    based on 15 ratings
     | 17,597 views

    God often deals with us at night. In the deepest night God brings Israel out of Egypt. At night God wrestles with Jacob. At midnight God looses Peter’s chains. At night Paul hears the Macedonian call. In the middle of the night God calls Samuel to serve.

    Night Calls – Part One: “A Call to Serve” 1 Samuel 3:1-21 Introduction: God’s word declares that “God is light and in Him is no darkness at all” As such we often equate times of trouble, of difficulty, of spiritual lows with the night. We speak of the thief coming in the night; of death stalking at ...read more

    Every name carries significance for good or for evil. But the name of Jesus is above every name. It is the only name that can bring salvation.

    THAT NAME Is there something important about your name? In a day and time when it seems that people have begun to name their children just about anything, we have lost sight of what God says is important about naming our children. In Bible times, when children were born, they always given names ...read more

     | 15,335 views

    The world in which we live isn't shy about telling us what a beautiful woman looks like but is this the beauty that God would have us chase after? God's idea of beauty differs vastly from society's idea of beauty - but which beauty are we running after?
