

Waiting For Christmas Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Apr 8, 2021

We need to remember, Christmas is a celebration, not of what might be or of what we hope to see happen, it is a celebration of a sure thing that has already happened. God has come down to man to dwell with him.

In 563 BC, a son was born to a ruler in India. The local astrologers predicted he would either be a great ruler or a world renowned ascetic.

Waiting On God Series

Contributed by Jeff Poor on Mar 7, 2017

Waiting is a difficult thing for us to do. Much of our lives is spent waiting in lines, on hold, in traffic, at the doctor's office. Do you ever wonder why God makes us wait? We'll take a look at a David's life and see what he learned from waiting on God.

If God puts unexpected obstacles in your path to ministry, how should you handle it?

I, on the other hand, would not even be eligible to receive a call for at least one year, perhaps two or more. ...read more

Waiting for an answer.

An examination of the importance of and manner in which we are to wait on God in our lives.

The saying goes: “Timing is everything.” That is so true. You see this to be obvious in the trauma operating room.
