     | 2,964 views

    When you consider the sin of mankind and the tumult of the nations, what hope is there for sinful man. The truth is that all we have is a prayer--and it's enough when you pray as Daniel prayed.

     | 55 views

    Trusting God’s presence and help gives us courage and steadiness, even when life feels overwhelming and uncertain, because faith refuses to panic.

    Some of us walked in today with hearts that feel waterlogged. Headlines pound like hail on a tin roof. Bills stack up like sandbags at the door. A diagnosis, a disappointment, a detour you didn’t see coming—each one another inch on the flood gauge of the soul. You wonder, “How high will this go? ...read more

    Lee Strobel presents a message to a Colorado church shortly after the movie theater massacre in Aurora, Colorado.

    It was the worst mass shooting in American history – 70 people shot by a gunman, 12 of them killed, while they were watching the midnight showing of a new movie just 21 miles from where we’re sitting.

    "Our Identity In Christ (I): We Are Humans, Created In God’s Image”

    Contributed by Benjamin Utomo on Jun 2, 2021
     | 11,625 views

    Knowing who we are in Christ is vital. Without it, we can be confused, lost, and have no meaning and purpose in our lives, and therefore, fail to accomplish God's plans for us. This is the first sermon series on "Our Identity in Christ."

    Last week we learned from Romans 12:3 the importance of having a correct understanding of ourselves. Otherwise, we can become arrogant, feel that we are great, smart, strong, and right, when in fact it is not. Or conversely, we can become inferior, not realizing the gifts and abilities that God has ...read more
