    Called To Conquer Pt.3 (Taking The Land) Series

    Contributed by Mark Baker on Nov 3, 2007
    based on 3 ratings
     | 5,953 views

    In this study let’s look at the ultimate goal of a conqueror. That is to take and inhabit the land that God has called us into. What would be accomplished if we could take the land, but not inhabit and maintain what we have been given?

    In this third study I would like to again start with the words of the Apostle Paul, and define what a conqueror is. Romans 8:37-39. Yet in all these things we are more than conquerors through Him who loved us. For I am persuaded that neither death nor life, nor angels nor principalities nor ...read more

    Joy in the Lord is to be understood, received, and experienced and we are to do this always!

    What’s the opposite of joy?? The opposite of joy is misery. Which do you prefer, to rejoice or to be miserable? What does God want for us? Christians are commanded to rejoice! Philippians 4:4 tells us, Rejoice in the Lord always and again I say Rejoice! Does this mean Christians are to be ...read more

     | 5,163 views

    Make no mistake - we are soldiers for Christ. As soldiers, we have a duty to do what He has told us to do: Love & pray for our enemies - including those of the Islamic faith.

    It is fitting that we start this sermon by coming to an understanding of just who we are. Put in its simplest terms, we are soldiers of Jesus Christ. No Christian should ever doubt that. And, as soldiers, we must have certain knowledge and perform certain duties. 2 TIMOTHY 2:3 states, ‘Endure ...read more

    The Word of God makes it clear that when we as His people do not get a fresh vision from Him it is because we do not seek Him in what He wants to do through us.

    Proverbs 29:18 (KJV) says, “Without vision the people perish.” - Vision according to John Maxwell is - Awareness- the ability to see - Attitude- the faith to believe - Action- the courage to do - George Barna says “vision for ministry is a reflection of what God wants to accomplish through us to ...read more

    Why Worry?

    Contributed by Bruce Hadley on Aug 25, 2020
     | 9,076 views

    Jesus tells us not to worry. However, in today's world, life seems a little more complicated than in Jesus days, and most of us don't worry about food and clothing. So, what did fully have in mind when He tells us “not worry about what we will eat or wear?

    The other day, when I was out on my walk and I noticed the birds, all different kinds of birds, chirping, eating stuff off the grass, and doing what birds do. Then it came to mind; though the world is in a global pandemic, and having social uprisings, it’s not effecting the birds. I thought ...read more
