  • Are You Living, Or Are You Dying? Series

    Contributed by Nickolas Kooi on Oct 1, 2017
    based on 1 rating
     | 9,368 views

    My dorm mate used to say, "Are you living, or are you dying?" His saying brings up a point. What is living? As Paul sits in a dark, dank, depressing prison cell, he gives us and the Philippians an answer.

    Are you living, or are you dying? One of my dormmates, Josh, would tell me that all the time. He would say that to encourage me to get out of my room, to stop studying, and to go have some fun, which, in his definition, would be living. Then what is dying? Well, that is what I was doing, and ...read more

     | 2,096 views

    He’s telling you not to be surprised “if the world hates you”, and then he’s telling you why it hates you. It’s precisely because “we love our brothers.”

    What Now? John 14:1-3NASB Here’s the greatest news ever, to every believer, Jesus settled heaven through His life, death, burial and resurrection. He doesn’t mix words about eternity. He commands just one thing- believe. However on this earth, there’s even more ...read more

    Have you failed or fallen in ministry? God wants you to review, renew and rest in your calling.

    WHAT IS YOUR CALLING? Two Kentucky horse racing stable owners had developed a keen rivalry. Each spring they both entered a horse in a local race. One of them thought that having a professional rider might give his horse an edge in the race, so he hired a hot-shot jockey. Well, the day of the race ...read more

    based on 3 ratings
     | 1,773 views

    The seven passions of a Revolutionary are defined for us in the book of Acts. These Scriptures are important to us because they describe the very nature of the life of the early church as it began to form immediately after Jesus returned to heaven.

    Are you a Revolutionary? Are you transforming your entire life to emulate that of Jesus Christ’s? Are you transforming your entire perspective to emulate that of Jesus Christ’s? Your spiritual practices? Your attitude? Your character? Your faith? Your relationships? Your behavior? God wants to do ...read more

     | 3,777 views

    What is God like? Is your opinion of God based on an aloof, disconnected, or angry vengeful powerful being who is stern and judgmental? What would He be like if you ran into Him on the street? It might surprise you, but God is a lot like Galatians5:23-26.

    I had the opportunity to drive in a foreign country recently. At first I tried to use Google Maps directions but ended up hopelessly lost and confused.
