    The message begins with a discussion of the loss of a cutting edge and then moves into a message on the attack on blacksmiths hell has had. The enemy doesn't want us to have weapons, or people skilled in their use and able to train others.

    The pandemic situation right now in the world points squarely to disobedience to God, don’t you dare think you can disobey and get away with it, the ‘corona virus’ has been released on the world from the storehouse of God.

    When you leave His presence..Part 1 Jonah 1: 3”But Jonah rose up to flee to Tarshish from the presence of the LORD.” When you disobey God, you actually may feel free but you are fleeing from His presence, which is very dangerous.

    Modern-Day Legalism (Part 1) Series

    Contributed by Greg Powell on Sep 23, 2020
    based on 3 ratings
     | 5,536 views

    We have seen how legalism in Paul’s day added works to salvation, but that is largely not what modern-day legalism is in the church now. Legalism for us applies in the area of how we perceive our sanctification and how we portray our spirituality to others.

    INTRO: I need to explain what is going on with the next couple of messages. We have dipped our toe in the water of legalism as it has been addressed in the book of Galatians so far. I am going to take a couple messages and jump into the entire pool of what legalism looks like for us today. We ...read more

     | 2,934 views

    Sloth is a sluggishness of soul or boredom because of the exertion necessary for the performance of a good work. Are we guilty of it?

    In the rain forests of Central and South America dwells a small ugly looking mammal called a sloth. This little creature is so sedentary that algae grows on its furry coat. When it moves—which is rarely, since it spends 20 hours a day sleeping—it travels at a top speed of 0.15 mph. When we think ...read more

    We can learn from Enoch to walk with God, that God expects us to walk by faith and that without faith we cannot please God or enter heaven

    God’s mercy meets us in the depths, restores the runaway, and raises us up through the same power that raised Jesus from the grave.

    Introduction The Bible contains some very peculiar verses, doesn’t it? But two of the strangest I’ve come across are right here in Jonah chapter two.
