     | 7,532 views

    The call of God has been upon our life much before even we could comprehend our left hand from the right. That is the time when God had people in place who would take care to raise us up. How has your call played out? Do you see yourself facilitating ...

    Doing things the smart way don’t cost half as much as doing things the dumb way. Just as the children of Israel. Best lessons are learned while in the wilderness. Let’s see why!

    Introduction There’s an old saying and I wished I knew who to give the credit to but it goes like this, "Doing things the smart way don’t cost half as much as doing things the dumb way!" How true. Just ask the children of Israel. How long did you say it took them to reach the promised land, Oh ...read more

     | 9,454 views

    Since Jesus is called “the Star out of Jacob” (Numbers 24:17) and the “Morning Star” (2 Pet. 1:19), it doesn’t seem surprising that Jesus' birth would be heralded by a new Star. For truly, a Star had been born!

    HAVE YOU SEEN “HIS STAR?” Matt. 2:1-12 INTRODUCTION A. HUMOR: THE UNSELFISH REQUEST 1. The Santa Claus at the shopping mall was very surprised when Emily, a young lady about 20 years old, walked up and sat on his lap. 2.

    The world is searching for answers, and Jesus is the greatest answer to their search.

    All Is Now Yours: Giving What We Do Not Have

    Contributed by Joseph Smith on Oct 8, 2001
    based on 34 ratings
     | 5,197 views

    In uncertain times, it remains true that giving away what we cannot possess anyway is the path to fulfillment; it must, however, be a gift that refreshes the fainting.

    It seems that we do not have what we think we have. Sometimes what seems to be ours is not ours at all. Buildings as sturdy as the Pentagon and as imposing as the World Trade Center can be destroyed in a moment of awful terror. Lives promising and beautiful are snuffed out, and there is little ...read more

    Apostle Paul often spoke of his Christian life as if running in the Olympic Games. I believe Paul watched those games many times and running was probably the most competitive. What prize was Paul running for? Salvation is not the prize
