    Contributed by John Gaston on Aug 29, 2018
     | 9,674 views

    Frequently we settle for less, missing out on God's best. Nazareth could have had Jesus, but they rejected Him and missed the healing and deliverance they could have had.

     | 6,680 views

    Elisha put his hands on the King's and said "Shoot!" Then the King banged the arrows, but only 3X. God gave him the opportunity for complete spiritual victory, but the King was only halfway committed. We must make a 100% dedication if we want God's best!

    “STRIKE THE IRON WHILE IT’S HOT!” 2 Kgs. 13:15-19 INTRODUCTION A. HUMOR: MISTAKEN FOR GOD 1. A nurse wrote in Reader’s Digest that she works in a hospital’s children’s ward. “One night I was at the nurse’s station when I heard a little boy in his room talking to himself. 2.

     | 3,150 views

    Destiny is in OUR hands as much as it is in the hands of God. We can have a Disastrous Destiny if we choose to live our lives without God and His priorities or we can have a Delightful Destiny which is the consequence of choosing to live to please God!

    In the Bible, through his actions and prayers, Daniel gives us a powerful example of what it looks like to live unashamed in a culture that sees no need to live righteously and obediently for God's glory.
